Yeah, it will really cool have those scenes in Mental Ray.
My Brazil render plugin its a little buggy.

yes please 
I love the look of candy paint ^^
I have always use Mental Ray. All of my renders were done in Mental Ray. I done them that way because I don't have to worry about compactability of materials etc.
Update,i've been working on the render kit,and found a better way to do lighting,heres few examples

not like that, just a little more reflection, and a little less glossines and maybe some bumpmap for the road cars
I say The car paint....
My render was a test. I dont have a good enviroment and no reflection (only fresnel)

The metallic paint effect is too strong/noisy...
May be reduce your car paint's flakes setting.
The paint is too much noisy
Looks good, I suggest to add more light on the sides of the cars (at least to see the rims)
Everyone that has 3DS Max and wants to render things but has no Brazil.
I for one would have lots of "happy time" with anybody who made a Mental Ray Lfs Scenes Kit
XRG and XRR still to do

Nice work and big contributions to the LFS community 
Sorry I have a few comments...I hope you don't mind.
I have only downloaded and looked at the FZR settings. To my opinion, it is a bit dark, especially on the side and rims.
The map used on the skylight doesn't do much in this setting, because it is not using that image for environment reflection. It can do with just adjusting the colour of the skylight. Also I have notice that you have used 'screen' for the 'environ mappings', you should use either spherical or cylindrical for proper wrap around environment.
The rim at the moment is highly reflective raytrace material which only reflecting what the ground colour is, so if the ground is brighter, the rim will look brighter too.
I have replaced it with a Arch & Design material, medium blur glossiness/reflective.
I also replaced the floor with similar material to the rims, but with AO switched on. I have noticed that you have set the FG quite high, but for scene like this, you can reduce it down especially with reflective objects.
That is why I only turned on the AO on ground material, so that it gives a nice soft defused shadow underneth the car to compensate the lower FG details.
Your original file took 5 mins to render, and the modified image took 2.5mins to render. That is the difference it makes.
Anyone who downloaded the files and try to put skins to the car paint material, please remember, to get a good result, add the skin to both 'base colour' and 'light facing colour' slots. To be even better, darken the skin slightly for the 'light facing colour' slot.
My modified file is done in 3ds max 2008, so it is no good for many people. Therefore I will not submit anything up here. Especially bmwe30ms has already done such great work for starter.

I've just downloaded the XRT one and when i open/try to render it asks for a bunch of Map Files. May i ask where i can get these?
And also how can i change the car skin?
