I like the map but not the Mercedes, specially the W25. Why choose a car that was developed with financial support from Hitler?


What about VW Beetles in racing games?

Well, it's the original "Silver Arrow" (the one where they removed the paint because it was too heavy) and pretty iconic. Do you think that it's distasteful of Mercedes to use silver Formula 1 cars today?

Maybe I should've been more clear in my first post. The issue with the W25 is that the government handed money to German car manufacturers because they wanted to use (their victories in) car racing as a way to promote their German superiority propaganda (racism). This isn't the case of the VW Beetle.

EDIT - That being said, I'm fine with cars like the W25 or the Auto Union C in games like Forza or GT, they're part of motor racing history. But as one of the only three real life cars which are already out of place in a game with fantasy cars? No.
