Why is there only 18 'named' riders in this sim/game? Were EA unable to get permission to 'use' other rider's names? It seems a waste of time to have more than 18 riders, if you are unable to add the names of the riders you wish to race against. Has anyone found a way to add riders to the 18 named riders in this sim? Permanently? What about changing the 'un-named' bikes to a different manufacturer? TIA for any info. -- Rob.

Every meeting has local riders. They could of used the entry list from the 1997 events. I can't see a local rider getting upset about his name being advertised around the world (although some of the "locals" are now full time SBK or AMA Superbike contestants.) However they would of had to use different skins for the bikes. I think if they use a local riders name they would be upset if they were pictured riding a bike with rival sponsorship. Even made up names would of been preferable!
