VDrift Graphical Upgrades

i'm thinking maybe under each car we have a /blend directory.

and the cars.vdrift.net will be just to download the cars without the .blend files. in the interest of saving a little bandwidth.

there could be some usage license ramifications with have rim and car .blend files around for the taking. really the .joe files offer the same thing, but it's a little more of a process to use them.

does anyone have any thoughts on this? or is it mostly a "if a car author tells us to stop, we will"


on a more technical note:
most cars will be able to do just fine with a rim.joe and a rim.png in their directories. 'cause the game engine will be able to resize them just fine. but the tyrell will probably need a special case for the front rims to look pass-able. not really sure, most cars don't have anywhere near that kind of size difference.
