Dear pipsqueaks,

my investigations around GPC, started some months ago, have finally reached the goal. I am happy to annouce that Grand Prix Circuit, after 38 years, has now an expansion!

My mod, Don Matrelli's Legacy, features three new cars, three new tracks, and harder opponents.

You can download game and manual here. The manual is important! If you liked my writing style last month, you might appreciate the team descriptions.

Thanks Alan! Now, in addition to the night race (Möbius) you can imagine that Spa has a light fog (gray sky), and so my mod perfectly mirrors your last rally race!

Cool! There aren't different weathers in this game. I add "night" as another weather :D

Are there mods like this for Test Drive II? A night stage would be also cool!

Nice work! It looks great. Congratulations on the release! :D

I think there are no mods for TD2. But the game uses .PES files just like GPC and Stunts, only the compression algorithm is different. So it should be possible to upgrade Stressed and make it open Test Drive assets.

If you are interested in modding the game, let me know. I can probably extend Stressed for you, but it will be up to you to design the backgrounds for a night mod :)

I'm interested on racing a modded Test Drive 2, unfortunately I don't have the time to research or edit it.
There is another big fan of this game @Marco . He usually drives live records on the different stages with different cars.

As far as I know there are two car pack expansions (Supercars and muscle cars) and two scenario packs (California and European). They're official from DSI.
