Challenge: Texas - Improved & Restored

---

You may've seen some unused cars showed during a race day, and maybe you were wondering... Why I can't drive them?
Wonder no more! With VltEd, this unused cars can be restored. This mod aims to restore a couple of unused Battle Machine cars:
A Nissan 350Z, for drift events, and a VW Golf GTI, for drag events. Both cars were probably made to be used on Challenge: Texas (judging by their preset names in VltEd).
With that in mind, I made this mod to add (or replace, the choice is yours!) both a drift and a drag event to Challenge: Texas, by copying and modifying already existing events.
The addon version also increases the points needed to dominate the Challenge (and Ray Krieger's record), while also increasing the reward from 8500 to 10000.

There's also a script that fixes the car presets:
- Added the missing roll cage to the Grip 350Z, replacing a duplicated spoiler entry. Now the car uses the same spoiler as the AI Grip 350Z.
- Replaced the performance upgrades from the Drift 350Z with generic_packages.
- Added the missing aftermarket hood for the AI Drag Golf GTI.
- Reduced the engine package from the Drag Golf GTI from stage 2 to stage 1.
- Increased the nitrous package from the Drag Golf GTI from stage 1 to stage 2.

(This last two things ensures that the player can break the Drag record)

Installation instructions:
1. Download and install the latest version of VltEd.
2. Run VltEd.exe.
3. Click on File (or use Ctrl + I), select Import, and choose either Challenge-Texas-Improved-&-Restored-events-Addon.nfsms or Challenge-Texas-Improved-&-Restored-events-Replacement.nfsms.
4. A pop-up will show. Click on Install, then Close.
5. Click on File and select Save (or use Ctrl + S).
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5, this time with Challenge-Texas-Improved-&-Restored-presets-fix.nfsms.

Remember to start a new save, to see the changes! And it's a good idea to have a backup of the game, too.

There is the Corvette Z06 for drift, it is the same case as with the Golf GTI (Drag) and the 350Z (Drift) it is in the game files, you can see it, but you cannot use it since there are no Drift events on that race day.

Like adding a drift event? Can't remember if there's any unused drift car for that challenge... Can't promise I'll do it, right now I'm busy with other things, but thanks anyway for the suggestion

Great mod. Is it possible for you to make a similar mod for Drift racing in the super promo race day nevada challenge?
