Hi all,

This is for the eyes of both Papyrus and to all those playing GPL.

As has been posted at gpl.gamestats.com, it is quite easy to get your
GP car to be launced up off some scenery with spectacular effects. I
managed to save this once (no mean feat) and that has been posted.

To try it for yourself, after exiting the last turn, keep out to the
left and as turn 1 appears drive straight on. There should be a fence
coming at you head on with some people behind it, and some hay barrels
on the right. Basically aim the car at the last section of fence,
_just_ to the left of the hay, the car will shoot through into the
mapped area behind. The momentum will carry you through and then
suddenly wallah! Your car is launched (normally straight up :)) at a
stupid velocity. I have been airbourne for over 10 seconds once and
also seen the car richochet about the track limits in turn 1 and
turn2.

Happy SkyDiving. <g>

Jon.
