just out of curiousity, has anyone had the car catch on fire yet?  i had
my fastest lap thus far (1:33) with the car full ablaze, and tried every
f-key combination i could think of trying to catch a screenshot.
driving the car at full blast with flames/smoke pouring out of the
engine is a blast.  even the fire audio effects seem affected by the
speed of the car. (:

though it was kind of odd being able to rip off a personal best while
the entire rear end looked like it was hit by a heat seaking missle.

It won't happen in the full version. The fire (naturally) burns all
your fuel, at which point the engine finds it difficult to keep
running. Of course by this time you'll have pulled over, got out and
run away from your car as a courtesy to other drivers - won't you?

Tsk, driving at 200mph with your car on fire - what would your mother
say? :-)

Cheers!

I have had the engine on fire and I was totally freaked out by it ! !
Accordingly,  I slowed down and waited to see how long it would
burn !  I hit the old Shift-R and the fire disappeared .

I had another engine fire last night !. It seems to happen when you spin and
hit the backend against something like the bridge around Ascari. This Sim
seems to be very very ***ive !
