Does anybody know if it is possible to make it so you drive a pace car? Thanks, Dave

If you want to have working lights etc.. I severly doubt it. I remember reading that the pace car is in the cars.dat file (?) and that it could be re-painted. However, the panels are a different shape from the player (and racing) cars, so you'd have to do some work. After all, there's nothing stoping you painting your own or converting one of those "Street Cars" that I've seen posted here? I'd be interested to know otherwise, but I think what you want is just not possible... Jon Guildford, UK http://www.meganet.co.uk/~pegasus/nascar2/

If it's anything like N1 or ICR2, then using the pace car as the primary model would cause all the AI to use same, and the paint all matches as well...kinda' hard to know who you passed when pacecar-a looks just like pacecar-b, pacecar-c, etc. Cheers! Marc
