Good direction for me.

IMHO, we need a "car configuration" menu system (one screen will not be
sufficient) with following features :
- 1 only mandatory screen, as some kind of sum up of what the car is
   (your proposal seems to be a good beginning for it, Brian) :
   * car preview image(s)
   * skin selector (with associated preview images)
   * main figures about the car (engine power, torque (max, curve ?), weight,
     ... etc). For me, the proposed gauges are nice, but we also need real
     figures (on the right ?)
   * of course, the category and car model selection controls,

   Note: When I say "mandatory" menu, I mean that the user has to go through
         it when configuring his race, but that he can ignore the other menus
         (let's stay simple).
- other more detailled menus (the garage in you proposal, Brian ?),
   with bunches of customizable car characteristics.

Cheers,

Jean-Philippe.
