For the same reason that most games don't enforce the 107% rule. People might
get pissed if they couldn't play a game they paid good money for...
That's one of the reasons I hate games that make you 'unlock' cars or tracks.
I paid for the game, dammit - give me everything I'm supposed to have...

Are there any for Gran Tourismo, for the original playstation? I haven't found

I like that..you could bundle two sims in one. "GP2.6" and "Orthopedic
Surgeon, the Simulation." Maybe we could get Murray to do commentary while
the Good Doctor is cutting away your damaged goods.

I definitely don't care for simulating injury. I'd never get to drive
more than once... :)

Couldn't tell you. I don't do consoles.

I saw recently....can't remember where, they were saying that if/when a
driver has to take a leak, he does it in his suit and the heat in the
***pit dries it up by the end of the race.
