_________________________
Just a note for anyone that already has the IndyCar Series 2009 mod:

This is the full v1.1, also known as the St Pete Edition, plus the Kansas Edition, with the Franchitti Nicorette skin thrown in too. If you already have all that, and the same version of the Indy track, you should be good to go.
