Original1963 Grand National Mod by

SimBin for GT Legends (from where I took the driver/helmet and various parts for the cockpit)

KittX for the custom showroom

drEdOp for his help and support and sounds from his mod wherever theyre from.

Physics are from drEdOp's 69_70 mod slightly modified to match 1963 specs better.

drEdOp's words still apply to this mod so ill just quote him.

"If you ever played NR2003 then you know that the models are low poly (and also the
damage model).
All cars share the same physics, engine, tires etc. (and also the same cockpit).
One thing I'm not good at all is physics and the extra fact that I'm playing using
only the keyboard forces me into a more "arcadish" physics. Another thing that is
obvious I don't know a thing about is FFB settings. So please don't blame me about
these.

2 different engines, one for road courses and short ovals (up to 265 Kmh), and a more powerful
one for speedways and superspeedways (up to 310 Kmh).
It can be selected through the upgrades tab, but the best way is through the TrackConfigsBase.ini
in the mods folder so it can be automatically loaded everytime you select a track.
3 slightly different tires. The default one for roadcourses, one for (super)speedways with less
heating, and one for short ovals with more less heating.
The tires are also automatically selected with the track's entry in the .ini file.
Everything else regarding the physics is the same on every track, either roadcourse, short
oval or speedway."



If you are a fan of high poly models, real world physics, historical accuracy etc
then please look somewhere else and don't bother reading the rest of this thread.
This is not a mod, this is pure NR2003 nostalgia.
Thank you.

I'm interested in real world physics and historical accuracy and am interested in making the physics realistic and unique for each car.

"All cars share the same physics, engine, tires etc. (and also the same cockpit)" - Were the N03 cockpits unable to convert? I know a lot of work went into making them different. It would be nice if they could make their way into the rFactor conversion.

"Physics are from drEdOp's 69_70 mod slightly modified to match 1963 specs better" - What is the 69-70 mod and where can I get it?

Does anybody here know how to convert N03 tracks? I might be able to figure it out, in time, but right now I'm working on physics a lot. I've got quite a few N03 1960 and 1970's tracks I'd like to see in rFactor.

Who do you ask for permission before converting an N03 mod to rFactor?

Is there a way to take individual cars from different mods and put them into one mod? I'd like to see all the street rods, race cars and muscle cars all together in 1 mod, with the goal of being that you start with a stock car from the dealership and can build it up until it's a cage, shell and racing motor doing 200 at Talladega. :-)

How to get the mod to work? It starts with Petty's car selected and trying to change cars crashes the game.
