Hello all,

training for an 6 Lap Race at Watkins Glen i hitted Chris Amon and forced
him to roll over 24 ( ! ) times ! I saved the replay, so e-mail me if you
want to see that...

So who can beat that ? Right now I want to start the
GPL-Rollover-Competition-League [ simply because
crashing is the only thing Im really good at at GPL ;-) ]

BTW, did someone develop a good setup for the Eagle for the `ring, I want to
get rid of the Ferrari to beat my 9.01.23 ( with one spin ) on an easier to
drive car, but the default setup is way to soft IMO.

Gee, I thought my 18 endovers were good! However, I did get at least twice as
high as the tallest trees around Eau Rouge, with nearly six full seconds of
airtime. Watching the replay, I noticed several things. First, the graphics
go all to hell from way up there. Sky where the ground is, etc. Also, the
entire front half of my car disappeared below the road surface(after the wheels
broke off). From the***pit view, it looked like diving into the abyss.
Spooky. Still, it's nice to be good at something.

I don't know about rollovers, but I submit we have a hang-time competition.

Admittedly cheating (I was going the wrong way at 140), I got Jim Clark to go
airborne for 4.9 sec. He tried his best to avoid me, but to no avail :-)
Some drives avoided the ensuing melee, but I guess Rindts low "alertness"
showed as he plowed into me late after the action.

BTW, for the mathematically inclined, I calculate Clark topped out at 96 ft
(assuming no drag). And it looked every bit of it :-) Great fun watching the
replay view from every angle and car.
