Why Indy 500 was not ported to the Saturn ?

			When I'm playing Indy 500 on Elsemi's emu, I'm really wondering why that game was not ported to the Saturn it had his place like Daytona USA. For sure some of the other model 2 games deserved to be released on Saturn but it didn't happen. Maybe some of them were cancelled ?

Maybe the model 2 hardware was too different to the Saturn one, so the effort needed for a port might have been too much.

			There was also Super GT which was quite fun in my opinion that never saw the light of day outside of the arcades. D'oh.

Well many Model 2 were ported like Daytona Sega Rally, Sega Touring Car, etc so why not this one. Maybe it had not enough success in the Arcade places to be ported. Also it's maybe the fastest Model2 game and the Saturn wasn't able to handle such speed.
