=========NASCAR Sim Series 4.0=========

Freedom MotorSports is proud to announce the final release of the NSS (NascarSimSeries) CUP mod. All tires are built specifically for use with the New JNS07 tracks and we recommend using them for the most accurate physics feel and lap times. Future multi-groove JNS07 tracks will have the NSS tires incorporated in the download from the official JNS website. http://www.jnstracks.net/home/download.php?list.33

NASCAR SIM SERIES MOD FEATURES:

1: Realistic physics for the NASCAR and 2008 season.
2: Realistic Paint Schemes for drivers and teams for the 2007/08 cup series season.
3: Four Levels of Detail For Good FPS Performance. This is probably the best fps stockcar mod for rFactor.
4: Forced chassis and tires types upgrade for all JNS and TPSCC tracks.
5: NEW Base car setups incuded for all JNS 2007 tracks, found in your UserData folder.
