Press Release: Sunday, 11 February, 1996 THE IWCCCARS PROJECT Contact: Tony Johns FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CARS96 FIRST OFFICIAL UPDATE, TEMPLATE PACKAGE RELEASED PROVO, UTAH (Release date: Sunday, 11 February, 1996) -- Following ESPN's unprecedented coverage of Speedweeks, the IWCCCARS Project has released its first official version of CARS96. Prerelease versions have been made available, but thanks to television the cars have all been updated to reflect their actual 1996 paint. Included in the new release are the #8 Circuit City Ford, the #87 Burger King Chevrolet, and the #1 Hooters Pontiac, as well as major updates and tweaks to almost all of the other cars. We hope you enjoy the cars! IWCCCARS has added a new .ZIP archive to its list of car sets, but this one only contains four .PCX files. The archive is called TEMPLATE.ZIP, and it includes three blank cars (one Ford, one Chevy, and one Pontiac) and a new SCICONB.PCX file for the Paintkit with updated nose pieces for the 1996 cars. The purpose of this set is to allow sim racers access to a blank car with all the shading and detailing done so that they can develop their own designs more realistically. We hope this adds to your enjoyment not only of NASCAR but of the paintkit as well! Thanks to team members Pat Campbell and Denny Hoffman for the specs for these templates. Plans for the IWCCCARS 'carsets' mailing list have been delayed, thanks to a problem at our service provider with the new SmartList mailing software. The list will be activated once our network administrators solve their problems.
