Well I guess the first thing I learned was that the brakes on those old cars,
while poor enough on the track, don't work worth a damn when you are upside
down!

LOL, press raise arm while upsidedown looks to be trying to push car up and
back over. LOL

I have noticed that when the car is upside down with one rear tire
touching the ground and you step on the gas the tire that is not on the
ground spins faster. Is this because the program is actually simulating
a differential with limited slip to the rear wheels?

Hmm, nice observation! :-)

If you post that over on the GPL Forum you may get an answer from Mike
Lescault or Doug Arnao - I'm not sure how much of the detail is fixed
and should be announced just now.

Cheers!

Glad I'm not the only one who spends lots of time upside down:)
