File / coding guru needed

Howdy!
This is really OFF TOPIC, but I'm really confused about a bunch of files.
The files are from Rally Trophy (racing sim by BugBear, year 2001) and they control where the car resets after a crash etc.
I got this much info about them from a guy who supposedly knows about them, but he says he can't remember more: "...There are no resetpoints. Only resetmap. It is a image file. You can draw it to look like your track. ...It might be packed and in ***.RAW format..."
What I've managed to figure out, amounts to very little:
looks like the file is arranged in 64 bytes long sentences(?), bytes 80 3F marking end or startpoint of each sentence(?). Inside each sentence(?) there are four series of bytes (each 12 bytes long, or 16 bytes if you count those 00 00 00 00 in the series too). I've tried to open the file(s) as .raw image, but never got anything readable out of it.
Here:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/jouniku/RTstuff/
is a .zip (reset1.zip) which includes one of those .bin files and a .tga imagefile. If the .bin really is a (possibly packed) .raw image, it should resemble or contain somtehing like the .tga.
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thanks.
