No worries. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I made good progress with the Escort. I revised its brake lights, replaced the driver, and I'm almost done with the last tweaks. It's a pretty cool car. The more I work with these Group 5 cars, the more I like them.

Version 1.0 of the Escort Mk I has been uploaded. They are minor but nice improvements I think.
I am not sure what's next. I think I'll look around and see what I haven't finished and try to wrap one of those up.

While taking a short brake between cars, I thought I would try to straighten out the Celica's brake lights. I took the BLs from the Aston, which came from the Escort MkII, and transplanted them to the Celica and, sure enough, instant CTDs. I have concluded that the problem lies elsewhere - one of the car's other meshes is causing a conflict. Those brake lights have been transplanted into two other cars and also worked fine with a third so they are verified to be OK. This is going to be a long and painful process but I will fix this car, damnit!!!

I have changed my mind - I found a different car to do next. The Mazda RX-7 LM by BLT. It's their latest release.

I finally managed to fix the Celica. The problem turned out to be in the headlight lense meshes. Now that it's fixed, v1.0 of the Celica has been uploaded. This is a bigger file than the previous one because I included the sounds that orginally came with the car. I noticed the Celica was not on the list of cars in the mod (in the first post of this thread) so I added it. This means there are now 22 cars in the mod. Now, on to that new Mazda.

The new Mazda RX-7 253i LM from BLT has been uploaded. This was one of the easiest and quickest car to convert of the entire bunch. It has just one wheel style, one body style, and three skins. It uses the same sounds as the 'standard' RX-7 so you have to install that car to get sounds for this one. This is car number 23 in the set.

I also uploaded a set of low poly wheels for the Escort MkI. You can see them in action in the previous shot. The downside of these is the tires say "Dunlop" on them while several of the cars have GoodYear decals on them. The good side is each wheel uses roughly 100KB of memory instead of the 1MB that high detail wheels use. As the screen shot illustrates, they look pretty good and I'll take the memory savings every chance I can get.
In the archive for these wheels you will see two subdirectories underneath Ford_Escort_MkI. They are lowWheels and highWheels. Each one contains a .gen file that uses the respective type of wheel. This will allow you to easily switch between them and compare for yourself.

You are very welcome !
I have been working on another Division II car and during testing with those I was reminded of a problem with the Fiat 131's driver helmet.
I copied over the helmet from the Aston and tweaked it so that problem is now fixed. The patch for this has been uploaded.

These Division II cars are really fun to race with. There are twelve different car models to race with and others can be added easily. I like to add in the Fiat X1/9 and other cars. Here are some shots of some recent racing :
