Some years ago the developer Sebastian Macke started a project to reverse engineer the assets of Test Drive III. This culminated with a 3D viewer for the maps:

Recently he has resumed the effort, and this time he managed to recover the sprites:

The repo contains no "article" stricto sensu, but lots of detailed Markdown files documenting the various formats.

Worth noting that TD3 was not developed by DSI but by a totally different team, so the file format is not related to the one used by Stunts, Grand Prix Circuit etc.
