I posted a replay in alt.binaries.simulators.autos for Brands Hatch...

I counted 27 complete rolls!

Rob - I'm not misusing the game, honest - I just got fed up of trailing
a damaged car around at the back of the field!

Misusing the game, I did 29 at Mexico City once, but the replay file got
corrupted.  I do believe I have a replay of a 27 roll crash though.  Maybe I'll
go for the big 30 today.  :)

Does that mess up your suspension?

I've got one I call "How I Killed Jim Clark".  Not a lot of rolls, but he
does travel a good distance on his head (so do I for that matter).  I'd
gotten out of shape coming out of the esses at Watkins Glen and had to slow
down just on the downward slope leading up to the first hard braking area.
Unfortunately, I just as I got it straightened out, Clark came over the rise
at speed.  The result was rather...messy, although the replay is stunning
(particularly when I noticed Clark's car getting on the binders in an
attempt to miss me).

Great post!

I once got that neck-hair-raising shudder when suddenly my pit-board
man located him self on the track right in front of me at Monza.

I inadvertently killed my teammate Mike Parkes once at Monza.  I was
passing him on the left as we approached the tunnel under the banking,
then, he wasn't there anymore!  Saw little bits of stuff flying around
on the other side of the tunnel in my mirrors as I approached Ascari.
Actually felt a spontaneous pang of guilt...  

GPL can be spooky sometimes in the emotions it can make you genuinely
feel.  It's just so immersive.  Like the time I mowed down part of the
crowd behind the hay bales at Watkins Glen...

Does anyone know if it's possible to end up in the harbour at Monaco?
(I expect this question has been asked before!)

Some of us tried this for weeks when GPL first came out. Alas it's not
possible. There is one of those invisible walls in the way.

Slightly off topic - I did manage to get into the harbour in F1 2000, then
drove *under* a yacht and down the coast for about 10 seconds before the
game dumped me back onto the circuit.

I would have done it at *least* three times - without even TRYING...<g>

Hey Rob, are you aware of the sports training concept of
visualization ? I wouldn't want that stunt into my head just
before getting on the track in a real racecar ;-)
