I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I realized that the Monkeys already have the code for a Practice Mode in the game, however it is locked away in the Party Play mode of the game.

From the Game Manual: Party Play:

''The Party Play screen allows you to create a customized Cup-style race by selecting a car, circuit and the number of laps. You may choose from any of the cars you already own and select any track in the game. For the sake of competition, all players will be racing with the same car with an equal PR rating... You do not earn any rewards or Fame when racing in Party Play, neither will you need to service your cars.''

How hard would that be for the Numbkeys to activate for a single player as a practice mode? Seriously. An afternoon of coding? A week of testing?

All they would need to add is a setting to choose the number of bot competitors in the race (0-21 and maybe with a difficulty setting or being able to choose from the bots that they have already made, ie race Dr. Perriwinkel, Auralpod, Magnus, Norm, etc.), grid position (what is it like to start from Pole, fifth, tenth, etc)., and possibly choose between Time Trials (No Offs or Collision) and Cups, Rolling Starts, and on tracks that have it, time of day.

Seriously, how much goodwill would they create with their players if they made this a reality?
