TOPIC:

I just wanted to thank everyone who has made files available for download on this site. I am an offline racer thanks to my low-speed connection (I live out in the sticks and satellite is way too expensive). I have had a lot of fun racing the custom tracks and designing new series.

I am mainly into sprint cars. I use a "WoO Sprint Cars" chassis that Matthew Schelk uploaded on Blackhole Motorsports. I designed my own sprint car series and painted sixty custom skins for it. My skill at painting sprint car skins improved dramatically through this project, and I may upload some sprint skins if anyone is interested.

If anyone has recommendations for add-ons that are cool in offline mode, I would love to hear them. Thanks again for putting together an awesome site and keeping DTR2 alive.

Thanks chzbrgr...to be honest for racing online you would be better off with dial-up over Satellite anyway. I heard satellite internet will put your ping at like 9999 so that's not good. Thanks for your comments, yeah you should upload the Sprint Skins sometime if ya want, that's what it's there for. There are some good tracks for offline use you can download. Some the AI is off but you just have to try em out, pretty much all of the DW tracks that work offline have good competitive AI, and a few of the ones from VLR Trax do as well, along with BLS Tracks. As far as chassis, pretty much all of them that are posted are great, BLS have made the best ones in my opinion, though, so check some of them out, too. Thanks for stopping in and please continue to post here.

Hope you enjoy your stay, this site has to be the best for DTR2. I will be uploading a newer sprintcar Aussie chassis soon for you.

Stay tuned

What type of sprintcar skins have you made? Are they real drivers? How many?
I have made about 250+ they are all of Aussie sprintcar racers and was looking for some American racers.

Here's what I'm gonna do...divide up the skins section in the downloads to be more specific as to what skins each person is downloading such as default lates, gen 3, sprint etc...

My sprint skins are for a WoO Sprint Cars chassis I download on BHmotorsports. I just uploaded the chassis to this site to share.

I made the skins for a custom series using my friends names and sponsors that would apply to them. For example, I painted a Papa John's Pizza skin for a former roommate who worked as a delivery driver. I like Tabasco sauce, so I painted a Tabasco car. Some of the skins are more tongue-in-cheek. We tease one of our friends about being diabetic (in a funny rather than cruel way), so I painted a Liberty Medical car in his honor.

I uploaded a pack of the first five I made. I will continue uploading more if anyone is interested. I also have a template for painting sprint car skins that has come in quite handy.

I have about 30 actual World of Outlaws skins if anyone is interested in those. I did not paint them, but I downloaded them from another site and they all work well. That would give you the authentic American sprint cars you are looking for.

Could you upload the world of outlaws skins if you haven't already.

I just uploaded 18 World of Outlaws skins. I had to split them up into packs of six because that is about all my craptastic internet connection will allow me to upload at a time. If someone wants to download the skins and consolidate them into one file, that might help everyone keep things straight.

I found about 25 more skins from various American sprint car drivers that I will upload this afternoon. It has been really fun looking over some skins I don't play with much anymore.

The World of Outlaw skins are uploaded under the name "WoO Sprint Car skins" and the additional skins will be labeled "Sprint Car Skins." Once again, credit Matthew Schelk and Manndrake from BHmotorsports for sharing these originally. All I did was download them and save them several months ago.

I'm going to go divide the skin category into sections chzbrgr so look for them in a minute before you upload your latest skins if you haven't already

10-4. I will hold off on uploads until you are done.

I have uploaded a total of 53 real driver skins and 18 fictional sprint car skins for the WoO Sprint Cars chassis.

Unfortunately for William, I could not find one for his countryman Brooke Tatnell on my hard drive. I could have sworn I had a Tatnell skin at one time.

Anyway, the sprint car skins are up for whoever wants them. I hope my custom skins do not look like total crap. I am just getting in to skin painting and have noticed that I pretty much suck compared to some of the veterans out there.

I would really like to know if anyone has some Australian sprint car skins they could upload. I have an idea for an offline series that would pit 30 American drivers against 30 Aussies with the schedule split between the two countries. It would be fun to tweak the A.I. to the point where it created a difficult offline series that spans two continents.
