WHICH VERSION DO I GET?

The choice is yours. There are two versions of the mod (they wont mismatch) in Hi-Res (2048 resolution) and Lo-Res (50% reduction in textures). Both are available in EXE (self install) and RAR (manual install) formats.

If you have a high end PC and GPU, by all means use the hi-res links. If you are on an older PC and GPU or just want that extra bit of performance at the cost of a little texture quality, go for the 1024. If there is demand, a 512 resolution set could also be created for those with EXTREMELY low end GPU's


VERSION 1.2 UPDATE

All of the features and improvements from the IndyCar Series 2009 mod ported over to 2008 mod.

Is there a update to the road tires? The car veers constantly to the left. Looking at the set-up its symmetrical both sides. Not sure the issue(questioning the tire file at this time) but would be great to be fixed.

@cad713 Thank you. Works fine. I used the one from season 2009. Thanx again!

Mr. Peters: Please do not forget the fix for the sounds in this mod. Thanks.

About mirrors problems, it's a DALLARA_BODYA.GMT file problem. If you have version 1.1 mod, extract this file from DallaraModels.mas and put in GameData\Vehicles\IndycarSeries\2008_Season directory.

Can someone please tell me where to get the tracks that go with this mod please? Very nice job on the mod only 2 complaints on the physics. 1. On the road courses the car pulls to the left at speed but then snaps into huge dart to the right under breaking. This is especially noticeable breaking for turn 5 at Road America. IS this deliberate or a bug?
