I'm already happy Wolferl gave permission to use his sound; if Sir Moss responds; wow!

That would be reminiscent of the coolest thing that ever happened in Grand Prix Legends modding. There were no clear photographs of a sign behind the pit building at Monza. It's blue with a knight's helmet on it. We tried guessing at what it says but no one could agree on what was correct or even if the graphic was right. Then someone found out who was in charge of that company's race promotion advertising in 1967 and wrote to him. The guy, long since retired, still had all his original artwork and sent them so we could get the sign right in the game!

Many stories about modding, any modding, some like the above really amazing.

My favorite was about the exact hue of the grey war paint of WWII Japanese Battleship Yamato, one of the two biggest battleships ever.

After a big discussion at the forums, a guy contacted Japanese War department asking of the exact hue.

There was a response but not what they actually expected. More or less was:

"There isnt any EXACT hue, battleships were painted with the paint that was available at the time they docked :S
