Unused Graphics#

Stored with the graphics of Ivan Stewart used on the pre-race and breakdown screens is an alternate version of his fire suit's neckline, which features the Toyota logo. This being changed is particularly odd, given that Toyota's logo features prominently throughout the game. A mockup of what it would have looked like is below.
