RASCAR: A question about the random breakdowns...

Are these breakdowns happening after contact with other cars, or just out of the clear blue for no reason?

I lost a header at Bristol....but I have conceeded that I went through the gears too fast (I use the assisted clutch option as I have no clutch pedal). I simulated this offline, and when I shift without lifting, the rpm's go through the roof. That is the only thing I can think of as when I was going through the gears and got to 4th, I burned up the engine, and I was done. I could've run around the track in 3rd, but I would've gotten in the way, especially at Bristol. I now lift a little when I shift. As for it being caused by damage, I cannot say either way. John railed me in the back and spun me, but when I checked my pit board, it said I had no damage (Thanks, John!) That was on lap 7, and my header went on like lap 55 or so. I wouldn't think that being hit in the rear would cause engine damage anyhow, but you never know.

Both, apparantly. One of the most annoying one's is getting hit in the rear (and clearly ONLY in the rear) and having it take your motor away.

That's another thing. Since when does ANY racer park his car because of a cracked header? Unfortunately, NR2003 considers that fatal damage (bullshit) and puts you out of the race. The whole engine scenario in NR2003 is screwed. Makes me want to run in Arcade damage mode.
