Don't forget commentators, too. After spectator racing, it would be interesting to implement
a pit crew (seriously). These guys would be moving around at the pit stop as if they're in a
FPS game, and have to service their team's car as fast as they can. Running over a pit crew
would be interesting, I must admit. ;-)
