This is a complete carset (303 cars*) for the Winston Cup 1985 Season; It is split into five (5) files for purposes of upload file-size posting (simply unzip and copy all the files into a single folder); Driver Ratings are compiled from actual statistics (Racing Reference); Rosters for each race of the 1985 season are included. Rosters also included for the Busch Clash, Daytona 500 Qualifying Races, Daytona 500 Consolation Race, and The Winston All-Star Race.
(*Note: I spent countless hours Google searching, and it was very difficult to find historical photos on a few of the cars/drivers, so certain car files should be considered as "supposed schemes" to enable completion of the entire set. If anyone has better versions or reference photos of those cars, feel free to send them. I will paint corrected versions and replace them in the car-set.)
I have also included two versions** of a fictional #30 Ford Motorsport 1985 Ford Thunderbird to be used as the player car
(** one with fuel filler on left, for all oval tracks; one with fuel filler on right, for road courses)
Today also happens to be my birthday ... so this is my birthday gift to all of you !! ENJOY !!
