The screenshot in the lower right corner of the ad shows what looks to be
the starting grid at PIR.  The problem is that the cars look like they
have speedway wings on the rear!  (Should be road course wings for the 1
milers).  Although the picture is a little too small to tell 100%, its got
me a little worried.

Because of magazine lead times, we had to take the screen shots before the
road cars were ready. In the release version, the road cars appear on
every track except Michigan, where the speedway cars are used.

       While not having seen the final product, I will remind you that
Indycar 1.0 used roadcourse wings for all tracks.  That is only for the
graphics though, your setup determines how much downforce will be exerted
by the wings.  Thus if you choose a low downforce setup, your, in effect,
choosing speedway wings.  But the replay graphics still show your car as
having roadcoarse monster wings....I'll take a look at the add and see
what gives....see ya!
