Not having night time racing in Le Mans 24 hour is fail fail fail fail in terms of realism.

I'm referring to how a car behaves. Car behaviour >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> looks of the game. Because if night racing is implemented. You then have the track cooling down. Maybe from 30 to 18. This agian makes the handling of a car change completely. Braking zones change, accelerating changes as does race lines. It's not like you can just implement something like night racing unless you can replicate the changes realistically. Night Racing isn't just about it going dark. It changes your driving completely.

Don't bother trying to educate them mate, they honestly do not understand what a racing simulator should be.  Having spent so long building a accurate tyre model for FM3, I don't blame T10 for not wanting to ruin all the hard work by adding "basic" wet weather physics like every other racer has.  No console racer will accurately model water physics well enough to make a accurate driving simulator in wet weather conditions.  If you want to model wet weather you have to factor in a entire physics model of its own, or go the PGR way and just reduce the friction coefficient and pretend the car has less grip due to rain.  This isn't simulation then.

Not having night time racing in a 24 hour event is silly though Selnor so it's a fair point but hardly game breaking. 

Fancy a bet Carl, I'll bet you $1000 that Forza Motorsport 3 scores better on Metacritic 4 weeks after the release of GT5 in all regions.  I'm that confident FM3 will not be the massive failure that your supposed impartial opinion seems to think.  Seems a fairly safe bet to me for you to win given you and others comments in here.
