F1RC Physics?

Hi All

Just managed to download the F1RC demo (8 hours :) and my first impressions
are its great fun, and looks very nice. But I have a slight problem in one
area, and was just wondering if its a setup problem or something that others
experience.

I was driving around Spa admiring the scenery using the TV cameras to get
some good views, and the last chicane on Spa has a camera which the car
drives through (gives a nice view of the inside of the car :) but as I was
driving the car slowly towards the camera the physics started doing strange
things, give it ago. The F1 car struggles to climb the kerb, loads of
wheelspin but goes nowhere. The same thin at Station Hairpin at Monaco,
drive slowly over the kerb and the car jumps around.

Does anyone else have this problem? It leads me to wonder if its a common
problem, that if the physics are wrong at these speeds that some compromises
have crept into the physics side.

Still fun to blast around, but I feel its lacking a little something that
makes it must have for me.
