I did. It was done in the first step. Real life team names from 1998 had even already been stored in the game data and just had to be moved to the certain offset. Then using info from wikipedia I changed the drivers names accordingly.
Then people wanted the most recent season instead, that's where we are now.
The game was released in 2001, three years after the season 1998', which fake names were based on, so there is no specific "era" to be found anyways.
I personally like it the way it is now(aside from the 1998 Arrows Team that has no 2017 replacement), since I never was a big M.Schmidke, ehem, Michael Schumacher fan
