One thing I've noticed with the GP, and the Nascar Sport, is that I
_think_ the pots are different than the TMPro and Nascar Pro.

Something is different.  I can always tell the difference in a wheel
when exiting turn 2 at Taladega in Nascar Racing II or 1999.  It's hard
to explain.  I've got over 40,000 laps at that track, and I've got my
drift out at that track down to perfection, and if I change to certain
wheels, I nose out way too soon and end up brushing the wall...

Go figure :)
