I really liked your whole post, but this is so TRUE for me.

One of (not the MOST important) best features of a game, the ability to "TEST" your cars........
G O N E !!
How the **** does that make sense??

The VERY first Test course (GT1 - GT2) was, and still IS, the best test track ever in the game in my opinion (note, I said MY opinion)...I think the 10million mile oval is lame, I go to sleep waiting to get to the end of a straight.
Ok, time to show my red face again....

So over the weekend I actually played some more, finally opening up the Super License..Wow, disappointing?????
YES!
Prior to that, I was "made sit and watch" their ending movie? WTF?

No ability to stop that????
And to find what? Is it NINE races??? 3 "STARS" a piece = 27 STARS!
Another WOW moment...

NINE freaking races, the longest being 24 minutes.

Not even a Championship in it.

you PD!
Edit:
Just added my tick of approval to VBR's list of improvements, sorry I hadn't seen that before.
