After two years of inactivity, the process of updating the NR2003 Encyclopedia in time for the 2020 off-season has been completed.
NR2003 Mods and Add-ons. Most of these mods are not hosted @ RTG We are just providing links to where to download them. But if a site goes down we will host any mod listed here.

A project like this is virtually impossible to maintain on a weekly or monthly basis when the goal is to offer everything in about ten or twelve giant packs for easy downloading, as just one new carset would necessitate an entire re-pack of a RAR file several gigabytes in size and that obviously gets tedious to maintain. It’s one of those things I’ll come back to every year or so, if that.
Also impossible is compiling a list of credits. When it comes to painting a car for NR2003, as many as five or six people might contribute to a single car in some fashion – from the base schemes, driver suits, contingencies, and obscure decals, to the car’s in-game ratings. Tracking down every single person who’s helped on every single car – including cars created some seventeen years ago – and manually asking them for permission to include just one car in a 5-10gb pack that may realistically never see track time if a person downloads it, is not even remotely feasible. To offset the hard feelings that may arise, each page has a comments section open to all users (regardless of whether you’re registered or not) so you can leave replies, point out your work, and link to your website.
To the community, I simply say thank you. Papyrus built a great racing game. You turned it into a time capsule.
What’s New:
– 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 carsets for Cup, Grand National, Truck, ARCA, and K&N Series. 2017, 2018, and 2019 sets for Pinty’s. 2017 and 2019 sets for Whelen Euro Series.
– The 2020 Truck Series set has everything up to and including the Talladega pack on Stunod
– The 2020 Xfinity Series set has everything up to and including Sammy’s 2nd pack on Stunod
– New Mods: Pintys, SnG03-05, IROC ’75, N4, N2002, and ICR are among the many new mods featured, with several carsets for each. They can be found as part of the downloads in their respective categories. Every major mod released for NR2003 since 2018 is included.
– Preserving N4 and N2002: The release of the N4 and N2002 mods has allowed me to include several carsets released for those respective games. TeamSBR would continue to paint cars for N4/2002 well after the release of NR2003, spanning from 2002 to 2007; those have been included. I’ve also skimmed NNRacing for N4/2002 carsets and found a few that would otherwise be lost to the sands of time, those are included as well. Some great sets that were under-appreciated due to the short shelf life of N4/2002.
– New Category: Modifieds! I’ve never been a fan of the Whelen mod for NR2003 but GPD have created almost ten years worth of carsets for it that deserve to be recognized if mods are your thing.
– New Category: Gen 7! There isn’t an actual Next-Gen car mod for NR2003, so I’ve simply bundled my favorite futuristic sets for both the Muscle Car Late Model mod & ICR mod into a package.
– Revised Category: Road Racing! The SCCA Trans-Am page has been re-worked to include a few miscellaneous road racing mods that use either TPTCC or PWF’s PTA mod as a base. There was really no reason not to include them before.
– Pages have been reworked to list the main mods and number of carsets included per mod; typing out each individual carset included is borderline insane and I had no desire to do it again.
– Increased emphasis on fantasy/alternate reality/re-design sets. If I saw something that looked cool and was rooted in reality with real sponsors/drivers/brands, I grabbed it.
– Increased number of “surprise” cars that aren’t part of any set and are separated/marked as such. Goodies that I picked up along my travels at Stunod or NNRacing are included, basically because I thought they were cool. You’ll know it when you see them.
Enjoy the winter lads – AO

NASCAR NEWS & NOTES
New Batch Of Sunoco Rookies Keep Veterans on Toes
There's a new crop of drivers looking to make their names during the 2017 NASCAR XFINITY Series season. The Sunoco Rookie of the Year class includes William Byron, Cole Custer, Spencer Gallagher, Daniel Hemric and Matt Tifft.
William Byron - No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro - is the pre-season favorite to win the 2017 Sunoco Rookie of the Year award purely based on how successful he was in his rookie campaign last season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The Charlotte, North Carolina native, finished last season in the trucks with a series-rookie record seven wins driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports. This season, the JR Motorsports young gun will be looking to build on his recent success, and he will do that with the guidance of crew chief David Elenz. This weekend at Daytona the 19-year-old Byron will be making his series debut.
Cole Custer - No. 00 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford Mustang - Almost everything is new at Stewart-Haas Racing this season - the announcement of moving to Ford from Chevrolet, and the creation of a NASCAR XFINITY Series team that will field one of the sport's budding talents, Cole Custer. Custer, the Ladera Ranch, California native, will be teamed with crew chief Jeff Meendering in 2017. Custer made five series starts last season for JR Motorsports with four different crew chiefs. In spite of the crew chief rotation, he was able to post one top five and two top 10s. The 19-year old Custer will be making his NASCAR XFINITY Series track debut at Daytona this weekend.
Spencer Gallagher - No. 23 GMS Racing Chevrolet Camaro - is leading the charge of expanding his family-owned organization, GMS Racing, and with that comes the newly formed NASCAR XFINITY Series No. 23 team. Gallagher, who calls Las Vegas, Nevada home, finished the 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season 12th in points after posting eight top 10s. Now Gallagher has turned his focus to the NASCAR XFINITY Series and will be working with crew chief Joey Cohen. The duo started seven NXS races last season, posting one top-10 finish. The 27-year-old's top 10 just happened to come at Daytona International Speedway last July where he started 27th and raced his way up to an eighth-place finish.
Daniel Hemric - No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet Camaro - made the announcement last season that he would be jumping to the NASCAR XFINITY Series and joining Richard Childress Racing in 2017. Hemric is coming off a solid season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series where he made the playoffs and finished sixth in the final standings driving for Brad Keselowski Racing. The 26-year-old from Kannapolis, North Carolina will be working with crew chief Danny Stockman Jr. who led Austin Dillon to rookie of the year honors and a series title (2013). This weekend at Daytona will be Hemric's NASCAR XFINITY Series debut.
2017 Daytona Xfinity Is Done Games 123 Nr2003 Designs Online
Matt Tifft - No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota - returns to the NASCAR XFINITY Series after being sidelined due to health issues last season. Tifft ultimately recovered and returned to racing, competing in the final six NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races for Red Horse Racing, posting two top 10s during that span. This season, Tifft is looking to showcase his talent and bring the Rookie of the Year honors to JGR for the third consecutive season (Daniel Suarez, 2015; Erik Jones, 2016). Tifft has made 11 NASCAR XFINITY Series starts, logging one top five and six top 10s. He has made two restrictor-plate starts; finishing 23rd at Daytona and eighth from the pole at Talladega.
Annett, Reddick Looking To Make A Splash In Florida
Two drivers joining the NASCAR XFINITY Series garage this season are Michael Annett and Tyler Reddick, and what better way to start off the season then at Daytona.
Former Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Michael Annett signed with JR Motorsports over the offseason and will be driving the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro with crew chief Jason Stockert in the NXS in 2017. Annett is no stranger to the series having made 163 starts over six years from 2008-2013, posting seven top fives and 34 top 10s. His career best in the series final standings came in 2012 when he finished fifth.
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series standout Tyler Reddick has leaped to the NASCAR XFINITY Series in 2017 and will drive for Chip Ganassi Racing. Reddick has competed in the NCWTS for the last four years, amassing three wins, 25 top fives and 40 top 10s. Reddick will be running a part-time schedule this season sharing the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet Camaro with Kyle Larson and Justin Marks.
NASCAR XFINITY Series Etc.:
Joe Gibbs Racing Goes For Six - After capturing its fifth NASCAR XFINITY Series owner title last season (2008, '09, '10, '12 and '16) the JGR organization immediately turned its attention to number six. This season Kyle Busch, Erik Jones, Matt Tifft and Daniel Suarez will contribute to the owner title winning cause. Jones, Tifft and Suarez will be competing this weekend at Daytona. Gibbs has four NASCAR XFINITY Series Daytona wins, but only once in the season opener (Tony Stewart, 2008).
JR Motorsports Looking To Take Back-To-Back Season Openers - Last season in a wild race that saw 32 green flag passes for the lead, former series champion Chase Elliott captured the victory for JR Motorsports. This season, Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s crew is looking to go back-to-back. Not since 2010-2011 (Kevin Harvick Inc. with driver Tony Stewart) has a team burst open the season with back-to-back season opening wins. Michael Annett, Elliott Sadler, Kasey Kahne and Justin Allgaier will be blazing the JRM nameplate come Saturday.
Star-Studded Lineup Includes Some Monsters - A star-studded lineup of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers will pull double duty this weekend, as Austin Dillon, Ty Dillon, Daniel Suarez, Brad Keselowski, Kasey Kahne and Aric Almirola will race in both the PowerShares QQQ 300 and Daytona 500.
Milestones
Starts - Jeff Green will attempt to make his 450th NASCAR XFINITY Series start this weekend at Daytona. Green is ranked fourth all-time on the series starts list behind Kenny Wallace (547), Jason Keller (520) and Mike Wallace (494). This will also be Green's 24th series start at Daytona; which will tie him with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kenny Wallace for the fourth-most series starts at Daytona.
