Tonight while playing GPM, I was "racing" at Suzuka and a weird thing
happened.
Hill was leading by about 13 sec. and Coulthard was 7th in the pack of
cars, then whle Hill was in the Spoon curve, Coulthard was somewhere under
the bridge ( or overpass). Next thing I saw that DC was leading Hill by
about 7 sec. I kinda liked it, to have my cars 1-2, but at the end of the
race DC lapped the field and Hill was 5th. Hill was about to gain another
couple points when with 2 laps before the end of the race Hill's car
entered the bridge and it looked like it "jumped" off the bridge and went
through the Spoon curve again losing 5 places and the lap time was about
2:23:xxx. It's really annoying to see those things happen especially when
it's very costly. Has anyone else experienced this???
  I'm also wondering, is it copletely randomised that your cars sometimes
up to 10 sec. off the pace and sometimes 1 sec. faster than everybody
else? Or does it depend on tracks. I'm using the "Advice" button as a
rookie and the guy says the car is perfect, but the time isn't there.
thanks for reading,

Alexander

I haven't seen that one but then again I've decided to concentrate
on management and not do any of the race sessions. I've seen so
many other bugs that I've started to compile a list, which I will
publish on the web and also send to SH-MPS.

Anyone who has played the game, please send me a list of all
the bugs you've seen so far. Thanks.

Haven't experienced the first problem you had yet, but I guess it
is just another problem to add to the ever increasing list :-(

Another problem I have found along a similar vein, is that although
my two drivers are both similar in quality, number 2 will always
qualify very low in the field, even if I swap the drivers over,
the number 2 will still be about ten places behind number 1. Is
this just me? Or has any one else found this problem (and a
solution).

Cheers

Adrian
