Wow! I'm in lap 5 or 6 of an 11 lap race at Monza, coming out of the
Parabolica in a Ferrari (vroom vroom, ... love that engine!). I've only
left the track about three times so far during my 5 or 6 laps, which is
pretty good for me. I turn in too soon, cutting off a guy on my inside
and clipping his front right with my left rear. I head for the guard
rail, pop back out onto the track, and get rear ended. I then get
airborne and do about 6-7 flips in the air!! Wow, the most spectacular
wreck I've ever seen in a racing simulation!! I love this game!!
I have a replay if anybody is interested.

I was coming out of the Vialone kink, not Parabolica.

last nite. I got sideways with a guy coming up fast behind me, he couldn't
avoid me & took me on the right side, just ahead of the rear wheels. Well I
was sliding sideways, leaning away from him, he was on the brakes in a nosedive
& plowed right under me. I must've rolled half dozen times :^) Unreal!!!!!
The attention they paid just tears me up. I got the game last night, & it
inspired me to watch that 1966 classic "Grand Prix" again tonight. I was
paying close attention to the Spa sequence, since I hadn't raced on that track
yet. Then with it fresh in my mind I raced Spa. As far as I could tell, *all*
those little cottages, barns, etc in the movie are depicted in the game,
exactly where they should be!
And the *feel* you get driving the cars... It is just unreal, the way you can
steer w/throttle. I'm not kidding, I get an almost physical sensation when I'm
*** it right on the edge of control! Thanks, Papy, this is the racing game
I've always dreamed of :^)

Start a race and go to the replay full screen. Its like having your own
"Grind Prix" Legends movie. All we need now is the announcer.
