"natural site" means a nudist camp, you idiot, not a rainforest. Some people!

Fairer rules than what? And yes, let's reward a driver on the pole, say, with $15,000, dinner at Friendly's, and a 20-second head start. > > > >Thanks to technology developed by Ubi Soft, the game will have the latest > >in technical and graphics innovations that very few automobile simulation > >games have had so far.

I'm certain the sim will have a track within a nudist camp, with the spectators and maybe even the pit crew completely naked. That must be what "natural site" means, it's only common sense. Whereas a rainforest or stonehenge would be ridiculous.
