This is weird.Sometimes when I drive counterclockwise on the
track(backwards),and i hit a car,that person's car flies backwards at
about 400mph,and sometimes goes out of the track.This is especially true
at Talladega.I'm sure this is a bug,but I wonder how this is caused.

Do you think the programmers sat there and said "You know, I bet
someone will run the tracks backwards, so we'd better test it to be
sure it works."

Doubt it.

Counter-clockwise, Ace.

When my 6 year old gives up on a long null-modem race, sometimes
he takes his frustration out on the field by doing just what you
are talking about.  I can say, without hesitation, that this
play has been well tested at my house without the "out of track"
situation that you are describing.

The only unusual happening that we have noticed is that the damaged
AI cars will disappear off the track at some point in time.

Best wishes!!!
