I asked the same question in the General Discussion forum and was told the Bomb Shelter pack got hit with a DMCA and was taken down. I saw a comment on a Wreckfest video on YouTube that NASCAR came after them for their Watkins Glen track and the whole thing got taken down.

It must of happened in the last few days because I just ran their Canyon Run track a few days ago

that's a shame, thank you so much though

Wow I'm surprised that it was NASCAR the entire time (I thought it was either Disney or Nintendo since they're usually the ones that are trigger-happy with taking stuff down), and that it was only for a single track. Good to know the actual reason it was taken down though.

EDIT: Turns out it wasn't NASCAR who took down the mod, nor was it because of a track. It was the developer of the Formula Vector mod for Assetto Corsa since TBSC used formula models from that mod. Ed Soundhead was notified by the developer through email so it can be assumed they were the one that filed the DMCA against the mod.

This is not true, as you'd expect from a YouTube comment, it is unknown who filed the claim currently

My guess it would be Disney for the McKing car. It had no modifications to it, including the decals on the car. Knowing how DMCA happy Disney is, i was shocked when i first saw the car in the modpack.

Edit: this modpack definitely needs to come back with more edits than just slight name changes. Copyright can also apply to looks and design of something too.

The tracks on the other hand, might need to be uploaded on their own since they are extremely high quality and definitely wouldn’t be the problem since NASCAR would have to come to every single mod on here and in every other racing game on PC that has NASCAR tracks and cars, so they are less likely to be the one responsible for the DMCA, unless there’s something in the game that they don’t like for their brand.

As stated in Roadfreak's post edit above, it was the Formula car model (which was reportedly swiped from an Assetto Corsa modder) that got the copystrike. But I'd also be wary of Disney and Nintendo because they're also pretty trigger-happy about DMCA claims too. I've never heard of NASCAR copyright-claiming any tracks replicated in any games.

It would be nice to see some of the Bomb Shelter race tracks return to the Workshop if F-Bomb ever decides to upload them again, though. He'd likely have to rename the track files on his Lakeside track (as it had previously caused conflicts with a similarly-named track in KS' Circuit 199 track pack), however.

Yeah the McKing and the Mario kart didn't fit the aesthetic of this game anyways. Very out of place.
