It's probably been mentioned already, but my car was playing Yellow
Submarine at Michigan, especially after a collision with the wall. I have a
series of screenshots showing the car going half through the wall, then
finding its way back into the physical confines of the track. After that,
it dropped into the track surface until it was buried up to the top of the
wheelwells, then went through some pretty funky oscillations as it found its
way back to the proper side of the pavement. It reminded me of some of my
finite element contact models when they go bonkers.

Not nearly as spectacular as the sky-rocketing cars when the beta of GPL
appeared!

The ultra-elastic collisions in GPL I can live with, and going halfway
through a wall is also bearable. It is, however, very unsettling to
gradually sink into the pavement coming through Turn 4. Although, when I
think about it, I am settling into the pavement, so it can't very well be
unsettling, can it? Hmmm. Now I'm confused.
Perhaps I can sneak *under* Jeff Gordon.

You mean those aren't sky-rocketed cars I see in the full release of GPL?

The point is not to hit anything, then the collision detection problem
is moot. ::)

That's hardly a NASCAR sim then is it :-)

Have you checked the track temperature, Stephen?

Thanks Bruce. I had erroneously selected sunny and very warm in the setup
menu. No wonder I was sinking into the tarmac coming through T4; the sun
was shining directly onto that part. Man, talk about traction... Perhaps
we can get the simulation experts at Pabst racing to give us a more accurate
representation of how the ambient temperatures will affect the fluidity of
the asphalt. :-)

Creates localised hot-spots in sections of tarmac................devilish
and ingenious!

Try the "Pants" oval for GPL if you want to sky-rocket a 1967 racer...
