2010 marks the 15th anniversary of Miskatonic Motorsports and all this year, I'll be using special paints to mark the occasion with a silver base instead of my usual black.
The first of these cars has been posted to the PORRS09 folder of the downloads section. The filename is Miska_77.zip. Simply extract it to the P2/Courage/Miska Mazda folder and overwrite the original. No other changes are necessary.
All my thanks to my teammates and competitors over the years. You've all added a lot of fun to my life and I look forward to many more years ahead.

Tried getting into the download area but I don't have access yet. Is there another way I can get your new paints Paul? Thanks.

I was just wondering............how long I've been in this madness. I started racing online with TPTCC when we were running Nascar 2 sedans. Anyone remember ?

I'm pretty sure it must be earlier than that. I think I got Indycar in 88 or 89 and Nascar came out shortly after. I never raced any Nascar 1 online that I remember but as soon as I discovered TPTCC using N2 I started racing online. You'd think that after all that experience I'd get better.
I did do some offline racing with N1 with Michael Heymans in ESRL.
Gawd am I that old ?

I almost forgot. I raced some Indycar GTP patch in another offline league. I think that's where I met up with Terry.
I know that I painted some cars for Terry and Jake Meyers in the old TPTCC N2 online racing series.
That was when I received a "cease and desist" from the MOMO corportation. They said I could use their livery but couldn't use "Team MOMO" so I used the name "Team NOMO" until I found out that they had no copyright for Team MOMO. Now I suppose I have the rights to that name. Hmmm. wonder if Moretti will be contacting me some day :-)

I ran an offline league for some game -- World Circuit? -- on Compuserve in the late 80s or early 90s. It's a little hazy but I remember that a guy who went by "Psycho" won just about everything. Never got any grief from paint jobs I did but I've always done fantasy stuff.

I had World Circuit too. But they had no paint jobs. Just mono painted shapes running around. I think that World Circuit 2 had paint schemes but I didn't know how to paint them back then.
My first encounter with sim racing was a f1 sim that had four cars to choose from and eight circuits. Almost no graphics. I remember that I bought my first computer and made sure that the keyboard had the up/down/left/right keys were laid out so I could drive better. Wow was that a blast from the past.

Back then, you didn't have graphics, you had imagination. I had an absolute blast with that game and still remember one battle I had with Gerhard Berger -- I'd made some mistake early but caught back up and lost it in the final corner when I outbraked myself.
Remember that to play the game, you had to type in some word from the manual as the password: "What is the first word in the third line on page 6?"
