I recently downloaded a track based on Watkins Glen where the race was
backwards.  The cars where facing the right way, but went
counter-clockwise around the track rather than clockwise.  If anyone has
information on how to do this, please let me know.  I've already check
at BB&B tracks, the Pits, and haven't found anything.

Thanks

If facing the "right way" but went counter-clockwise, did they race in
reverse?!!

NO!  It is a track called Wexford Downs that I downloaded from somewhere.  I
think the track is a converted ICR 2 track and not Watkins Glen like I had
previously thought.  The cars are racing facing forwards, but are racing in
the opposite direction on the track.  The AI cars and my car are timed and
everything.  It is like a normal track.  Is there any way to do this?  Do you
have to edit the LP files in the track directory with a program like Telemetry
or something like that?  Any help would be nice and please keep the wisecracks
to a dull roar.  Thanks.

The before mentioned track is from the US Pits site. . . .

Wexford is Detroit, from ICR2, run backwards but with a twist:  the track is
twice as big in width and length

Sorry....I thought you may have been a bit confused, which, in turn, was
confusing me, about whether the cars were actually facing in the correct
direction (whatever that might be at Wexford Downs) but actually racing in
*reverse*.
