Got bored/frustrated trying get close to Mansell's times, so I went
exploring...
Spent some time practising donuts at Monza, managed to get my rears up
to 450 degrees :)

Also, you can drive over the Bosch bridge (the one before Woodcote) at
Silverstone and get onto the outside of the track. You can drive all
the way round...
Head off towards the start/finish line, turn around and head back to
the bridge. In the distance on the outside of the track you'll see a
tyre bridge (like the Dunlop one at Le Mans). Drive towards it and it
disappears...

Wierd stuff..

Be sure we all did our Zanardi ;-)

One thing I was frustrated is that Skid marks DISAPPEAR after XYZ amount of
them.

Do I hear false advertising ????? Is there something related (amount of RAM,
etc.. ??). I got 64mb and after around 1min of spinning (online and offline)
the first lines of skidding was disappearing when I did some new ones.  I
have a replay to prove this.

Well i am glad they do, the way I drive I find my frame rate drops with
every new set of skid marks when I come up to them again.

(currently have them turned off)
