My answer isn't up there as a poll choice. And that answer is... hell :censored:ing yes! Maybe the reason why you can't name your racer is probably for copyright purposes or something. You know, who would want to make a pathetic B-Spec racer and name him (or her) after a real-life racer? This, even though I've raced against AI racers who had names like "D.Hobbs" (David Hobbs?) and "M.Cho" (comedian Margaret Cho?) before? I'd really love to make proper B-Spec racers that I can edit the names to.
But... I guess since B-Spec Racers are meant to be mostly generated, you barely have any control over certain aspects of your B-Spec racers. Maybe this changes in a patch or something...
