This is great and more realistic (except you can't see your speed or RPMs.)
Does anyone know if the final version will have the speedometer and tach. on
the dash? I sure hope so.

If it is so critical, tell me why real life race cars don't have them.

It's not "absolutely critical". Steering is critical, brakes are critical, a
speedo is "useful".

Malc's right - it's certainly not critical but very useful. I think F1 cars
have them, don't they? You can use the taco to see if you're on the pace of
course, but glancing at a speedo is usually more helpful. The reason that
most race cars don't bother with them is that they're usually minimalist and
don't want the extra fluff of a speedo.

But yeah, a speedometer in a race car is as much use as a CD player or a
cupholder.
The front of the GTi looks very much like a Pulsar to me.

That's the tough-guy race driver thing to say, eh?
