The MPS web page says cars can catch fire.  Has anyone seen this?
Or is it another "omitted" feature like the rain effects?

Seems you can't go into inverted flight either, so no "Brundles" ...

While a very fun game, the one thing that annoys me is the lack of
front view - you see the***pit but no wheels; there is a huge blind
spot as a result between mirrors and each side.  A ICR-style view
would be much better (or is that unrealistic?).

Of course, 1996 data and netplay would also be nice, but they don't
affect solo gameplay.

Oh yes you can! Or so says my friend and what he doesn't know about crashes
isn't worth to know... A Zanardi flip, if you recall.

Isn't it great to be banging off the wheels of the winner when you've
just been beaten in the race? :):):)

Cheers!

Yes, two possibilities :
- Cars blow up (smoke)
- Cars (engines) BIG blowup (darker smoke, and flames pop out)

Yup...while racing with my son the message appeared he was "out of the
race with an oil leak" during my turn. A replay of his car showed it
pulling off the track on fire with flames coming from the rear !!
