Engine failure in N4 when everything appears normal

Wondering if anyone out there has experience an engine failure when all the gauges are indicating that the engine is running at the proper temp, oil temp, oil pressure, and not being over reved during a race. A couple of buddies I know have experienced blown engines with no warning that anything was wrong. Water temps were at 200, oil temp was at 210 or 220, revs were well below the red line, with no brief blips to the red line. Wondering if this is a random incident that has been programmed into the game. Any ideas or comments would be welcome.

I have had this bite me once. The ironic thing is, random mechanical failures were supposed to be an option that you could select if you wanted that extra element of realism. Gerald "Bill Bollinger" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>...

Happened to me just last night in an online game, exactly as you described. Ended up a camshaft failure. "Gerald Moore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Don't *real* engines occasionally blow with no prior warning? You just don't have the luxury of doing an engine post-mortem to discover a $2 part that failed...
