6/6/20 - Mallon dominates en route to huge Daytona victory!
In an action-packed, intense season opener at Daytona, Tyler Mallon dominates most of the race and takes the victory in the season opener at Daytona! (Made all the more meaningful by the fact that this race started with 29 cars, a record-breaking field for the EPRS)
5/30/20 - Dale Cole Jr. wins the Daytona Clash!
In the first official EPRS race since April 2018, Dale Cole Jr. heads to victory lane in a crazy return to Daytona!
4/2/18 - Race 9 at Chicagoland Moved to Sunday
The first playoff race at Chicagoland has been moved back to Sunday, April 8th at 5 PM ET on account of scheduling conflicts.
3/19/18 - All Races Moved Back 1 Week
All races from Race 8 through Race 15 have been pushed back by 1 week. This comes with an increase in personal responsibility that needs to be taken care of first and foremost, as well as some big changes coming up in the series. Right now, we're deciding between different connection methods and possible changes in games as our base for racing. This is all in an attempt to make a more-enjoyable experience for our drivers. I'm sorry if this comes as an inconvenience to anyone.
2/23/18 - Practice Time Length Extended
Originally, practice before each EP Cup Series race would be 10 minutes. The time has been extended to 15 minutes after multiple weeks of late starts due to connectivity problems. We hope this will help keep things as simple as possible.
2/6/18 - Race 2 Moved Up, Changed Track
Race 2 from Phoenix has been moved up to this Friday (February 9th) at 9 PM ET. Also, we will not be using Phoenix2011 as our track. Instead, we'll be using Phoenix_Night_Beta by Afterburner Motorsports. Link to download the track can be found on our "Downloads" page as well as here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/guzdha2a78o38oi/phoenix_night_Beta_v1.2.rar
2/5/18 - Opening Night
Thank you to those who raced at Daytona tonight. It was a fun race. I believe this series is going to do well. I'm sorry to those who struggled to race/join. Hopefully we'll figure out the problems heading through the season. Thanks again, and congrats to Blaze McKinney on winning tonight! - EP
2/1/18 - Daytona Race Pushed to Monday
Race 1 from Daytona will be pushed back to Monday, February 5th, at 8:30 PM ET. Sorry for the late notice!
1/24/18 - Races 1, 2, and 3 Rescheduled
Race 1 at Daytona, Race 2 at Phoenix, and Race 3 at Fontana have each been pushed back one day from each of their original scheduled dates. Daytona will be run on Saturday, February 3rd at 9 PM ET, Phoenix will be run on Saturday, February 10th at 9 PM ET, and Fontana will be run on Saturday, February 17th at 9 PM ET. I'm sorry if this change collides with anyone's personal schedules. There are still 5 regular season races after these ones that will be run on Fridays.
1/22/18 - MENCup2017 Will Still be Used
Despite the release of the MENCup2018 mod from Splash N' Go Graphics, we will continue to use the MENCup2017 mod. This is to avoid confusion and avoid back-tracking. Also, due to everyone renaming their folders, we believe this is the easier option. The MENCup2018 mod may be used in the following season, assuming there is a following season.
1/11/18 - Discord Added as a Necessity for All Drivers
To make communication in-race as easy as possible, Discord will be used. It is a free chat program we will use during races. If you don't have a microphone, that's okay, as long as you can listen to the communication during the race. A link to join the EP Server has been sent to all current drivers via email. Please download this program as soon as convenient.
1/10/18 - Google Calendar added to "Schedules" Tab
I have added a Google Calendar to this site under the "Schedules" page. This calendar includes the full schedule for this season, amongst other things. Any schedule changes will first be made to the calendar, and then be announced on this newsletter and on the Instagram DM.
1/8/18 - IMPORTANT, ALL DRIVERS MUST DO THIS
To make sure we all connect to the server, it is vital that all members do this. First, open up the following file destination: Papyrus/Nascar Racing 2003 Season/series . Next, if you still have the "cup" folder, rename that to "cuporiginal". If you haven't downloaded the MENCup2017, please do so before continuing. Once you have that, rename the "MENCup2017" folder to "cup". Finally, open the folder, and rename the MENCup2017.dat file to cup.dat. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the Instagram DM or send an email my way.
1/7/18 - "Tracks" Download Folder Deleted, Links to Tracks Added
After finding some problems with the DropBox "tracks" folder, I've decided to delete it and replace it with a document containing links to all of the track downloads. There have also been some track changes made, so if you have downloaded any tracks from the original DropBox folder, please delete those tracks and download them from the links provided on the document. Sorry for the inconvenience!
1/6/18 - Official 2018 Schedule Released, Subject to Change
The official schedule for the 2018 Elly Productions Cup Series has been released. As of now, the races will take place weekly on Fridays from February 2nd to May 11th. Any schedule changes will be released as a news update and will be communicated to the series group chat. All tracks on this schedule can be found and downloaded under the "downloads" tab.
1/5/18 - All Tracks for the 2018 Season have been Uploaded
All 15 tracks that will be used for the 2018 Nr2003 Elly Productions Online Series have been uploaded to the "Tracks" DropBox folder. To download, navigate to the "Downloads" tab and click the link to the "tracks" Dropbox. Then, extract and implement each track folder into the file destination, Papyrus/Nascar Racing 2003 Season/tracks .
1/4/18 - New NR2003 Online League Coming Soon
I will announce this later on Instagram and soon enough, YouTube, but for now, I want to welcome you to the webpage for the NR2003 Elly Productions Cup Series! I'm hoping to create a series where each racer feels excited to race, and win or lose, had fun. I believe that a lot of current NR league managers are too lenient towards poor sportsmanship and reckless behavior. My goal is to enforce good sportsmanship from every driver, and make the racing experience as enjoyable for everyone as possible. I can't wait for the racing season to begin, and I hope you guys enjoy the Elly Productions Cup Series!
