that this car gets airborne, and rotates around the x axis without roll or
yaw. Very stable aerodynamics.
They usually show these type of newsbytes on amazing sports incidents,
probably a good chance they will show the accident.
Seeyas on the track.

I really think that the FIA should prevent this things from happening by either
allowing some kind of 'ground-effect' or by allowing wings at the front.

Nothing really, apart from the fact that the vast majority of people in here
have an interest in motorsport that far exceeds the boundaries of the pc
monitor. The general concensus here is that the occasional o/t discussion
relating to current motorsport topics is ok in moderstion.
Of course, nobody is forcing you or anybody else to read this thread!

try Viper Racing !
Get into the *** "hack" car at the Ridge Valley circuit and provided you
get above about 280 km/h on the back straight (just before the last 2
corners) then you should perform the Mercedes "fly by" over the brow.

"This is an unmoderated newsgroup for

Arcade racing simulators, which

of handling of the vehicle, would not be appropriate in this newsgroup,
I guess we have two choices here. We could either
1. Ban discussions involving 75% of the so called sims that pretend to be
realistic or
2. Show a little more tolerance towards the occasional indulgence from a
number of respected posters in this group. People who in the main have
something more constructive to contribute than creating needless tensions!
