Mini Cooper racers - and manufactured the 1966 Broadspeed GT Coupe based

Because of the great success, and after learning a few new modeling
tricks I decided it was time for an update. In a nutshell:
- better window frames
- better UV mapping, which enables putting textures on the car without
getting huge distortions
- and a few subtle other things...
It has been fun (and time consuming!) creating these models. Thanks
Seniordan for making suggestions in coloring schemes, and ReDi for
posting the first images on No-Grip, which "forced" me to complete the
project a bit faster than planned. But it is nice to know that there
are people looking forward to it!!!

Installation notes:
Installation in case of an upgrade:
Move (do NOT copy) the Broadspeed folder to something like: c:\TEMP
If you COPY the data then the Broadspeed folder will still exist and
during extraction of the new files some files may be overwritten and
some not. To keep a clean installation the original Broadspeed folder
must disappear. By "moving" it, you can go back to the previous version
if you like that one better. Then procede as "New installation".
New installation:
Extract the Broadspeed.rar file into the following folder:
\GameData\Teams\TC-65\Mini Cooper S
so that the data ends up in the folder with name:
\GameData\Teams\TC-65\Mini Cooper S\Broadspeed

There are 5 cars available: each in a separate folder:
\Broadspeed\BS0 -> car 202
\Broadspeed\BS1 -> car 212
\Broadspeed\BS2 -> car 222
\Broadspeed\BS3 -> car 232
\Broadspeed\BS4 -> car 242 -> Left hand drive!!! (thanks to Sunalp2)
Included are also:
- The "Left hand drive" is thanks to the very nice work of Sunalp2

(Own addition: I transferred the LCD display to the left as well.)
- James_1 additional lights (with adaptation, so that when either
main headlight is knocked out, only one additional light is knocked
out and not both of them or none).
- ??? White RS dials. One more dial was added; the colorscheme of the
speedo was tuned a bit for more consistency with the other dials; and
the main needle was given a more dark red color.
Enjoy!
