One regret of mine is that I don't recognize the racers, so I assume that they're made up. I wish that Nintendo had actual racers to give it some sense of realism, and while, yes the physics are all real and so are the tracks (for the most part), I still don't feel that this game takes place in any specific part of the world. I really can't explain why, but I like my sim-racers to involve something familiar in day-to-day life. Aside from the above comment, everything else about this game is great and worth scrounging around a flea-market for.
