In racing games like Gran Turismo, they use some kind of metric like "power points" or something that artificially limits your ability to go nuts in cars. This is fine for multiplayer. But it doesn't make sense in single player. If I want to brute force my McLaren F1 into winning the UK cars cup I should be able to. If I want to take my 1,000 HP Miata and destroy the cars in the first races, I should be able to. In single player, let me play like I want to.
