It's this time of the year that the whole world (I think) turns to Indianapolis again for the Indianapolis 500. After Kakukri pointed me out we are somewhere close to the 500th IIRS race I started counting, re-counting and then came to the conclusion that this year's Indianapolis 500 will be the 500th IIRS race!!

For this reason alone we have decided to turn the event into a 200 lap race. You are all invited to run and we hope to have a field just a big as the real race. Settings are being worked on, but will be posted on the IIRS site later today. For those who want to participate and want to start testing and training right away:

Have fun and enjoy yourself

If you join in on the race, please provide us with a painted car.

The cars will end up in the 500th IIRS race carset.

Just some minor corrections:
- it was actually gugland who pointed out we are close to 500
- the carset in the linked thread is actually called Indy2K8, not ICS2k8.

At least I got the link right.

OK, let me be the first.

Here is the car that I will be running at Indy and all of the oval races this year.

Please note that I did not paint this car, it is the player's car from the Indy06 car set.

I just changed the number from 95 to 56, that's about the extent of my painting skills.

Lol, how I can relate!

OK, here is my car, I paint it based in a old Franchitti`s Car, is not the best work because i don`t have photoshop talents, ja ja ja

       

If you want me to update a bit let me know.

So far I got some 8 cars now.

I got some questions from people whether we will use the track Pavel has uploaded today. That is not the case (at least not this year)

And this is the car I will run and have been running all these years since 2003.
