Could someone explain me, what happens when I overtake in Grand Prix 2 at
high speed at straights? Often my car starts to bounce in sideways direction
and I drive into spinning, and off the track. I guess this is some
turbulence effect? I guess I should increase my downforce or keep more
distance to the car I am overtaking.

In a simpler explanation, it happens at slow speed, go behind a big
truck at 120 kph, get real close on a windy day, and all of a sudden
change your lane real quick, you'll notice a sudden rush of air
pushing your car. On a motorcycle the effect is even more pronounce.
BTW, If you increase your car downforce (in your sim) the effect will be
even greater, but since you have more wings, you might not loose it
completely.

Thanks. I drive with the keyboard. I guess I'll just have to buy a steering
wheel. Meanwhile, I can just keep a distance to the car I am overtaking at
high speeds.
