! CCG NASCAR2 AI Project has MOVED!

Thanks to The Sim Project and Marc Nelson, CCG NASCAR2 AI Project has a
new home!  Our new URL is:
        http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Now that we have a new home, we need to get some new AI out there. ;-)

For those who may not be familiar with CCG NASCAR2 AI Project, here is a
copy of our original Announcement:

        ANNOUNCEMENT!   ANNOUNCEMENT!   ANNOUNCEMENT!

We are proud to announce the availability of Artificial Intelligence
enhancements for Papyrus/Sierra's NASCAR Racing 2!  The CCG NASCAR2 AI
Project has 6 enhanced AI's for NASCAR2, with more coming.  Currently we
have produced enhanced AI for the following tracks:

        Talladega
        Martinsville
        Bristol
        Michigan
        Darlington
        C***te

Our goal is to reproduce as faithfully as possible the experience of
racing against and with Winston Cup drivers.  These enhanced AI's are
not just minor tweaks.  We have provided new racing grooves and
realistic speeds.  Our aim is to put "Intelligence" back into AI!

While a few of the tracks above still have their rough spots with the
AI, we are sure you will enjoy racing in NASCAR2 against our new AI.  

For full information and files, point your browser to the Official
CCG NASCAR2 AI Project site:  http://www.racesimcentral.net/

But, don't stop there!!!!   Throughout our testing we have discovered
that the Driver Skills numbers are VERY important.  We have tested our
enhanced AI against all of the driver skills numbers we could find.  If
you want to get the full experience of our enhanced AI, it is highly
suggested that you use our Driver Skills numbers.  While, Jon is still
working on "fine tuning" our numbers, we have found that without our
numbers you may only experience 30-40% of the enhanced AI experience.

You can download our Driver Skills numbers at
ftp://ftp.teleport.com/users/mcarver/AutoSim/ccg_ai10.zip
The file format requires the excellent program from IWCCCARS called N2
Starting Grid.  If you do not have this program, please read the
included README.TXT file for information on downloading this program.

[Special thanks to Jon Guest for designing The CCG NASCAR2 AI Project
web site!  We also wish to thank our beta testers (Andre, Joe, L.C., and
the Hawg).  This project would not have been possible except for the
many who have contributed to the Simulated Auto Racing community.  Many
thanks to all who have contributed to furthering our enjoyment of
simulated racting!]

Now go racing!!!!!!
