RSR: Randle Sim Racing

Wrapping up my 2022-23 Trackpacks was a bit slower than usual. I still have a few more mod updates left, but RSR's Holiday Season is over for tracks. Check out the rFactor Downloads page for tracks both old and new. For ease of navigation, they will be listed under the rest of the 2022 tracks in-game.

RSRFactor 1 Dirt Modifieds 3 and Open Wheel 2 are now released, along with their templates and VEH files, and also a new Dirt and Asphalt Trackpack headlined by Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. On the rFactor Downloads page. Thanks Bruce Carroll, Vitor Souza, and everyone else who helped!!

Starting our annual End-Of-Year Content Drop for rFactor 1 and possibly 2. Aptly kicking it off with a Northeast-themed set, RSRFactor NorthEast 2 and 2022-23 Trackpack 1 with every Northeast track we have are now available on the rFactor Downloads page. I also put up the first beta for RSRFactor 2 Dirt Late Models. The handling and AI on those cars has gotten way better since, so an update for those is on the way.

Go to the rFactor downloads page to get my new Dirt Late Model mod and Gateway Dome track.

The Super Stock Sportsman Cars return to NASCAR Heat!! Go to Mods (Cars) to download!!

Today I released RSR USAC Sprint Cars for NASCAR Heat. Go to the Mods (Cars) page to download.

Today I released:

Fall 2019 Trackpack

World of Outlaws Sprint Cars

World of Outlaws Late Models

for NASCAR Heat. I'm still not done, obviously. I think I'll release the rest every week or other week, most likely in this order:

USAC, GNG, and UMP Sportsman

Pro Cup and Open Wheel

rFactor Late Models and Trackpack

rFactor Sprint Cars

rFactor Modifieds and Sportsman

In the meantime, check the Mods (Cars) and Tracks pages for the Heat tracks and World of Outlaws mods.

Go to the Pavment Mods page to get my VIndyCar 2018 DX NASCAR Heat mod!

I released a whole bunch of stuff for NASCAR Heat today. The Mods are DLM and Sprint Cars 2K19, RSR Dirt Sim 4, and STS 2K19. The Tracks are a trackpack that contains new tracks like East Bay, Duck River, Plymouth, Dirt Track at Texas, a new Bloomington, and way more, and Clay Lizardman Festival, a red clay hex oval where I put lizardmen who I made out of clay in in a tribal/art festival/art deco/craft/fantasy setting. 

Details:

DLM 2K19:

More than a roster update. New Super Late Model faces that have been popular for decades such as Darrell Lanigan, Don O' Neal, Bub McCool, and Dale McDowell; New faces that are younger and new to the sport, such as Kyle Bronson, Hudson O' Neal, and Tyler Erb; a new host of drivers in the other Late Models divisions hailing from Fastrak, NeSmith, IMCA, ILMS, and the return of SUPR to RSR Heat; and new game character drivers who have been in the business in my head for at least a decade, like Bowser, Fox McCloud, Krystal McCloud, and K. Rool; and Super Stock drivers like Travis Howe, Steve Peeden, Jamey Wilson, and Justin Jeffries; in their respective divisions and in "All-Star" carsets with every last driver for every type of Dirt Late Model feature. And new physics that are easy to learn and addicting. Also, race right off the bat, as it's preloaded with tons of AI and setups for numerous tracks. Offline series include seasons loosely based on the World of Outlaws Late Models, Lucas Oil Late Models, IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Tour, and the fictional Satrday Night All-Stars Late Model Series. Strap in for the ride of your life!!

Sprint Cars 2K19:

A few changes to 2K19, added in some new chassis, a bunch of Non Wing drivers, and updated drivers who were in last year. Physics are lightning fast, as I've figured out that anytime I make a NASCAR Heat car that's under 2000 lbs, I've got to weigh it down with a minimum spring rate of 400-500. And it still performs light as a feather!! I'm applying this to my IndyCars as well. Easy 9s at Bloomington!! Offline series include seasons loosely based on the World of Outlaws, Lucas Oil ASCS 360 Winged, USAC Indiana Sprint Week, the fictional Saturday Night All Stars Sprint Car series, and weekly Non Winged racing from Bloomington, Randle County, Dusty Bowl, Lincoln Park, Paragon, and Tri State. Time to go for it!!

RSR Dirt Sim 4:

While the RSR Dirt Sim 2017 Late Models and Sprint Cars have been promoted to standalone mod status, that leaves the RSR Dirt Sim mod for "all those other divisions," like Modifieds, Sportsman Super Stocks, Pro Stocks, Street Stocks, Hornets, I even threw in my experimental Super Saloon chassis for all those NZ tracks out there!! Series include Weekly for Bloomington, Tri State, Dusty Bowl, and more!! 4 may not be the right number, but it's the latest in RSR Dirt Sim, and is the start of a new direction for the mod!

STS 2K19:

Occasionally, I like to turn to the dark side. Pavement, that is. Various Pavement Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, Sprint Cars, and more are featured. Don't forget to download the track pack, and read the document about the other required tracks for the ofline series!

All of these mods come with:

AI for all my new tracks and some others

A ReadMe with a bunch of details and FAQs

Offline series for career mode (the 2018 Series trackpack is recommended for the dirt series, to speed up the acquiring of tracks for them)

Multiiple divisions

Setups for the different cars for different length tracks (accessible by Shift clicking the Load button in Garage mode)

The options.cfg that I usually use (XBox 360/One controller-ready, especially if you download the Xbox One force feedback drivers from Steam)

Tracks:

Trackpack includes tracks like:

Plymouth Raceway, a 1/3 Mile Dirt Oval that you can also race the 1/6 mile go kart track.

Bloomington Speedway 2018: The famed college town track gets a complete facelift and is higher banked, faster, and more winding.

The Dirt Track at Texas: Across the street from the Ft. Worth venue's main Pavement Oval, this track hosts the Dirt Track World Championships, weekly racing, and SUPR.

The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: Another Speedway Motorsports Dirt Track, I have officially done all Speedway Motorsports Dirt Tracks now. Charlotte, Check several times. Texas, Check. Las Vegas, Check. Dirt Bristol, Check a long time ago. A rip from Ratbag's World of Outlaws 2002 Sprint Car game, it's a fast, 1/2 mile Dirt Oval outside of Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The K&N Pro West Series ran there this year, so it's cool to run the K&N Pro mod here, even though it was from awhile back.

Clay Lizardman Festival: A fictional red clay hex oval that is all about my creativity and artistic ability. it is not only unique and original in shape, but also in design and setting. A dirt track in a fantasy world filled with funny Lizardmen who are made out of clay. This track doubles as a marketplace, with tons of booths for armor, weapons, pottery, and bagels, lizardmen love their bagels. Drive abound on a test run to explore, but don't get caught up in the details on race day!!

Paragon Speedway: A 3/8 mile dirt oval in a park-like setting in Paragon, IN, outside of Martinsville, I finally finished the first true edition. Be careful for them hairpin turns!!

Cedar Lake Speedway: A NASCAR Whelen All-American Dirt Track in New Richmond, WI, it is fast, scenic, and races NASCAR weekly racing that is identical to WISSOTA, so that drivers from other tracks can compete.

And way more tracks than that!! 

What's next for RSR Heat this year?

VIndyCar 2018 DX (new physics, updated UI photos, new tracks, new IR-18 model to prepare for IndyCar All-Time, which is expected late May 2019)

RSR Karts 2K19 (Will possibly coincide with the release of Super Smash Bros Ultimate, fittingly)

Skateboard update for RSR Central (adds new characters and skateparks, more of a personal comedy mod but hey, some others might find a bit of joy in it!)

What's on the horizon after that?

Other than the annual 2K mods and updates to existing mods, I'll embark on new journeys, including:

Carsets for my mods, for real and fictional series, sometimes with UI updates.

IndyCar All-Time: IndyCar greats from every era compete in this big crossover event.

A full on Summer and Winter RSR Action Sports addon for RSR Central, and I'll have funny videos and coverage of them, like RSR's X Games.

GNG Crown: The "Next Gen Big Cars" will get a standalone mod.

And of course updates for my rFactor Sportsman, Street Stocks, possibly my Modifieds.

So what are you waiting for?! Headon over to the top of the Mods (cars) and Tracks pages to download them!!

Today I released the RSRFactor 2018 Dirt Late Models and Sprint Cars, and the RSRFactor Fall 2018 Trackpack, all on the rFactor Downloads page. Let the RSR Release Season begin!!

With my new attitude towards my rFactor mods, sorta releasing them with frequent updates and the same download link, I'm starting things off with my first pavement Open Wheel Formula (non-Sprint-type) mod, VIndyCar 2018 for rFactor. I didn't add in all the drivers yet, but I have the car models and Corneria Motor Speedway.

Today I released Lawrenceburg 2018 for Heat on the Tracks page.

I released DLM and Sprint Cars 2K18 DX on the Mods (Cars) page, with their full-on 2K19 versions set for late this year. And on the tracks page, I released my Home Bird Tracks, which are realistic-style fictional American Dirt Ovals. Happy Independence Day everyone!!

In celebration of the Indy 500 in a week, I released a mod for my fictional VIndyCar series. With drivers ranging from Daveybird, to Falco Lombardi, to Lord Shen, to Sonic, to Tails, to Knuckles, to Ken, to Ryu, to Megaman X, to Cyber Peacock, to Diddy Kong, to Iggy Koopa.

#ButItDoesn'tMove

I released a NASCAR Heat mod on the Mods (Cars) page called RSR Classic, which showcases some of my old mods and tracks, with updates every Thursday.

I added some updates and stuff, and also some alphas for my 2018 Dirt and Pavement Street Stocks, and Dirt Modifieds. If you don't want to go to the Mods (Cars) folder to download them, then:

Asphalt Street Stocks

Dirt Street Stocks

Dirt Modifieds

All come with Templates and CarViewers.

Three new RSR releases as part of my Inagural Holiday Break Flurry of Mods. Earlier this year, I stated that I will release a bunch of mods that I had about half or 3/4 done by then, during Christmas break. Well here are some. I'm updating the Heat mods with a few extra things, but I'm putting the mods up here now in the meantime. DLM and Sprint Cars 2K18 are on the Mods (Cars) page, and RSR Pro Wrestling 2018 is on the RSR Entertainment page.

If you don't want to go to these pages, then:

DLM 2K18 Download Link

Sprint Cars 2K18 Download Link

RSR Pro Wrestling 2018 Download Link

My 2017 Late Models have been released!! With hidden Goody Bags that are Zip files in the mod folders that contain extra cars, drivers, and tracks, and will be a staple for most RSR Heat and rFactor mods to come!!

Link:

Download it Here!!

I added the Sim versions of my Super Stock Sportsman Cars and 300cc Go Karts as the first DLC divisions for RSR Dirt Sim 2017.

Today I released Gas City I-69 Speedway 2017, way better than the version I did a few years ago! Get it at the Tracks page!

I updated the Sim (non-AE) CT525 cars because they had a cockpit problem. If you don't want to go back to the Mods page to download the chassis update, click Here.

I also added three new tracks, credit to the rFactor guys. Fairbury American Legion Speedway (pictured left with the non-spoiler version of my upcoming Sportsman cars), Farmer City 2017, and Brownstown 2017. You can get them on the Tracks page.

The RSR Dirt Sim 2017 base mod with the various Late Models is now on on the Mods page! Thank you so much Mike Jackson and DRT for the car models that I've added my RSR special touch to! Plus, look for much more Heat and rFactor content from me. Illinois' Faribury American Legion Speedway is having its first NASCAR Heat edition, converted from rFactor, and Farmer City Raceway will have a 2017 edition, converted from rFactor as well! And my Brownstown Speedway which was originally made by a guy named John is getting a bunch of objects from the rFactor version and a new track texture put on it for the 2017 edition! And plenty of new upcoming RSR Dirt Sim 2017 chassis and carsets for both the Sim and Arcade Edition are going to be released in the near future, along with different tracks, some redid, some converted from rFactor, some that have never been either in NASCAR Heat or under the RSR branding, and some entirely fictional tracks, in the real world, Randleton, RSR Town, or popular fictional areas from my favorite video games or TV shows. RSR Dirt Sim will have a very bright future if things go as planned. There will even be a carset of real Dirt Super Late Model drivers!

Today I added RSRFactor Sprint Cars V3 to the rFactor downloads page. Thanks to Bill Malicoat for the BOZ 2010 Sprint Car models! Plus, in a month or so, I'm making RSRFactor Late Models 2016! With heavily-enhanced DTR2 models. They will look way better than the original!

Head on over to the rFactor downloads page to get the RSRFactor 2016 Sprint Cars! I had a lot of fun driving them, and I'm sure you will, too!

Today I released the RSR Arena dirt oval in the Tracks section! Approximately 1/5-mile temporary dirt track perfect for small cars, like Sprints, Midgets, and my newly-released Wedge Karts! I also added an update to RSR Sprint Cars 2015 which makes the Wing Sprints go much faster!

Today I released the newest edition of my Wedge Karts, those go karts with silly animal drivers, and some familiar video game characters, much like the ones I did a few years ago, but bigger, character models improved, different physics, and my Dirt Late Model spoiler. Go to the Mods (Cars) page to download them, and drag and drop the contents to your NASCAR Heat folder. Got a funny character you want driving a wedge kart? We've got a template in the Zip file!

Tonight I added what is more than a facelift to my old Daveybird Speedway. All new textures, track model, grandstands, and more. On the Tracks page.

I added an update to my RSR Dirt Sim 2016 cars to have tires with dirt on them, with the help of my friend BD Ford. On the Mods (Cars) page.

I'm kinda getting back into NASCAR Heat modding. To start the year, I made a mod with Dirt Late Models, Modifieds, and Super Stocks.

Today I added the rFactor version of Randle County Speedway, on the rFactor Downloads page.

Check the rFactor Downloads page for the Weaver Park Oval track, from DTR2, except it's not Figure 8.

Head on over to the rFactor Downloads page, and I uploaded three DTR2 tracks for rFactor: South Central Oval, Spindale, and 41st Street, and a beta of a 4 Cylinder Hornet mod I'm starting, as shown to the left. It seems as if I'll be stopping all NASCAR Heat modding and switching to rFactor, at least for now. If you're wondering why I haven't made a Dirt Late Model or Modified mod for rF yet, it's because there are several out there already that I like, that people still race, and DWD made good mods for most of those divisions with the best AI. I might make a Super Stock mod, though, as I don't like how DWD's Sportsman cars turned out, with the exact same Late Model body. I'm more for modding cars for rFactor that either don't have many mods, or have a lot of mods, but don't have good AI.

I released an (almost) stress-free Sprint Car mod for rFactor with probably the best AI in any rFactor Sprint Car mod currently. Check it out and download at the rFactor Downloads page. I also added an extra event for Bloomington Speedway for rFactor which removes the infield tires like they did in real life this year. That's also in rFactor downloads.

I'm kinda focusing more on rFactor now, but I remembered that I had to get the 2015 Dirt Late Models done. Available now on the Mods page!

I'm starting to dabble in rFactor now with my Street Stocks. Download in the Pavement Mods section!

Today, I added the IMCA Stock Cars carset for Street Stock Heat. Includes an 80s and 90s chassis, and 25 real drivers.

Today, I added DLM Heat Arcade Edition, which has four gears and is ready for Normal Mode, and Randle County Late Models (shown left), a mod which has 18 drivers who I made up during my childhood and has both Normal and Sim carsets. And, I also added Southeastern Randle County's Circle Park Speedway.

Today I added Foxville Speedway, available on the Tracks page.

Check out the new RSR Powersports page to download my new SX mod and tracks!

Today's my 23rd birthday, and I also released a bunch of stuff:

Eldora

Fonda

Dirt Sportsman Heat

Sprint Heat

Dirt Modified Heat

Street Stock Heat

STS 2014 (Pavement)

Whew, dat's a lodda stuff! Lol! So you can go check them out! And to the left is a brand new Tri State Speedway I'm working on, which is a heavily-modified version of Scott Hawbaker's Tri State he made for DTR2 ages ago! Look forward to it in the next few days!

DLM Heat is released! The biggest news in the NASCAR Heat dirt community for almost ten years!

Features:

40+ real drivers in the Super Late Models, plus me.

DTR2 drivers in the other divisions (I'll make real drivers when I have time).

Three Super Late Model chassis configurations.

Two Crate Late Model chassis configurations

Three Super Stock Sportsman body styles, plus a non-spoiler chassis

IMCA Late Models

UMP Modifieds

This is a major mod that the dirt Heat community wants!

Get it now at the Mods page!

Added three new tracks, The Dirt Track @ Charlotte V3, Columbus Speedway MS, and Cherokee Speedway. Also, please redownload the BLS TNL and SNAS SLM pack, since I added a couple of missing drivers and fixed the physics and models. Now you can lift the left side of your Late Models up!

RSRN may be temporarily off the air, but I've still been hard at work. I added a whole bunch of stuff today. I converted Volusia, Bloomington, Terre Haute, and Volunteer from DTR2, plus a couple of chassis from there as well.

DTR2 Tracks I plan to convert sometime soon:

Columbus Speedway MS

Lucas Oil Speedway

NSDRA North Texas

41st Street

Knoxville

Spindale

The Dirt Track @ Charlotte

Hill Valley

Ark-La-Tex

Farmer City

Cherokee

Kokomo

Just give me time and all of them should be done within the next few months!

Added LPS, Lincoln Park Speedway, to the Tracks page. 5/16 mile dirt oval in Putnamville, IN.

I added several new chassis and carsets. UMP Sportsman Super Stocks V2 (pictured left), Crate Late Models, IMCA Late Models, and IMCA Modifieds. The new Super Stocks have some real drivers. Thanks to DRT for the base chassis! They're on the mods page.

And I did make that new Daveybird paper figure. Check the papertoys page to download him.

The little 4-banger open wheel cars have arrived for both the RSR 2014 and NSDR mods! Check the Mods (Cars) page to get them!

I added the new version of The Dirt Track at Indiana State Fairgrounds! Look in the Tracks section!

Today I added RSR Dirt Sim 2014 (thank you DRT for the car models) and Randle County Speedway, a fictional 3/8 mile red clay dirt oval. Real fun racing there.

For those of you who've known me for awhile, 2014 is the 10th anniversary of my little fictional place called Randleton, which I made up and placed a lot of dirt tracks in. Now that I'm better at track making, I'm gonna make some of those tracks that I could only dream about as a 12-13-year-old. First up, I made a newer, much less bumpy, Dusty Bowl (pictured left), and the Rot Box, which is a rounded-square dirt oval.

Tonight I added several new tracks: Gas City I-69 Speedway, Brownstown 2014, Daveybird Speedway (pictured left), and The Dirt Track at RSR Fairgrounds.

I'm also working on new RSR Mods (using the DRT cars as the base, but with vastly different physics). Late Models, Sprint Cars, Super Stocks, UMP/IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Bombers (different than the RSR Street Stocks, these use various muscle and production-style cars not commonly used as Street Stocks or Bombers). They will all be different carsets in a single mod, kinda like Platinum. The Super Late Models and Bombers, which I have gotten the farthest with as of now, will be included with the main RSR file. For the Late Models, 410 Wing Sprint Cars, Modifieds, and Super Stocks, I will also release real driver carsets at a later date. 

The 410 Wing Sprint Cars will have these WoO drivers:

Steve Kinser

Steve Kinser (Quaker State)

Kraig Kinser

Terry McCarl

Karl Kinser

Tim Kaeding

Joey Saldana

Donny Schatz

Danny Lasoski

Maybe more.

The Dirt Super Late Models will have the following Lucas Oil/Woo drivers:

Scott Bloomquist

Donnie Moran

Brian Shirley

Brian Birkhofer

Chub Frank

Shannon Babb

Jason Feger

Don O' Neal

Austin Dillon

Tim McCreadie

Steve Francis

Dale McDowell

Tyler Reddick

Kent Robinson

Darrell Lanigan

Steve Casebolt

Vic Coffey

John Blankenship

Billy Moyer

Billy Moyer, Jr.

Josh Richards

Bart Hartman

Terry Phillips

Earl Pearson, Jr.

That should make a full A-Main field of 24.

The Super Stocks will include these Bloomington Speedway drivers, both current and legends:

Jack Frye (2008, current)

Jeremy Hines (2008 UMP Sportsman National Championship car)

Lee Hobbs (2003, 2008, 2009)

Josh McDaniel

Danny Harris (2005)

Josh Burton (2007, RIP)

Steve Peeden (current, and Josh Burton memorial scheme)

Travis Howe

Winston Howe

Steve Hollars

Chris Hillman (2005, 2009)

Kyle Porter (my high school friend who was a rookie last year)

Chip Slagle

Randy Petro

Today I added Seedtick Raceway, a dirt go kart track in the middle of a cornfield in Princeton, IN. Check it out in the More Tracks page!

Today I added the Go Kart carset for the NSDR Mod. Just drag the two .car files into the NSDR folder, and go into the carsets folder in the zip and place the Dirt Go Karts folder in NSDR's carsets folder. Dirtkart.car is the original dirt kart chassis, and dbkart is the same, but has my head on it (like the 16 car in the picture). Don't worry, I didn't make myself faster than the regular chassis. They were both completely made by myself, except for the tires. Also, I added Bronzeville Speedway, a fictional 1/8-mile dirt indoor track located in Southside Chicago of all places! I also added Davey's Backyard Raceway, which is a banked, 1/8-mile red clay oval in my fictional country house's backyard. They both are heavily-modified DRT tracks, so credit to them, too.

First of all, my Starfox friend Falco Lombardi made a new site, over here! And he wants you to check it out! Secondly, I've updated Farmer City so that the flagstand is in the infield like it is in real life. I also made a new mod, Crate Wars: Fastrak Vs. NeSmith, in the Mods page, featuring real Crate Late Model drivers from both series, which is shown in the screenshot. Speaking of Falco, I also released a fun, cute litle mod called Falco Barefoot Racing, also on the Mods page.

Tonight I added the pile of glitz and glamour known as Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. I made this track thanks to DRT and the guys who did the DTR2 Lucas Oil Speedway. Download it in the More Tracks page. And right now I'm updating Kokomo.

I added some more eye candy to my 1/4 mile Kokomo track. Go to the More Tracks page and download it!

I just added my latest mod, Stock Car USA, to the Pavement Mods section (but they can be used on dirt if you wish!). If you were a child of the '90s-early 2000s, like me, and were at least moderately interested in arcade games, you have to remember Daytona USA and the tons of other games that were similar. Stock Car USA is designed for Normal mode and the cars handle pretty easily.

I'm going to Bloomington Speedway on the 16th, and I also updated Demo's old Bloomington. Looks nice. I included a day and night version, and also added qualifying, where you run a heat-style race to determine your starting position. Real fun!

  Get out on the dirt, Falco! I've also included a ton of other riders, like bikers, a cardinal, motorcycle racers, and my dinosaur character! Get them at the Mods (Cars) page!

Nice dirt track, this time, enclosed in a Pro football field! Lots of seating. Uses the same track model as Cardinal Stadium. Get it at the Tracks page!
