I don't play many racing games and i've only played the Time Trial challenge and I haven't even played Forza 3 (just watched my brother play a lot). After messing up a race I went for the select button and realized that this game doesn't have rewind. Does anyone think that this game needs it. Like I said I don't play these games often and I feel like that is a feature that should be in every simulation style game from now on. Just sayin'.

1000+ cars does sound pretty awesome.

I agree it should be in every racing game from now on.  I might even use it just because I do hate missing a turn on the last lap or something.  I don't mind either way.

When the idea of the game is to perfect your ability to control a car on a track having rewind just waters down the need for any ability at all.  I imagine Polyphony are not entirely in line with that sort of thinking. 
 
On the other hand if a game can offer something that pleases fans as an option, perhaps it should.  Those who think it silly can ignore it and it broadens the player base. 
 
Personally I am in favour of choice so long as it does not water down the game, but damn, games are too pandering and easy these days.  It seems many developers are scared of creating a challenge just incase they offend some kids who can't play. 
 
So uh, my opinion is no on rewind.  It is not needed at all, but the option would not be detrimental.

After reading some of the replies I understand why PD wouldn't put that in. I guess I could sum it up by saying, Rewinding wouldn't make it the real driving simulator.

I wonder if a "release the full game" feature will be included before 2011.

I think it will still be a good game without a rewind feature, but it was one of my favorite additions to G.R.I.D and Forza 3. I think it is a feature that the hardcore can ignore and the more casual players can really benefit from. It's a 'if you don't like it, don't use it' kind of feature. I really like using it because I hate losing a race because I overshoot one turn, but I know some people enjoy losing when they screw up, and with a rewind feature both types of players can enjoy the game.
