If NASCAR 2003 Season still reigns what "mods" and patches do I need to be
up to date?
Any advice appreciated.

That seems to be the bulk (including NR2003) of racing sims discussed at
this moment here on r.a.s. With GPL of course, which still remains the
oldie that we all respect beyond recognition.
Papyrus has released patches which gives us the addition of Craftman Trucks,
Busch Grand National and a "Trans-am" type physics to the game. This has
basically created two major addition to NR2003, which are TPTCC
http://www.tptcc.com/ and PTA

No, Papy has not. These are Project Wildfire (PWF) mods which also include
the IROC series, and now there's an Aero88 mod which gives us actual 1988
bodies using the CTS physics, an open wheel (OWR) mod, and a CASCAR mod
(using the GNS physics).

They did.
Not an essential mod.

So no - in my view all Papy did was lay the groundwork for the physics in
there...it took OTHER 3rd party stuff to really "get out".
Says you. I say the TA mods aren't essential - mainly because I have no
interest in running those cars. So I guess it's a matter of opinion as to
which mod is "essential".
Yes, we would have access to the physics (which you can associate with any
kind of graphical rendition of a vehicule, like the aero88 mod per example).
Everything else wasn't necessary to a "mod". It was pure candy, that's all.
That's what PWF and the Pits TA mod gave us. Eye-candy to associate the
physics that Papyrus gave us. PWF Trans-Ams or TPTCC Trans-Ams, they are
absolutely the same physics. Just the eye-candy that was modified.
The Papy physics unlock a TRANS-AM TYPE set of physics. Not a 1988 Winston
Cup one. Fact is, the TA gives us a fair accurate graphical rendition of
the physics that Papyrus gave us in the patch.
<yawn>
This is pointless.
Again.

Let me see if I follow here...
Aero88 has no merit because it uses "pretend" physics given what is being
represented, whereas PWF's T/A Mod uses physics which are admittedly by
Papyrus rather loose in their interpretation (and not really intended as
Trans-Am, but an amalgam of various top-level series around the world).
(6-speeds being but one example.) Not to mention I've yet to see a Viper
Competition Coupe in Trans-Am. ;-)
Sounds kinda similar to me. Two mods making the most of what they have to
work with.

I never said it didn't, and figured it obvious enough to not need to state.
Just pointing out that Frank's T/A mods are barely better grounded in
reality than Aero88.
