This set includes 57 cars from the MARC (ARCA) Series circa 1954-1956. This set includes ratings - I wanted to rate the cars in such
a way that created a racing environment similar to how the series ran back then. There are several front runners, some mid-packers
and also some backmarkers. Please feel free to tweak the ratings to your own liking.
This set does not include every driver from this era, but it does include drivers who did a majority, or a portion of the schedule.
Just a note on the paints included in this carset... Some of these cars are incredibly accurate, some of these cars are 'somewhat
accurate' and some are 'not very accurate at all'. There were VERY VERY FEW reference photos or videos of this series during this
time period, so I was incredibly limited on resources. In some cases, I had multiple photos or screen captures of certain cars, but
in most cases the only information I had was 'Driver Name', 'Car Number' and 'Car Make' - and even further, only just the driver's
name.
Another note, there was a considerable amount of 'driver swapping' going on back then, some drivers would race one car for some
races, another car for other races, etc. I didn't want to muddy the waters by including multiple drivers per car. There are a
handful of duplications - for example Kenny Wheeler drove his #32 for most of the season, while Harold Smith drove his car for a few
races. I've included both drivers. Another mainstay in this series was the X-100 car, driven by numerous drivers through the season,
however I figured it'd be easier to just assign one driver to keep it simple. There is a second 'driverless' version of this car and
you're free to assign whomever you'd like to drive it, or use as a player car.
I have used the Pit Crews from MartinRace and JeBrown's carsets as they are simply the best, most accurate pit crews for this era of
racing. I genuinely appreciate their hard work and thank them for their contributions.
I again want to thank MartinRace and JeBrown for creating the templates for this mod, as without their hard work and dedication this
carset would simply not be possible. THANK YOU!
