Watkins Glen Quicksand in N2002??

What's with the quicksand at Watkins Glen? The wheels don't spin in it, but the car moves at the speed of a baby crawling. How is that realistic? David G Fisher

I guess Papy figured it better at least let folks get out on their own or there would be an outcry from the masses. I have heard of this problem since the 2002 release but haven't been in the sand yet at WG or SP. Use the wuick sand as motivation to stay on the track.

Yep, I remember last year at Watkins Glenn Dale Jarrett ended up in the Kitty litter twice and had to be pulled out with the tow truck both times... - Isotrip� "Admin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bwnm8.4942$[email hidden]... > > Its not, when you get off in the sand at a roadie, typically it takes atow > truck to get you out.

I would guess it's not, although it is better than being able to drive over it as if it's pavement. In real life I'm guessing you'd be sitting there waiting for a towtruck. Speaking of which, what's up with the "paved" sand in F1 2001? I don't think I've ever seen a formula one car reverse over water/sand/grass and rejoin a race... Jason
