        Funnt thing happened to me at the Glen - I was racng at 100%, lead up to the
first pit stop (yellows, lap 23), and rejoined in 3rd. We got the green, and I
was 3rd up in the middle of turn two when a tidal wave or something struck-
the track tilted left/right for an instant, and BAM! I was stuck head on into
the barrier on the inside of the turn. (ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE). I rejoined in
21st, and watched the replay. The proceedings look normal until the screen
goes green for an instant! In the next frame my car goes into the barrier 90
deg to the right. I was travelling at well over 100MPH when this happened. Oh,
there is also a tiny "hoot" when the screen goes green. From all angles, the
crash is totally impossible!! Anybody seen anything like this?

How-How,
Matthew.

Well, only in ICR2. Racing at Laguna Seca the other day, I came out of the Corkscrew
turn when the screen went brown for a second, and then the car went through 90 degrees
and hit the wall so hard the increase in revs caused the engine to blow. Looking at
the replay the brown frame was blank except for the drivers view which showed the
car *vertical* underneath the track. The speed increased from about 70 to 180 mph.
Oh well. Another bug.
