MCRae Rally: A Disappointment!

Hi!

  The Colin MCRae Rally as a game is FAR FROM a dissappointment, its the
greatest non-concrete-track car simulation forever.
  But I really cant understand why the only scandinavian nationality in the
game is Swedish. CODEMASTERS dont know much about rally as a sport?
  Tommi Makinen, Juha Kankkunen, Ari Vatanen, Markku Alen, Henri Toivonen,
Timo Salonen... Most of the World Champions in last 10-15 years being Finnish,
you still cant be Finnish in the game. Like in a football(soccer) game you
would not be able to choose the British/English nationality but there would be
possibility to choose Icelandish:-)

  The (internet accesses / capita)  rate is biggest in Finland and the
'computerization' rate is quite good here too (2nd,3rd? in the World
after USA). Maybe 10 % of all rally simulation users live here?
At least there are three times as many rally players here in Finland
than in Sweden.

So,
    Fix it! Finn it! Win it!

Tommi Makkinen Rally, published by Europress, per chance?

The only bad thing about that game is that its completely shite, despite
our hero Tommi M?kinen endorsing it.

Never, EVER, believe a professional racer... ;^

J.Herbert, Newman/Haas, Rahal, the "sims" behind the names were all,
well,
not fullfilling...
