Please send all you crash pics and replays to http://www.racesimcentral.net/

The two favorite replays of mine include "Flyalami" where on my
first attempted lap at speed at Kyalami I missed the turn-in
to the final corner, getting onto the grass, and hit this huge
ramp which propelled me skyward.  I landed on the front straight
and slid for like a quarter mile on my roll hoop.  There are so
many sparks generated that even though it's only a 12-second
replay from a training session, it's almost as big as the replay
of a whole lap at Spa.  The other is a replay of a spin at Monza
where I just kiss the guard rail with my left rear on the exit to
Curva Grande, and force the car to spin to avoid going into the
bushes on the left.  As the car comes around, I turn the front
wheels in the opposite direction so they drag across the Tarmac
rather than roll and snap me into a second spin, and I keep on
the gas, and miraculously save it after just one spin, and get
no slower the whole time than 89 mph.  It's quite impressive,
and amazing that I had the presence of mind to do that trick
with the front wheels to slow the rotation of the spin,
considering how fast it all happens.

I'm pretty sure there's an invisible wall there, so it's impossible.

One favorite thing of mine to do, which I haven't saved on a replay
yet, is to go to the first (and best) jump at Nrburgring and tap your
brakes right at the crest.  See how high you can get that tail end up!

Another favorite thing to do is to run a race or practice session at
Silverstone, and drive onto the Bosch bridge, then try to pounce on
the cars below!  I haven't succeeded yet, but if I do, I'll save a
replay of it.
