Changelog

SIM

Paint Kit

• All cars that have never been painted by a user, including new purchases, will now automatically have the user’s helmet color scheme applied to them along with a random pattern and a random set of sponsors. The helmet color scheme will also be applied to the user’s suit if it has never been painted.

Dirt Sprint Car – Non-Winged

• NEW CAR!
  – – While some organizations – most notably the World of Outlaws – have gone the route of winged sprint cars, the United States Auto Club (USAC) has remained faithful to the traditional, non-winged sprint cars that have served as the bedrock of grassroots open wheel racing since World War II. This is the Dirt Sprint Car you know and love, but without the stabilizing wings. This classic dirt car is guaranteed to provide even the most experienced dirt racers with a truly challenging and exciting racing experience.
  – – There are two classes of this vehicle available, both of which are included when purchasing this new vehicle. The classes are:
  – – – Dirt Sprint Car – Non-Winged – 360 C.I.D. engine (Based on the USAC 360 West Coast Sprint Car)
  – – – Dirt Sprint Car – Non-Winged – 410 C.I.D. engine (Based on the USAC 410 Sprint Car)
