Is the link down? Mega says it's unavailable.

I think Ekstrak - Hard Drivers (Subbufer Mix) song should be an optional feautre instead of being installed together

I'd only like to ask if it's compatible with the following mods:
ZPatch + 4GB patch + Physics Fix
XBLA Demo Visuals + PS3 Visual Treatment + HD Vinyls
4k PS2 Skybox + PS2 Fog
Lightstreaks fix

I'm confused why you didn't put me in the credits for the inspiration for Yumi's R32. You went to redfire thinking he made it when it clearly said i made it and then you had a whole conversation with him about re-doing it. You put him in the credits but not me for the inspiration, that's offensive. He clearly didn't make it cause his user on the site has always been the same and you knew that so i am confused why you put him in the credits as a special thanks but not me as well.

I think I (kinda) know what the beta challenge series preset changed. I noticed that it puts you against a tier 3 plymouth in the silver canyon duel. It's super hard but it's still winnable. If you get 124 - 130k in the 1st round you can win in round 2 even if you make as many mistakes as I did. I've tried to win by passing him in round one but I genuinely can't pass/pull away from it until the final straight. (At least it's still beatable tho)
