Thank god!
I was even starting to wonder if it might be my driving. What a relief...
I've devised a workaround that consists of accelerating sharply just before the
chicane and contacting the back of  Guy Ligier's Brabham, which will quite often
carry you over the chicane.

Thanks Markus!

I've got a work-around for that bug.  In the SRM Pro race yesterday, I
shaved off a couple of my wheels with the guardrail when I ran wide exiting
the tunnel, and the Cooper fit through the chicane just fine.  Hope that
works for you too.

Well what do you know.  I'd been considering using 2CV wheels  to see if  I
could get through. I'm so relieved that the bug has been made public.

 Well done Markus!!

    If you tap the rails just right you can narrow the front end and get
better aerodynamics.  ;-)

I believe there is a slight discrepancy in the collision volumes for
some (all?) of the cars, meaning that the wheels are physically larger
than they are graphically.  Ages ago someone made a fix for this, but I
can't remember who, when or where...

OTOH, that chicane is damn small!

Brake, aim, give it gas and hope for the best. And if that fails,
there's always afterlife...

was this going on in icr2?  i always ripped my RF wheel off in turn one at long
beach in icr2

i just thought it was because the track.3do and the track.trk didnt quite match
up...
