Oh - I set all my best laps like that, on all tracks. If all wheels are
off track, I don't even count it.

In fact, I also *race* like that. I've won more than 100 online GPL
races driving like that, and not in one replay will you see my car ever
leave the track, or spin.

(It's a tic, I know - the result of my start in racing, aeons ago. I was
doing r/c racing at the time, and our "asphalt" track was very rough and
set in a grass field. Once you dared to go off, you were basically out,
stuck in sand or grass, and no one would put you back into the race.

That's when I learned the "to finish first you gotta first finish" rule
- the hard way. Now I can't drive otherwise anymore...  ;) )

Nice improvement in such a short time!
