It certainly is.  I just got to wait for my next paycheck!!  <g>

CL>However I did notice a few "undocumented features"

Aren't there always?  <g>

Thats probably the car besides you your seeing.  You most likely pull in
front of him at the start.

CL>2). Coming out of turn 2 at Laguna with most graphic detail off the
  >hill on the left appears as an unsupported sliver of ground from a
  >certain viewing angle.

Also, at the corkscrew, if you turn around like your going to go up the
corkscrew, just behind the sign (which should now be on the left), you
can see underneath the track.  <g>
