Re: N2002 - Pacecar driver on Steroids !

Yes, it does this on many of the track, if not all.

I actually liked that movie, maybe because I already knew that it wasn't "accurate" and just enjoyed it for what it was, entertainment "Do you want the extra insurance ?" One day I'll convince myself that the same applies to "Driven" and see that one as well, but Sly as a CART driver.....?

in a 40 lapper at Sears today, the yellow flag came out just before I was crossing the s/f line (the lights between hairpin and s/f straight had still been on green when I passed them, but the flagman showed the yellow as I approached him). Since I was at full speed driving through a corner, I needed a few meters to slow down, but did so immediately and waited for the pacecar uphill through the T1/T1a section, orderly driving at probably around 30-35mph on the far right hand side of the track to give the pacecar room to pass me. And then the pacecar came - flying towards me like an F14, staying firmly on the right hand side of the track, precisely on the line I'm on, and without as much as the slightest attempt at braking or avoiding me, rams me off the track, so hard that I get catapulted 10 meters up high into the air and fly as far as behind the tire barrier :-) I was pleased after the race to see that at least I didn't get blamed for the incident <g> I actually finished the race after calling the tow truck, sitting in the pits for 3 mins while the other cars were under yellow (I'd had a headstart of a lap from the guy in second). The pitcrew worked miracles in getting the car (car - what am I saying. It looked like modern art rather than like a car) back onto its 4 tires and the hood out of my field of vision :-) Achim P.s.: for anyone interested, I have a replay (about 400KB).

Your spotter makes some funny cracks if you hit the pace car while it is on the track... John DiFool

Now that you mention it, I think mine did indeed start that wowowowow-routine when the pacecar hit _me_! <g> Achim "John DiFool" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
