	Pete,

	1) The 3rd party car/driver editor software (f1ed12.zip on
	   wuarchive.wustl.edu) removes restrictions on driver aids
	   at all levels, as well as allowing you to edit car colours,
	   power attributes, and driver capabilities. Its a great
	   piece of software, and is provided free by the author
	   (who is Finnish, I believe).

	2) You will almost certainly find that learning to shift yourself
	   gives you a needed edge at the higher levels. You can configure
	   the gear shift selectors to be joystick buttons, or use the mouse
	   buttons. I currently use a joystick for steering, rudder pedals
	   for gas/brakes, and the mouse buttons (under my left hand) for
	   upshift/downshift. The ultimate solution is probably to buy
	   the CH Flightyoke, and use the under-the-thumb fire buttons
	   to change gears.
