Patch Fixers:

When you fix the game, make sure you can fix the bottoming out problem.
Same setup in two different graphics
modes.. One bottoms out and the others one doesnt. that to me sounds like a
graphics engine and FPS problem!

No way I can think of that a graphics engine in the game should change the
Physics...

Thanks Jimmy!

Which one bottoms out? Strange you would mention it, I always thougth the
car was running a bit too low visually (I run in Open GL only and the front
end "merges" with the pavement from time to time... doesn't have any impact
except it looks strange). I really only noticed it to the point it bothered
me a bit, tonight.

Buy the same token, would running D3D over Open GL (or vice versa) give a
driver some sort of advantage?

I don't think so. It's just April fools day ;-)

this question was asked of the jasper engineer who advised on the game, his
response was something along the lines of 'at alot of tracks we run so low
the the body shells do rub the track in the turns, and it tends not to
affect the handling whatsoever.'

Who would have beleived the cars would be easier to control and faster through the corners dragging the chassis.

its also a clue. lol

Alex, what does 'dragging the chassis' mean?

TIA
