ok, you can, but...
You need to edit the file first and add the following after the Notes="":
CreatedBy="Gunthar Rowe"
Car="Saleen S7R"
So you will end up looking something like this at the top of the file:
[GENERAL]
Notes=""
CreatedBy="Gunthar Rowe"
Car="Saleen S7R"
Symmetric=0
CGRightSetting=0
CGRearSetting=0
WedgeSetting=0
FrontTireCompoundSetting=0
RearTireCompoundSetting=0
FuelSetting=22
NumPitstopsSetting=4
You need to put you name in and the correct car model, but these can be found in a stock svm file.
