Why is it that the Pace Car can come out and plow through the field
knocking off every car in it's way without a scratch at a speed 50%
faster than our race cars and then sit in front at 35 mph where I have
to slip my car into nuetral to keep behind it?

Did this game go through a beat testing stage or not!?

What...? Wow - that's the first I've heard of this (seemingly obvious) bug...

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I have had that happen to me, the pace car came out at 250mph and sent an AI
car flying down the track!

Lol Eldred, just keep reading, you'll see other things that seem to come out
of nowhere.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

I got drilled from behind waiting for the pace car to catch up at
Daytona. Put me out of the race, he must have been doing well over
100 mph.

Yeah, now I'm SERIOUSLY doubting if I want the game... I'm having flashbacks
of Bill Elliot's Nascar Racing...<g>

The game is incomplete if you ask me(even if you don't ask me)
It's not a simulation of anything in single player mode except Midtown
Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Miller said it best; oooo, ooo, take the money and run!!!!!

Well, you have to use your mirror and drive defensively. :)

If you are waiting for the pace car to pass you, you need to stay up high
against the wall. If you are low on the track, it will plow right through
you.

I still have that.....dunno where it is - I lost the unreadable code sheet. I
do remember that Bill couldn't be knocked out of the race, though, and he'd
come plowing through you like a mad man.

by **Eldre** » Wed, 21 Mar 2001 05:38:11

Actually, *any* AI call would plow through you. I still have the sheet, but I
also have a way to run it without the sheet...<g>
