Warlock!
This is based on the observation of somebody, who drove onto the bridge of
Silverstone during a race. The AI cars running under the bridge tried to
dodge him. (I haven't tried this little experiment, but I think it is true).
*BUT*, running over an object in the same track section as the AI is a
different story than actually being in a totally different track section
than the AI (as you were at the crossing in Monza). I don't believe that the
AI could 'see' you there. So I'm very optimistic, that a 'banked Monza' *can
be done* in GPL.
BTW, I've just started writing an editor for *.trk files (which contain the
physical layout of a track) just out of interest. If somebody had the
knowledge of creating a track.3do file (which seems to be a *** thing) out
of a *.trk file, that would be a *big* step towards a working track editor.
Sadly, all track editor projects seem to be dead. I only know two sites,
which contain infos about track editing and both weren't updated for months:
Paul Hoad's Track Editor Project and Phil Flack's GPL File Formats.
Does anybody know more sites with good infos about that?

Nope, but I've flipped over the wall at the Loop at Watkins...<g>

And, no, you can't re-created this in GPL. I had a similar accident once and
as I was hurtling towards the Mediterannean, I hit an invisible force-field
that kept me dry. Bummer.
This race was was just shown on Speedvision's "Legends of Motorsport" a
couple of weeks ago (my cable TV supplier just added Speedvision in
September!). They didn't get the actual off on film, but they did show the
aftermath a few seconds later. Frogmen who were standing by, jumped in,
butAscari swam to a nearby yacht,

Speaking of the Ring, have any of you seen that new Saturn commercial
where they test drive a Saturn at the Ring? There's not a ton of
footage, but they do show the car being driven through the Carousel (or
perhaps the Little Carousel).
