wet weather 3rd party add on for gp2

Is there suffient knowledge of gp2 as a program to allow a group of
programmers to patch the game with a wet weather option.

I believe that the reason that wet weather was left out of gp2 is that
it would have sent proc occupancy rocketing when following other cars,
this could have been worked around by:

1) turning spray off
2) having different levels of colours for clouds, track and verges to
represent light and heavy rain.
3) Also the addition of rain tyres

what i am proposing in the first instance is a debate on whether rain
can be added by freeware using the smoke option turned on all the time
to represent spray

I don't think anybody without access to the sourcecode would be able to
write such a patch.
In theory yes, but in practice the manhours, such a patch requires, will be
enormous.
