I don't think it's a rally driver so it's not Kankkunen, Mäkinen, Grönholm or any of those guys. It can't be Häkkinen or Rosberg either. That would be too good to be true...!! It can't be Mika Salo since he's busy with NASCAR. The only flying finn left I can think of is Jyrki Järvilehto. Not sure if he can be described as "world-famous" but that would be my guess.

I'm leaning towards Juha Kankkunen because he was a rally champion, and rally drivers 'fly' and a lot of people suspect that the new RTR game is a rally game.

And what do we know about simbin? They are past masters at underwhelming. "Project Niki Taki Toki" - Forums "ooh, it could be F1, it could be HD super douper new graphics and physics engine...it could be GTR3" Or it could be the same crappy 5 year old engine with a few nondescript Volvos in it. Or it could be a buggy 360 game. I suspect, as usual, the ability for folk to imagine something far greater than they can deliver will still apply now...just don't get too excited.
