Brickyard Legends Team present : Jaguar XJS Trans Am, Group 44 - Bob TulliusThe story of chassis number 78-44 centers upon Bob Tullius, a U.S. Air Force veteran who began racing in 1961 and really started making a name for himself in the Trans-Am series in 1966. By the time he retired 20 years later, Tullius had competed in 60 Trans-Am races and won 21 of them, making him the second most winning driver in the series history. Tullius raced under the banner of Group 44, a team he founded (and named for his number) that straddled the gap between professional sponsorship and amateur talent. Finished in the green and white Quaker State livery, Group 44s successful cars were a mainstay of Trans-Am and IMSA racing during the 1970s and early 1980s, setting a standard that has rarely been equaled.Group 44s burgeoning success in Trans-Am during the mid-1970s was recognized as an opportunity by Michael Dale, Jaguars vice-president of sales. Jaguars parent company, British Leyland, had no interest in sponsoring a race program, but Dale knew that a competition variant of the companys new XJ-S, the coolly received replacement for the discontinued E-Type, might be just the thing to drum up interest and publicity for the new model. With his strong track record and history of racing various Jaguars, Tullius and his Group 44 were the perfect candidates, and Dale soon contacted the driver about the possibility of entering an XJ-S in Trans-Am (continued in readme.txt)-mod is linked to GTC-TC-76 class and the Chevy Corvette-there are 3 physics sets available : JAGUAR_XJS_XJR2.HDC JAGUAR_XJS_XJR3.HDC JAGUAR_XJS_XJR4.HDCCredits :- papag21 : 3d, mapping, file structure- greg7 : physics, testing- kiwisteve : templates, skins- jandri : sounds- rallymaster : testing- Soze : researchInstallation instructions:- extract folder to X:/GTL/Enjoy
