This is weird.Sometimes when I drive counterclockwise on the track(backwards),and i hit a car,that person's car flies backwards at about 400mph,and sometimes goes out of the track.This is especially true at Talladega.I'm sure this is a bug,but I wonder how this is caused.
writes: Not sure why it happens, but if you run the track the right way, I'll bet it'll work fine. Do you think the programmers sat there and said "You know, I bet someone will run the tracks backwards, so we'd better test it to be sure it works." Doubt it. Counter-clockwise, Ace. Mike
>writes: >>This is weird.Sometimes when I drive counterclockwise... When my 6 year old gives up on a long null-modem race, sometimes he takes his frustration out on the field by doing just what you are talking about. I can say, without hesitation, that this play has been well tested at my house without the "out of track" situation that you are describing. The only unusual happening that we have noticed is that the damaged AI cars will disappear off the track at some point in time. Best wishes!!! Robert Huggins
