While racing in New Hampshire, I was happily in first pace some where around
lap 5 when all of a sudden I saw a car go flying by me at what appeared to
be about 250mph.  When I watched the replay Dobson (#17) appeared just to jump
from one side of the front stretch to the other, consequently passing about
15 cars in the process.  I would have thought that this was just a minor bug,
but it happened twice more.  I was wondering if anyone else out there has had
that problem, and if so, how do you fix it?

Well, I haven't had it happen to an AI car, but I sure have had it happen to
ME... I turned a 1:21.504 sec lap at Australia the other day, which is about
7 seconds faster than the world internet record, simply by being teleported
from the exit of turn6 to the exit of turn 12 in the space of ONE frame in
the replay (ie < 1/15th sec).  I bounced all over (damage off) and got stuck
in the wall for a while and STILL beat the world record by 6+ seconds!

I've also had a similar problem at Long Beach, where I got teleported from
somewhere about halfway down the front straight to a couple of feet from
the end - where I landed at full speed, around 155mph.  I crashed and spun
something like six times!

I had a similar problem in NASCAR. When playing linked up over a null modem
if one player e***d the race/pracitce/qualifying session to change the setups
etc them the remaining players car shoots forwards at high velocity.
Once we figured it out we had an excellent time in the pitlane i.e. I exit
session, friends car destroys all other cars in the pit lane.
spooky but ture.

Could be a bug they've transplanted from ICR?

Later
George
