Going along at Talladega (Nascar2) and a yellow comes out. All of the
sudden Jeff Burton goes flying by me in reverse.  I go back to the replay
to look at it. Jeff Burton brushed the wall, Shifted into reverse and went
screaming down the back stretch at 550 mph backwards! Glad i didnt hit
him. That would have been a 700 mph+ collision. Just wondering if anyone
else had seen this.

I saw the same thing during my first race at the Rock. I don't know which
driver it was or if he hit the wall first (close though). I'll have to check
the replay I saved. This guy only got up to 385mph in reverse. I was amazed
at how quick the spotter picked it up. He was yelling 'go low' and all I saw
was a dark object jet across the screen. I'm going to have to do some
testing with the reverse gear, maybe there's something there<BG>

I'm trying to configure my ThrustMaster GP1 for Nascar Racing
and the steering always ends up set opposite to what it should
be (right goes left, etc.). I really want this to work so any advise
would be appreciated.

                Have you tried running backards yet? better yet run a kulwicki victory
lap in the middle of practice and listen for your spotter....;)

Are you doing this in WIN95? I have the same trouble with GP2 and my
Virtual pilot flight yoke - I reboot ms-dos, and it calibrates fine.

Something like that happened to me in N1. Robert Pressley (#29) was coming
out of turn 2 at Bristol when he magically started going in reverse very
fast. I was in turn 3 when I saw something scream by me against the wall.
He kept going until he hit Kyle Petty, which in turn went on to hit
Brandon Gillis. One of the more weird things I've seen next to the HOG bug
(which is even in the Nascar.exe as well as Multi.exe!)

Sounds like an AI HOG bug :-)

I never saw the computer cars do this but I is common knowledge that in
both Nascar1 and 2 there is no spped limit to the reverse gear....You can
go as fst as you want in reverse as long as you don't hit something....

I'd like to see a replay of these if one of you wouldn't mine sending me one.

Brain,
I sent the freaky replay (NCR2). Sorry if it's a little long (221k). I cut
over an entire lap prior to the incident just incase Papy wanted to see it.
Watch Dave Marcus in the #71 car. He's got a 385mph reverse gear, some
incredible tork and traction that Big Daddy would die for.

This is in Nascar 1, not 2.

Yes, I saw this bug once in N1.  Or, one very similar to it.  It was at
Tally.  I was coming through turn 4 then the screen jumped. I got very
disorientated. Before I could figure out where I was or were heading I had
a very *** collision.  Only after watching the replay several times did

185mph/ Me setting on the start finish line for 2 or 3 frames/ Me moving in

another car (don't remember who, I sure hope it was Earnheart though).
These switches in position, direction, and speed were instantainous, and
without warning.   All in all, a rather disturbing end to my race.
