CRASHES: Last night I was racing at Brazil and had a spectacular crash. It was at the corner after the first chicane,I plowed into my team mate as he was turning and it split his car in two just behind the***pit. The two halves of his car ended up a good distance from each other. Anyone else seen this happen? COMPUTER CAR PITS: In F1GP 1 you needed to run a 75% race before the computer cars would make pit stops. In GP2 you only need to run a 50% race. In a 50% race the computer cars will either make 1 stop or no stops.
The best crash I've had so far didn't even involve me! I had started at the back at Monza (couldn't be bothered qualifying) and Eric Bernard lost it on the Curva Grande on the first lap. I could see him go straight through the gravel trap, losing his front wing & three wheels when he hit the wall. He then rebounded onto the track where he was collected by Christian Fittipaldi. Poor old Eric lost his final wheel in that collision & ended up spinning along the track on his belly almost all the way to the Curva della Roggia!! Richard

Had a good one at Jerez the other night - I mis-judged a passing manoeurve on the back straight, and clipped the wheels of the car I was passing. I launched into the air (you could see the plank on the underside of the car on the external views), and came down nose first at about 150mph. The car broke into 2 pieces, and I ended up on the grass with just the front half of the car, no wheels, no wings. Wow. Steven
