Re: My very first Snet crash..

Am I the only one here to get a foul taste in my mouth when I crash horribly? I almost turn away from the screen to avoid seing the horrible accident. Hmm, does this make me a wuzz? :-) ---Asgeir--- "Kenny L." wrote:

At the next turn after hairpin, I went in too hot, hit banking, flipped about 12 times, and landed smack dab next to a guy with a fire extinguisher. HAHAHAHAHA. too funny. Nice track, thanks. -- Kenny L. kenny AT proracingclub DOT com *

Oh my god, they killed Kenny!

You're a big softie Nesoen. The Viking exterior is only a pose, isn't it? ;-) Seriously, after all this time with GPL the moment I realise I'm gonna lose it is still "pants filling". A brief moment of genuine fear, where one would expect a gentle annoyance. Such is the immersion of GPL. Jan. =--- asgeir nes�en <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

And after posting this, I was reminded of one of my accidents in GP2, and it started me thinking about a new thread, the "creepiest moments in sims". However implausible, I remember driving as Mika at Adelaide. As I approached the fast bend, my car suddenly went into a snap spin, rotated through about 90 degrees and was launched over the kerbs and sideways into the outside wall. When I watched the replay, I saw that the cause of the accident was a rear puncture. When I watched the replay from the rollbar, the image was disturbingly similar to Mika's actual accident. It was a *very* strange coincidence. So, any other stories like this? I know many of us deliberately tried to duplicate Senna's crash at Imola using GP1 when the witch-hunt was on, but has anyone else had any random events in their sim experience that were uncomfortably close to a real event?

LOL I lost it at the Indy road course after brushing the gravel trap and was sliding for a hard left front impact with the tyre wall, and I actually tensed up and crouched myself a little lower in my chair. :-) Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrashes.cjb.net

We had someone in out league have an 'incident'. He was about to plow into someone online. He races(or raced) in real-life, and he pulled his legs up out of instinct.
