This is the only thing I don't like at SSDF -:) as
it makes no sense in my opinion. If a new and more
powerful Ferrari has bee produced, nobody will be
interested in a race against the old model. What
counts is only the comparison with Sauber, Renault
and so on -:) On the other hand: if it makes fun to
run Shredder8 vs Shredder9, please do not hesitate
to play such matches.
