After more than a year of slowly chipping away at it, I’m proud to finally unleash the National Compact Pro Series presented by T-Mobile. This is a fictional carset utilizing the models of three sporty compact sedans (one of which I own in real life). The Ford Focus and Chevy Sonic have built a strong rivalry over the years, while the Dodge Neon is ready to pounce and prove its superiority. Inspired by the recent demand for more short tracks and road courses, the NCPS aims to be a step up from your typical regional series while still staying true to its roots. The simple style of the Pinty’s mod will provide plenty of opportunities to beat and bang and put on a show for fans all across the U.S. (and Canada). The action is sure to be intense, and the revival is just beginning as these small cars hit the big stage.
Many sponsors have stepped up to support this series as they believe this is the kind of racing that fans want to see. The biggest example of that is the title sponsor creating the T-Mo-Bull Five, a program reminiscent of the Winston No Bull or Xfinity Dash 4 Cash. It includes the five biggest races of the season, where the top five drivers in each race have an opportunity to win some big money. I’ve created rosters for each of those races just for fun, but feel free to mix it up and make your own combination! Eligible cars have special markings including magenta valance tape, spoilers, and roof numbers as well as an alternate windshield banner.
Note: due to the Focus and Sonic no longer being in production (ended in 2018 and 2020 respectively), and the Neon making its resurgence in Mexico in 2016, this series would roughly be based around the 2016-2018 time frame.
What’s included
- 60 rated paint schemes between 37 drivers/36 car numbers plus corresponding crews
- 1 main roster with 48 schemes, 1 roster with 12 T-Mo-Bull schemes, and 5 example T-Mo-Bull Event rosters
- Optional (but recommended) General Tire .mips by Bill1947 (included with permission). Simply place files in NPS2017 series folder
- Optional custom pace car .mips for Bill1947’s 2015 Charger pace car, found here: https://stunodracing.net/index.php?resources/dodge-charger-super-bee-pace-car.6300/ Simply place files in NPS2017 series folder and replace existing .mips (there are 5 designs but you need to add all 10 .mips for it to work properly)
