I believe there's a file called Creating Mods.txt in the New Star GP program folder.

Here's the contents of the file:

To create a mod for New Star Grand Prix, please follow these instructions...

- Create a new folder in My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/.
Give the folder a name that you wish to use for your mod.

- Copy the folder My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Database into YourModFolder.
- Copy the folder C:/Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Settings into YourModFolder.
- Create a new folder in YourModFolder and name it Media.
- Copy the folder C:/Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Media/Backgrounds into YourModFolder/Media.
- Copy the folder C:/Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Media/Cars into YourModFolder/Media.
- Copy the folder C:/Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Media/Teams into YourModFolder/Media.
- Copy the folder C:/Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Media/Tracks into YourModFolder/Media.

You should now have the following folders...

> My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/YourModFolder/Database
> My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/YourModFolder/Media/Backgrounds
> My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/YourModFolder/Media/Cars
> My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/YourModFolder/Media/Teams
> My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/YourModFolder/Media/Tracks
> My Documents/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/YourModFolder/Settings

- Use SQLiteBrowser to edit the NSGP.db and rename teams and drivers.
Do not rename the database file.

- Replace the images in Media/Backgrounds with your own images using the same file names.

- Use a paint program to edit the car images in Media/Cars.
You can edit the stats of the sports cars in Cars.ini
You can edit the colours used for the collision debris in Colours.ini

- Use a paint program to edit team logos in Media/Teams

- Use a paint program to edit the track images in Media/Tracks
If you want to use modified tracks, place the trk files in Media/Tracks and name them Track_1.trk through to Track_17.trk.

- You can edit Settings.ini if you wish using NotePad.


Notes
-----
-Leaderboards will be disabled if you use a mod.
-Mods can have up to 12 teams with 2 drivers per team.
-If you redesign the cars and don't want turning wheels delete the Wheel.png image from the Cars folder in your mod.
-If you create new tracks name them Track_1, Track_2 and so on, then place them in Mods/YourModFolder/Media/Tracks.
