(To change driver or team names, or change the logos of the teams, follow these steps):
1. Go to New Star GP in your Steam Library
2. Click on the cog or right click on the name of the game in the list and select Manage > Browse Local Files
3. The CustomData.txt template file is in the "release" subfolder.
4. Follow the instructions in that file and save the edited version OUTSIDE the "release" subfolder, along with any custom logos you want the game to use. This protects your changes from being overwritten by Steam's file validation.
That’s it!
