Yes, I actually did say that. What makes you so surprised about that?

Heh yes... I've got plenty of those hilarious 150mph stunt sequences
too but then, GPL isn't renowned for its accurate damage model (or CC
AI) is it? ;).

Just minutes after sending my post I realized that you just had fun with
this truly unrealistic behaviour of the track marshall. But having read
so many silly posts about minor problems (IMHO) supposedly reducing GP3
to some Mario Racer's sequel, I was getting a little upset.

BTW, I'm as sick as you (still love to do exactly that in GPL and N3
after I screwed up my race). Hey, I'm NOT online, so no death threats.

I don't know about racing but it sure makes one hell of flight simulation
game.  Great to see those flying cars!!!!
