Hi.

Noticed something odd yesterday. I uplled off a particularly dodgy
overtaking manouvre, but went into a huge amount of tail-twitching
over the kerbs.

Somehow I held it. Well pleased, I switched to replay mode to see my
masterful(!) driving in action, and found that in the replay I'd gone
into a spin! Never did that on the track, but as soon as I came out of
pause mode, I found that suddenly I was in a totally different
location and that yes, I -had- gone into a spin.

This is definitely not appreciated. How can replay possible affect the
position on the track? Annoying.

I don't want to carp too much, since I'm well pleased with this sim.
However, I'd like to know if anyone else has had their position
affected by going to replay, since it will affect my decision as to
whether it gets used during a race.

Cheers,
Ian

I too had a similar occurrance during a race at Hockenheim, it went
something like this: I was slipstreaming at about 210mph when I
ducked out of the car in-front clipped its rear wheel, sending me into
the air, I appeared to float back down to earth with no damage
(bonus!). So I thought that I would have a replay (as you do), and
pressed 'R'.
The replay showed me overtaking but over doing it and ending up on the
grass (I didn't get airborne at all), upon the resumption of the game
I did infact find myself on the grass 'doin' a Damon'.
It was quite a surreal experience. Thank God that someone else has
found this feature, because I thought that I had imagined it and/or
was going slightly mad.

This is all quite odd. I've had GP2 for about a week and a half and have
had many great moments to replay. I've never had a problem in the
replay. Could it be that you're not pausing the game before looking at
the replay? I be confused.

it happened to me last night, I had a huge off involving Jos Verstappen
both are cars were totaly wrecked (split in two), in the replay Jos
Verstappen was not involved and I hit the tire wall

I switched to replay mode to see my
masterful(!) driving in action, and found that in the replay I'd gone
into a spin! Never did that on the track,

I had a similar thing happen to me , I too had pulled of a dodgy
overtaking manouvre
and clipped wheels with the other car. I then had a Mclaren spin off
behind me. I paused
it to see what happened and i had not hit anyone and the mclaren had
succesfully gone
round me ???

Very Strange - My manouvre was in Hockenheim on the 4th gear chicance.
