This skin requires James Skinner's brilliant Thruxton 1990s track.
I tried for a "fresh" look since Thruxton had its big upgrade in '68. Inspiration came from ads and sponsors seen in photos and video, and some things from a year or two before or after. Please don't take anything too literally. Thanks to Pasta2000 for encouragement and feedback. Although I'm not yet convinced the kerbs were actually blue+white around that time, I'm willing to stand corrected
I liked how Flow13800 bundled a separate layout to manage CSP changes in their recent Brands Hatch 1970 skin so I've done the same here. In this way, Content Manager should be able to cope with a drag-and-drop installation, leaving the track's original files intact.
If you want to drive with the skin online on servers which haven't installed the additional layout, it's still possible--but you'll need to hack your own copy of the js_thruxton90s\extension\ext_config.ini file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) to add the following lines to the bottom:
If the CSP changes aren't activated by using the new track layout or manually hacking as above, you'll see modern things like catch fences which should be hidden.
Please let me know about any bugs or problems in the Discussion tab and I'll try to help where I can.
