I found another bug on the N2 patch.  This time is the yellow flag.  Sometimes
it won't wave after you pick up the caution

I noticed this at some tracks before the patch.

Is this different behavior than pre-patch? The rule in NASCAR (real
life) is that you "take the yellow" the first time you cross S/F while
the yellow is out. The rule in the game is the leader of the race
takes the yellow the first time he crosses S/F, and then each car
takes the yellow the first time he crosses AFTER the leader has
already taken the flag. This implies that you can (often) cross S/F
line twice before seeing the waving yellow flag.

You cant see it more than twice...if you cross it and keep going you WILL
get the yellow the next time...this works the same in nascar....the leader
has to take the yellow, thats where you get the race back to teh yellow
e***ment.Lapped cars love this time...I haven't seen it work other than
teh correct way...it would be screwed up if you saw the flag twice and
still didn't get the yellow...but you should at most get it on the second
pass by.
