Just saw that Ian has released an update to his Indycar mod. And just in time for, well, INDY!!
You can find out all about it at:

Tried to run this mod on my NRT hosted server, no-go, apparently it requires some extra attention on the server side to operate correctly.

On the bright side it got me interested enough to try the CART mod for rFactor which I am impressed with.

Maybe this part of the 'Read me' explains the problem?

"IMPORTANT : DEDICATED SERVERS:
If you are running this mod for league races and have a dedicated server (i.e. use server.exe instead of NR2003.exe) then please install the "Dedicated Server install" version of the mod instead of the full one. In testing we have found the full mod will randomly crash a server, and sometimes won't load tracks at all, we believe this to be related to the way the server.exe handles mods which is different to the regular game exe, we are still trying to narrow down the issue so created the dedicated server install for launch - but the other advantage is it's only 2MB total so saves a ton of space on the server, see readme for specific installation details. This does not need to be used if you are hosting a race over IP via the Multiplayer "Host" option from within the regular game (NR2003.exe). "

Yeah, I just shortened my explanation to "requires some special attention on the server side" from the longer explanation that I got NRT guys on TS and sent them the link to the indycar page that contains all the downloads and instructions, NRT tried everything, still no-go, we worked on it for a while but failed to get it to work and we have no explanation about why it won't work and I don't want to jack up our server trying to get it to work.

Brian,
I still would suggest contacting Ian . I have raced this in 3 different leagues, so I know it is possible and it works. :13:
