Snetterton - a new winner in the easy place to die contest

There just was a thread asking on which track you die most often. Snetterton might be my new winner. I think I've already killed myself a dozen times by hitting that bridge at the esses. Nothing like having concrete bridge abutments right next to the track on a difficult, high speed turn. If you go a little wide, you plow right into the right abutment. If you turn a little early, you catch the grass and can't recover in time, causing a nasty collision with the left abutment. Yikes. Great track guys. Amazing work.

At least you can SEE the bastards! I'm running Many trackside objects not all and d/l'd the smallest graphic set. (have a bit of an FPS problem) and the bloody bridge and abutments are invisible. It was pretty startling to be thinking, "Aw nuts, spun again." and suddenly the world explodes and you find yourself on a parabolic trajectory. I wish, if they weren't going to show it, they'd either disable it or put some sort of markers around where it is. OTOH, it was fun sitting atop the invisible bridge later as the other on-line racers passed beneath my levitating Ferrari. I wonder how many saw me on the bridge and how many simply saw me floating in mid-air above the track... <g> Regards, Brett C. Cammack That's Racing! Motorsports Pompano Beach, FL
