Anyone else find this annoying? What is the deal with it? Is it an acknowledged bug? I find it disturbing to be running a fairly decent race, then touching the wall just once and losing most of the races work.. -- -----------------------===========**********===========----------------------- "I used to have it all.. now I just have everything.." -----------------------===========**********===========-----------------------

not a bug...just a simple fact that the width of the vehicle is wider at the rear than the front. Touch the wall and the car attains an angle into the wall. I've found that if I'm gonna touch the wall, hit it hard and you will bounce off. Of course its a little difficult to do if car damage is on.

It's called WALL GLUE which seems appropriate. Wall glue was for the most part eliminated in NASCAR, but nothing was ever done about it in any of the IndyCar updates, despite numerous of complaints. ------------------------------------------------------------ SILVER HILL HISTORIC AVIATION | Research - Photography 4051 Ivy Lane | Special fabrics - Paints Easton, Pa. 18045 USA | Antique instrumentation ------------------------------------------------------------

There's probably a reason nothing was done about it, since it's not a bug. :-) The rear tires are wider than the fronts, so if you hit the wall at just the wrong angle you get into a situation where your car is still "pointed" at the wall and your car appears to "stick" to the wall - I've seen this happen a few times in real life races, so I wouldn't call it a bug. ***************************************************************** *****************************************************************
