Hmm, while Adrian Fernandez won his first race in Toronto a couple years
ago, he wasn't involved in Jeff Krosnoff's accident.  It was Stefan
Johansson who moved over on Krosnoff and started what was one of the most
horrific shunts I've ever seen.

I agree - I had a crash yesterday in the Ferrari with another Ferrari
driver (think it was Parkes) at Spa and we were both "killed". It was
all my fault, and I felt guilty. This sim sucks you in like no other.
I've not even driven the wrong way yet - normal crashes are so ***
that there really is no need. Have you seen Dave Mansells 160mph+
crash at Spa? My god...

No, is there a website with a replay?  I rarely turn on "Realistic" damage,
so I don't see broken wheels and fires when I crash.

Yes...it is a gross error in the simulation programming.
