This really is where it all started, trying to put together a CART carset for Grand Prix 3 for the 2001 season. The original Grand Prix 3 game, being set up for Formula 1, required you to have the same livery for both cars in a team and 22 cars, which didn't really fit the 26 car grid for CART that year, hence I produced an "A" and "B" carset, together with add-ons to include the extras. I also produced additional liveries for the variations as I spotted them in the year, principally for Jimmy Vasser and Scott Dixon, then rounded up the best into a "CART Masters" carset at the end of the season, even reversing the usual team order so that the best teams were at the far end of the pit line, quite the opposite to how F1 is.

Then I got an e-mail from Marc Aarts,showing me how he'd incorporated both the "A" and "B" sets into a GP3-2000 carset that used all 22 liveries and I had to have a go - hence the first of my carsets for GP3-2000. All of this output is available below.
