_SEVEN***_ barrel rolls in my Lotus 49! I have the replay as evidence.
190mph down Mexico's front straight and then bam! into the bank at the
side of the track, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten, eleven, twelve, thir***, four***, fif***, six***, seven***!
Then my car bounces over the guard rail!

Can anyone beat that?? BTW, no I wasn't abusing the game, I had just set
a PB :o))) 1:50.3 something.

I did 25/26 when I got the Bosch Kurve all wrong.
But far worse than that I just crashed my real car this evening : (
No-one hurt thankfully. Feckin mud on the road caused me to slide when I hit
the brakes and I didnt get the front wheels unlocked quick enough - wasn't
even going fast. All that GPL didnt help me this time.

I guess Shift+R didn't help, eh? :)

I have a great replay from the Glen where I parked the car in the pits and as
the car stopped the engine exploded and the car shot into the air and hit the
sky box and just proceeded to flip wildly in mid-air until coming to rest on
the grass just inside Big Bend. Hair raising!

With Robins driving, Shift R would not have helped. ;)

Breaking my poor Starlet like that :(

Ah but Rob, if you *are* abusing the game you can beat it, I did exactly
the same thing, rolling along the bank in Mexico. Actually I was trying
to launch my Eagle into space, but I ended up with a 19-roll move :-)

I've got the replay somewhere :-)

Sounds like a helluva ride... I've got to have the record for both in
the air cartwheels and altitude in the same wreck from an online
incident at Spa - slid into the guy I was running with coming out of
the little S between Les Combes and Burnenville and when he/we hit the
fence, I orbited - got so high the car bounced off the "ceiling".

Hey Rob, I'm sure I remember you posting a few months back about you
having done 1:49.xx at Mexico and that you felt you could get down into
the 1:44s.  I remember posting a follow up to it, or was it someone
else?  Think I'll be paying a visit to deja this weekend. :)

I'm stuck at 15 at mosport...<g> And yes I *was* abusing the game. Don't we
all do this sometimes?
