I often felt that way too, but have often left the pit lane hearing one or two
cars go past and as I enter the track seen them driving away, so maybe, maybe
not <G>

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.

Ha ***ing ha.
See my reply to Andre.  It still wouldn't have prevented this particular
accident.  Even if you KNOW there's someone behind you, without seeing him in
the mirrors, you STILL don't know where he is...  So, you can't make a move to
avoid contact.

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

So the AI cars are in 'stealth' mode?<g>  Ok, if you had sounds, you'd know he
was there.  Would that knowledge have prevented him from hitting you?
No, I don't have GP3 yet.  It will be Aug 22 before it's in the States, and
probably another month or two until the price drops enough for me to get it.
Get back to me the 1st of November<g>

I already have enough trouble in the DRY.  :)
On all my racing games, I NEVER turn on the weather.  The sole exception is
SCGT.
