Got bored/frustrated trying get close to Mansell's times, so I went exploring... Spent some time practising donuts at Monza, managed to get my rears up to 450 degrees :) Also, you can drive over the Bosch bridge (the one before Woodcote) at Silverstone and get onto the outside of the track. You can drive all the way round... Head off towards the start/finish line, turn around and head back to the bridge. In the distance on the outside of the track you'll see a tyre bridge (like the Dunlop one at Le Mans). Drive towards it and it disappears... Wierd stuff..

Alan Head wrote Be sure we all did our Zanardi ;-) One thing I was frustrated is that Skid marks DISAPPEAR after XYZ amount of them. Do I hear false advertising ????? Is there something related (amount of RAM, etc.. ??). I got 64mb and after around 1min of spinning (online and offline) the first lines of skidding was disappearing when I did some new ones. I have a replay to prove this. ;,-( - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

Well i am glad they do, the way I drive I find my frame rate drops with every new set of skid marks when I come up to them again. (currently have them turned off)
