NOTE: All of the tracks done under the NEW FORMAT for the SAFER Barrier Project are distinguished by having an "_SBP" extension on the end of the track name. This way you will know that all the tracks with this extentsion are multiplayer compatible. If for some reason, you have compatibility issues, either the track you downloaded, or the track located on the server you're trying to connect to is not a genuine SAFER Barrier Project track.
************************************Because this track is more than a cosmetic update, and Sandbox was used in order to add new textures and 3d shapes, this track is not multiplayer compatible with the original Papyrus tracks. This track is, however multiplayer compatible with exact copies of itself. YOUR SERVER MUST BE HOSTING THIS EXACT TRACK <'richmond_night_SBP07'> IN ORDER FOR YOU TO USE IT IN ONLINE PLAY.
After downloading the richmond_night_SBP07.exe file from the website, simply run the installer and follow the prompts. The installer will automatically place the track into the NASCAR Racing 2003 Season\tracks directory by default.
