Description     	: Irungattukottai is the first permanent race circuit in India, opened in 1990. Placed near Chennai (formely Madras), the heartland of Indian motorsport since the early 1990's. Owned by the Madras Motor Sports Club, Irungattukottai is a tight 3,73 kms circuit with no long straightways, meanwhile offering some high-speed turns for challenge. No one main international series visited Irungattukottai up to present, since it lacks modern safety standards on its run-off areas. This GP2 version was converted from Roberto Scandura's GP3 track layout, cc-line and fences distances, while I made the rest of the scenary, looking like a international venue.
Other Works     	: I stopped to count my previous works, from 2001 to now, maybe some dozens of GP2 tracks around the world... :)
Thanks to       	: Paul Hoad for the Trackeditor, Object editor and Jam editor.
                  	  Geoff Crammond for making Grand Prix 2.
			  Andreas Schulz for grandprix2.de
			  Roberto Scandura for the previous Irungattukottai GP3 track.

* Installation *
1. 
(if you already have new tracks on the game jump to STEP 2): 
patch the game with a util that obliges the game to read the tracks
from the harddisk. These utils are gp2nocd or trakonhd. 
Search for one of them on the net and install it. This program will 
create a new directory called "circuits": you have to copy there 
ALL the 16 track files (F1ct01, F1ct02...........F1ct16)

2. 
Place the 'chennai' directory from the ZIP file into the Gp2 'gamejams' directory.

3. 
Place the Irungattukottai_India_1998.dat file in the circuits directory. It runs better in 
slot 13. Others slots was not tested.

4. 
Start Gp2 and drive...........
