Guys, my N4 seems to be playing tricks on me - two nights in a row, I've
hosted a team practice, and I've heard another guy's car bottoming. I've
checked the replay, and sure enough, I see the sparks, but when HE looks, he
sees nothing, and he drives straight, saying that he's not bottoming. This
has happened with two separate people, on two separate nights, so it appears
as if it's my version that's at fault....any idea what it could be?

Most likely it's due to a minor warp. The prediction code might project
a sudden speed increase, and on a banked track the resulting centripetal
force could cause the car to bottom out. He wouldn't see it on his end.

All I can tell you is I had that problem for months with one guy who was
connecting via dialup
When he went to cable it went away

I never got an answer from Sierra (duh)
