To work properly the author asks you to install three free mods from the repository: D-Troxx Wheel Pack, European Plate Holders and the yellow plate from European License Plates Compilation. It is the author’s first almost fully self-made car mod: they warn things still need polishing and ask that it not be posted on other sites. Alex Ventura is credited as the author of an rFactor model used as a resource; the page does not say to what extent or whether permission was asked.
