Yep. I'd suggest a lot more people know about GTS.exe now, I know I didn't.
With the way files get distributed around the Net I wouldn't mind betting it
will get more widely available than ever.

Seems a curious thing to do splashing this stuff on their website. The only
thing produced so far is an action against the sim community. Hardly seems
the sort of thing to publicise on their brand web site. I'd have considered
it best leave it to the lawyers in the background and make public statements
only if they really have to.

What a nice way to alienate the sim community. When Nascar 2003 came out it
was ok to make mods, now it's not? Well I can can say for myself that
whatever their efforts are from here on in on whatever project they make
they can stuff it. As much as I hate to to say this, and I thought I never
would, I'll give my money freely to EA. I'd rather support a game that can
be freely modded than to support some company that would rather take the
community to court. We take our sim racing seriously as well but we also can
put our MONEY where we want. I sure hope that the modding community can turn
EA's Nascar Simracing into one helluva racing game.

They've rather cunningly trademarked the Euro symbol too...

Exactly. Why publicize it ? Word of mouth would work just fine,
deterance-wise.

Plonker.

Nothing wrong with making mods BClay as long as you do not alter the
N2003.exe file. The CTS, BGN, T/A, Aero88 mods do not alter the original
N2003 file. I don't know about the Sprint, OWR, and other mods as I've never
tried using them.
