We had it in nascar2. The purists out there could turn that "option"
off. Why wasn't this "option" included?

Not to worry, tho -- for the non-purists, there's NFS and F1RS
(duck, run, and cover ;-).

So in Nascar... they have on board telemetry that is "displayed" to
the driver? Do real Nascar drivers view their world at 640x480 or
800x600? Do they have varying frame rates depending on how many cars
are visible at the moment? Have the ability to choose the number of
opponents they want to race against?
It's a game! They could have put the option in. Better yet, they
could have put all that black letter box area to use with race info.
If you didn't like it... you wouldn't have to turn it on.

A Speedo will be less less cheating, because the tach in 640*480...
