From the world of Aussie V8 Supercars. The Daily Planet sounds innocent enough(I thought it was a newspaper) but it is a brothel! The owner John Trimbole decided to go racing and had a family that was well known to be big players in the underworld crime scene. In fact he later changed his name to 'Trimble' so he wouldn't be associated with his uncle "Aussie Bob Trimbole" one of Australia's most wanted men at one stage (heroin and marijuana dealer). The team lasted a few years from my memory.

The best part was the ladies that used to drape themselves on the car for photos complete with T-Shirts with the slogan 'We are Rooting for John'! Ha!

Although the Wii is not the first console that comes to mind when I think of racing games -other than Mario Kart of course!- this one was funny to see.
