Project: Short Track Full Archive Now Available

Project: Short Track is a fantastic project with J.R. Franklin at the helm. Over the past 20 years, J.R. and a mighty team of contributors have created the absolute best in short tracks from all over.

PST has now found a new home here and I thank J.R. for making the transition to getting his entire archive available as easy as it was. You can now download all 72 of the tracks at your leisure.

J.R. doesn’t make as many tracks as he used to, but he is indeed still at it. The depths of detail the latest projects have taken have only expanded the incredible quality. As we all know, NR2003 has some limitations, but J.R. always finds new ways to manipulate them to do what he needs.

If you’d like to grab any PST tracks now, you may do so from the Tracks page, or click here if you’re a bag of lazy bones.

Cynon Tracks Page (by Ian Cooper)

Ian Cooper, better known to the NR2003 community as Cynon, is a long standing community member with excellent skill in track building & design. He is also a great 3DO artist who creates some of the most unique stuff you’ll ever see in this simulator.

Cynon’s full track list is now available here. If you’re looking for something familiar, all the way to something you’d least expect, look no further. you can find his full track archive by clicking here or from under the ‘Tracks’ header at the top of this page.

Additionally, Cynon has become the new host for the NR2K3Tracks.com page, taking over the duties from longtime host J.R. Franklin. Congrats to Ian and high hopes for the future of that very long standing site. It has been around for us in the community since the 1990s.

Stunod Stays Open!

After some soul searching, Stunod has decided to keep their doors open with some changes. Good news for the community and glad to see they will keep things going over there.

In the meantime here, efforts to preserve and make things easy to find and obtainable continue. Happy racing, everyone!

Regarding The Stunod Racing Closing

For those who haven’t heard, Stunod Racing is officially closing down their site as of February 17, 2025. With that they intend to move to Discord where all their resources will continue to exist.

While this is bummer news, it is nothing new for this community. Or any community behind any sim or game with a long lasting fanbase. While we have lost some of the longer lasting sites pretty consecutively in the last couple years, it is important to remember that this isn’t the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. And despite that, the community lives on, it thrives, and continues to create great new things. We still have new mods, we still have new carsets, we still have new tracks, and they’re being released all the time.

When a larger site goes down, it can be easy to think “The community is dying.” This is not true. For those of us who keep resource sites like these up, it’s important to remember that the 10-20 of us who do are not representative the entire community when a site goes dark. If 3 to 5 of us shut sites down, it can be a rough, but from those ashes new sites arrive, and things continue on as they always have. File sharing is also easier than it’s ever been.

I hosted my first resource site for Papyrus based sims in 1996 with NASCAR Racing 2. A number of years later, in 2012, I started this one. And I plan to keep this one alive for many years to come. And that goes for many of the other sites that continue to thrive. And new sites will appear as new resource hubs along the way. Just like they always have.

If you’re looking for something just like Stunod is today, Make sure to check out the very excellent Armory Digital Racing Designs. That site, run by Mystical, will feel very familiar to those who have been using Stunod to post their stuff all these years.

With that said, take a breath, save the files you want to save, and don’t fear. We’re all gonna be just fine. If you are looking for a home for your carsets (I can’t do individual cars), tracks, mods, tools, utilities, you also have a home here.

NR2003 Links List Updated!

I’ve updated the list of links with all the websites I know still exist. This list is quite healthy in size, too! It’s been 20+ years and the sim continues to have a strong and active base of racers and creators.

If you have a site that I may have omitted, please feel free to contact me and let me know! – Bill

NNC06, NNC07, & NNS08 (or NWS08) Mod/Carsets & More Now Available!

The NNC07 mod is now available! Along with the NNC07 mod, the NNC06 & NNS08 mods are also available. As well the templates (in 1024 & 2048 resolution) are available, car viewer files, render scenes, and a number of carsets for both the Nextel Cup series & Busch/Nationwide Series.

This mod had a bit of a short life at the time of its creation due to the Car of Tomorrow release coming so shortly thereafter. However, the mod still had plenty of love, especially when it came to the Busch/Nationwide series.

To get the mod(s)/templates/scenes now, you can find them by clicking here.

To get one or all of the carsets, you can find them by clicking here.

WinstonCup98 & GNS Mods/Carsets Now Available

The first ever mod created by Cosmin & Splash n’ Go Graphics was the WinstonCup98 mod. If you’re looking to fill that mid to late 90’s history and race with some of the greats of the time, look no further. The WinstonCup98 mod and GNS98 mod is the perfect mod for years 1995 through 1999. Along with the mod/templates & more, there are also Winston Cup carsets available from 1995 to 1999. Along with that is also an expanded 1998 BGN carset. And if that doesn’t fill your needs, there’s also a few fictional sets available, as well.

New 1993 & 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix Template

Chris (CC#48) has created a new Pontiac template for the 1993 & 1994 style Grand Prixs for the Cup90 mod. However, note that this template is meant for the Thunderbird body, allowing Chris to take advantage of a flatter nose and a few other tidbits unavailable with the original Pontiac body. This is a high resolution template (2048) and can be downloaded now from the Cup90 Mod/Template/Scene page.

Shared Folder Links Corrected

I’d noticed some download attempts for the Revamped Reloaded Shared folder updates that were pointing toward dead links. I wasn’t sure where the links were coming from, but I figured it out! If you were attempting to download the Shared Folders from the ‘How to Install NR2003 in 2024’ guide page, those links have now been updated and are back to working. My apologies! I knew I was bound to have missed at least a few links during the great link migration of last week! -Bill
