Let me miss the point once again:
I was driving a suzuki swift. Then I played GT1. after trying a lot of cars, I decided that the MA70 supra (the 87-93 version) would be the coolest car to buy if I wanted a race car. So I traded the suzuki in on a toyota supra, lo and behold, GT2 comes out a month later, and the baddest car in GT2 is a damn Suzuki.
Sega bought an exclusive for the rights to the racetrack 'Daytona Speedway' last I heard, Sega's Daytona is the only game to feature the track. ATTENTION AUTOMAKERS: Never sign an EXCLUSIVE agreement with a video game company...
EA sucks at making driving games. They bought out the 3DO rights to 'Need For Speed.' If you haven't noticed, Need for speed was awesome. Need For Speed II was good. Then EA got ahold of NSF and NSF III sucked, then NSF IV Porsche sucked...
EA may be able to make a football game, but their racers suck.
