If anyone is planning on installing GTP, you may want to do an install over
a clean version on N 2003. I tried to install it with the other mods and it
didn;'t react well at all.

I, being a lazy sot and not liking to be told what to do, did the
opposite. I installed over my working nr2k3 with tptcc, Ferrari 330 and
PWF and Busch mods and guess what...? It works and so far the tptcc mod
works too. (I haven't tested the others)
I would recomend tho...that you all follow Redline's advice and do a
clean install. Better safe than sorry eh?

Sure you can and THAT is the recomended method. Acording to the readme,
GTP likes a nice clean version of Nr2k3 to play with.

I installed to my existing N2003 install, and now both GTP and N2003 shut
down after about a minute of driving.
I was lazy.

I'm not wiping out my NR2003 install just for GTP. It takes too damned long
to build back up.

You don't have to. Just reinstall N2K3 using the setup.exe on the CD and DO
NOT INSTALL to the default directory (or whereever your original N2K3 is),
but to, for example C:Papyrus\NASCAR 2003 GTP, patch this install and use it
for the GTP install. Works without any problems here, I have in fact 4
different N2K3 installs on my HD.

While I do appreciate the fact that the creators of GTP very likely
had good reason to insist on a fresh install, I had seen a couple of
people claim to have done the install into their old N2K3 folders
without incident, and that's just like waving a red flag in front of
a bull: I HAD to try it. (As I saw, I did take precautions.)

Did a fresh secondary install of NR2003, updated, and installed GTP 1.1. No
issues.
Pay attention to what you're doing though. There are ample places along the
way to make yourself feel stupid :)
I do laugh at the total lack of imagination these guys had though. Car A,
B, C and D ? Paleeease! At LEAST they could have come up with ficticious
names like:
Car-X (Think About it)
Humzda
Porscht
Cadiludicrous STS
And what's up with the Neutered version of Watkins Glen?
I sure hope they got a $50 rebate from the State Department Of Animal
Control for this Neuter-Job.
At least we can have any car color we want, as long as it's Green, Black or
Silver LOL
