Yes I noticed too.. very interesting!

I'm a huge F1 fan. I only wish the series would return to Indianapolis, as it was only a 4 hour drive from my house.

Instead of waiting for BoB we could drive a few rounds of F1 Championship Edition. Add a little more wing and we all get airborne...

If that's an idea I'll be more than happy to get things moving.
