You can now purchase and race F1 and Nascar vehicles. In order to purchase an F1 or Nascar vehicle, you must attain an International B (IB) license.
To enter and compete in F1 and Nascar races, the vehicle MUST BE set as a team car. F1 and Nascar vehicles can only compete in F1 and Nascar events.
You cannot "tune-up" your F1 or Nascar vehicle as reliability diminishes. You must sell it and build a new one.
You can now pick up F1 and Nascar sponsors, however, you must have your IB license in order to target them for sponsorship.
08-12-2006 - The following updates and changes have been made:
All Nira Competitions have been changed to reflect the Circuit Racing Style.
This means that instead of having the Nira Competitions fill up right when the previous race ends
with multiple accounts and bots, it will give everybody with the fastest cars a chance to race and enter.
What will happen now is entry to all the races will be open to all racers until race time, however; only the top 16
fastest cars will compete in the competition when the time arrives.
This should remove almost all cheaters and multiple account abusers in the game and make the game fair for all players to play!
Good Luck!
