more complicated with all the additional data processed for each car - ie
6dof, and all the different modeling for each car and setup - individual
tire suspension modeling, etc etc.
Certainly I am no programmer, but just seems to me with the difference in
physics between N2/3 it would be considerably more complicated.
My favorite save game feature was the original with N1. It actually dropped
you back on the track for a yellow flag lap for the position you were in,
and then went green again. I never much cared for the save game added to N2,
it would drop you back full speed and if you were running realistic weather,
it would usually change on you.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.
