Description	: 93 Hi-Rez cars with simple ratings. All major and minor livery and sponsor logo changes for all 		 race cars are documented. This includes accurate contingency layouts. (Due to the high 		 number of race cars included, there is an Extra carset available as a separate download with 20 cars including show cars, cars from testing, launch cars and 2 seater cars.) 

		-Insane-Rez Hoosier tyre textures. Two versions to choose from - black rims and chrome rims. 

		-Windscreen strips.  All cars use a generic strip. However, it is not editable by the user, as 		 	 it is not part of the template. 

		-Brand new templates. Each of the 3 templates has undergone extensive reworking, and are far 		 		 improved over ones used last year. These are available for download. 

		-Pit crews for each car. 

		-5 Subaru style Pace cars representing cars that were seen at Rockingham over the 2003 season.

		-Grand National Series physics. 

		-A new version of the 2003 menu screen. 

		-A more accurate DoT car style cockpit

		-A red fuel cell (as per DoT car) and the exhaust pipes go to the correct side of the car. 

		-Removed the air pipes from the inside of the car, along with the rear window air scoops, as the 		 	 majority of DoT cars do not have these. 

		-2003 Spec DoT tech stickers in the rear windows.
