Well I guess the first thing I learned was that the brakes on those old cars, while poor enough on the track, don't work worth a damn when you are upside down! don

LOL, press raise arm while upsidedown looks to be trying to push car up and back over. LOL
I have noticed that when the car is upside down with one rear tire touching the ground and you step on the gas the tire that is not on the ground spins faster. Is this because the program is actually simulating a differential with limited slip to the rear wheels? D Sports Racer (with a locked rear end) #74
Hmm, nice observation! :-) If you post that over on the GPL Forum you may get an answer from Mike Lescault or Doug Arnao - I'm not sure how much of the detail is fixed and should be announced just now. Cheers! John

Glad I'm not the only one who spends lots of time upside down:)
