Here's the way:
1. Change NUMTIRES (please elaborate on what these lines' titles are
really) in DRIVERS2.txt to whatever number you want, add the tire brand,
and create the tire logos with a MIP editor.
2. Change NUMCHASIS or NUMCHASS (whatever it is) to 4 or whatever, then
add the chasis brand (e.g. Swift, Eagle).
3. Change NUMENGINES or whatever it is to 4 or how many you want, and add
the engines (e.g. Toyota).
4. Edit the info with 2 being the third option, 3 being the fourth option,
4 being the fifth option and so on.
5. Save DRIVERS2.TXT.
6. Make Drivers2.txt read only and now ICR2 can't change it back to the
original chasis/tire/engine combo!! So now you can drive a Swift like
Mikey, make the 97 PPG car sets more accurate, try to impersonate P.J. in
a Toyota-Eagle, or try Dunlop tires.
Note: Since Drivers2.txt is read-only you have to make it writable before
editing it and read-only after.
Another Note: To those with 1997 PPG CART carsets, like D. Pruzin, Earl
Ma, or Michael Carver, this is a useful utility!!
P.S. The Read-only was not discovered by me, but by Marcelo Bassino who
first used it to make sure his IRL carset did not revert to the CART95
combos.

This has been known for some time now. However, after you exit ICR2,
the new settings are thrown out of the drivers2.txt file and ICR2 resets
itself to a Reynard/Honda combo.
Never mind, I guess I forgot about the read-only setting. Sorry.
Not to mention that if you leave it as read-only so that ICR2 does not
reset, you'll get an error message to that effect every time you go to
Driver Info, and that is precisely why I have not implemented that.
