CARINF.DAT

Path: CARINF.DAT (disc root) Format: Compressed GT-ARC (mangled @(#)GT-A / RC style header possible)

Role

Car information database: performance SPEC records, part tables (brakes, gears, suspension, tyres, …), and string tables (maker, model, grade, aspiration, layout).

GTExplorer

Opened via the Car Database canvas for browsing and light editing of tables; joins SPEC rows to part codes where possible.

Notes

  • SPEC records are fixed-size binary rows (dense fields: power, torque, weight, dimensions, gear ratios, etc.).
  • Part tables use short codes that embed the car code for joining.
