Does anyone please have, or know of the availability, of a 1993-season
carset for IndyCar racing II?

I'm just rediscovering the delights of this sim (running in pseudo-DOS on
WINXP) and would like to incorporate the 1993 season, which featured Nigel
Mansell.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Bruce.

My public thanks to Chris for providing this set.
Armed with my trusty Gravis Analogue Pro, I am reliving 1994! :)

   The Nigel/Mario cars had the best color matching of any of the many
Havoline cars.  The red sidepods/white body worked well.  The all black
cars of Michael Andretti and DeMatta were, I thought, the worst looking of
all the Newman/Haas Havoline/Texico cars, until that is...I saw this year's
Pacific Care scheme for Bruno.

Wasn't the red sidepod/white tub car Tracy's '95 Budweiser car?

   I am much to foggy to remember,  I think back to the original ICR box
cover...a Lola at Longbeach.  I guess that would be Mario.   So 93ish the
Newman\Haas cars were Havoline white/REd...then when NIgel left they
became Havoline with white/Black.  Tracey took over for Mario correct?  
When Michael Andretti became the lead driver he drove an all black Texaco
and then Dematta took over and kept the black.
   I've got too many new mods to sort thru and league practice to really
dig into this...:)

   White cars with red and or blue trim always caught my eye.  The BTCC
Nissans of the 90's, the Valvoline Cup car of Mark Martin(based on Robbie
Gordon's champ car paint scheme)  The British BMW  in the ETCC and the
RMR Lola prototype...
    Monochrome cars really don't jump out when viewed on a TV.  The
Silver Visteons and Audi's suffered from 'one color' blandness.  Finally
Visteon cars got some Orange to compliment the silver.  The White
Champion Audi Lmp car easily stands out when compared to factory Audi's.  
Even the gorgeous Purple fade of the Velox Audis can't compare when
viewed thru a TV.. I suspect the Velox paint looks stunning in person but
on the screen, rather boring.

Well, the 1993 Havoline cars of Mario and Nigel had white upperworks and
BLACK sidepods, not red.
Unless the photos I'm now looking at (1993 Indy 500) are incorrect.

  I found a few of 1991 and those still had the black sidepods.  Hmmm  I
wonder if that concussion in high school has affected me memory.  :0
