I listened to the trailer again, and, yep, there are the drums. Not sure what I was thinking of during the first lap. Maybe I was racing along some memory laps? Note the spelling of that last phrase and grin at the terrible play on words. Anyway, in your reply to several questions, you stated, "Well, as is stated on the web site there is only one difficulty level. So if you want the turn indicators disabled they will have to be disabled in the options menu. Does that sound agreeable?" My response is, You bet it is. Thanks.
