Problem installing track

Hi
I downloaded a fictional oval track from gp4italia to use with the champcar mod, and I installed it following the instruction in the read-me file.
I must have done something wrong, or need to do something else because, I think the track has loaded, but I'm still at Hockenheim (the track it was installed over) I can't seem to move the car and crash into invisible walls, so I guess that the graphic part of the track has loaded, but the game still places me where I'm expected to be originally at Hockenheim.
Can anyone help?

ok, doesn't matter, I fixed the problem.
Now I just need a good oval setup that stops me from spinning everytime I turn a corner

Having same problem, how did you fix it? thanks in advance!

The mod has it's own .dat which is meant for the original Hockenheim, find that .dat in the circuits folder of the mod and replace it with the new .dat file from the oval circuit.
Worked for me, although I'm spinning an awful lot!

It worked, thanks for you reply!
