NASCAR 2 Misc Utilities

NASCAR 1 Utilities

The New Hawaii multiplayer beta - Papyrus
Well this is it, what we have all been waiting for, the ability to race against other human drivers. Papyrus, along with Sierra are testing their new multiplayer racing network, and you can be part of the test. This network is great, I have been racing on it since it came out, and it is the best thing that has happened to the sim since it's release, and the Brickyard conversion patch.

The Brickyard 400 conversion patch - (116k) - Gerhard Lingenberg
This is for those of you who have the Indianapolis Motor Speedway expansion pack for Indy Car 1. Now you can rub paint with the best of NASCAR at the Brickyard. In the original it was only available in low-res mode, but thanks to the author of the patch, Gerhard Lingenberg, we are able to run it in high-res mode. The graphics are very good.

The Unocal 76 Ball patch - (30k) - Alex Santantonio
This patch allows you to change the generic 65 ball in the NASCAR Racing game to the official 76 ball that is tradition in NASCAR Racing. Pack and Unpack utilities from Corey's Race Simulator Track Editor Project.

Indy Car 2 tracks to NASCAR - (523k) - Gerhard Lingenberg
Are you sick of running the same tracks over and over again in your NASCAR sim? Well if you have Indy Car 2 those days are over with now. This patch allows you to run your NASCAR on all of the Indy Car tracks.

Dover concrete patch - (167k) - Neil Jedrzejewski & Tom Hansen
Recently the Dover track was resurfaced with concrete replacing the old asphalt surface. The original patch changed the color of the track, from black to gray, but that included the pit lane and apron too. The new patch only changes the color of the track itself. Although the color is changed the traction is not, therefore the track.txt is still NASCAR legal.

Talladega AI patch - (87k) courtesy of The Pits - Tom Hansen
This patch was created for the daytona patch that was supposed to be put out by the pits, but due to legal problems, it never materialized. This patch allows the computer cars to run faster and with more agression, therefore more passing. This patch is already installed on USA SPEEDWAY.

NASCAR night racing patch - (17k) - Rich Nagel
Do you love racing the night races? Do you wish all of the tracks were available for an occasional night race? Well now they can be. With this patch you can race at any track during the evening hours. Even though not all tracks have lights. I guess there must be a full moon.

NASCAR replay editor - (140k) - Micheal Corrigan
This is version 3 of a good utility for editing replays from the NASCAR sim. This is the most recent version and all of the bugs are worked out now.

Driver editor for NASCAR - (79k) - Chris Mahnken
Having trouble keeping track of your various drivers in each car set. Well this utility allows you to edit your Drivers2.txt files in the specified car set and make all of the drivers as strong or weak as you would like. If you want why not lower Dale's aggressiveness about 200 points, that should calm him down.

Cross weight calculator for NASCAR - (20k) - Author Unknown
Having trouble with cross weight distribution, put this small utility to work for you and it will all fall into place. It is like having a mechanic in windows.

Hawaii setups for NASCAR - (20k) - The Pits
I have seen several requests for good setups for racing on Hawaii. While looking around on the internet I found this at The US Pits. I tried them out and found them all to work up near the front of the field every time.
