  Can anyone tell me the difference between driver.txt and drivers2.txt in
Nascar.  Some of my carsets have both while one has only the drivers2.txt.
 I think only the drivers2.txt is necessary.  I downloaded a carset that
has neither and was wondering which one I need to add?  

                            Thanks
                                 Ken

You need a drivers2.txt file in the car directory.  The drivers.txt file
is just sorta a backup and a commented version of the drivers2.txt.  I
think that if you don't have the drivers2.txt the program will look for
a drivers.txt file before it fails.

Actually, I believe that the program looks first for the drivers2.txt file
and if that is not found then the drivers.txt file is used.

Only the Drivers2.txt is required.   The drivers.txt is a backup file
should you amend the other.   You can safely delete the drivers.txt
file in downloaded or new carsets but I would advise keeping it in the
original carset directory.   BTW you MUST keep the original carset
directory CARS94  and files otherwise the game will not run.
