Jumping Stock Cars

When I started to race at Infineon Raceway with N2003, the strangest
thing happened.  The other stock cars went up into the air! Some fell
back down while others did not, but eventually all were gone and my
car sat there on the start line all by itself.

My installation of N2003 has the Papyrus patch and the Wildfire Trans
Am patch.  I have run this track before the Wildfire patch, and I've
never seen the cars jump away.  I checked all the other tracks and
this phenomenom only occurs at Infineon using the Cup Cars.

Has any one else seen a similar effect?  Is there any way to be rid of
it?

Stop smokin that gangee man! lol
Actually, I was racing at Indy67 in GPL when an accident occurred in one of
the turns.
An AI car went into an inverted spin on its engine side that lasted for at
least 3 minutes.
It kind of reminded me of watching a figure skater in the final seconds of a
performance, only here she would have taken home the gold!.

Try running at CC Superspeedway and you'll see the problem in full effect as
cars racing on the inside of given turn leap cleanly into the air and launch
themselve into the outside wall, and if there's any cars in the way....

Oddly enough, this happened a few times with the Bodines.

Furthermore, there's some weird bouncing going in the pitlane exit after a
yellow which see cars pitched into the outside wall in a similar way. It
seemed to me that the patch alleviated some of the issues, but sometimes it
reoccurs.

Nurburgring has some odd AI behaviour too.Started a race with 30 AI ,and by
the 2nd lap (still under caution,no green flag yet) only 2 were left

They often wipe out in the esses after Pflanzgarten, but that
attrition rate is suspiciously high...
