Hello all, training for an 6 Lap Race at Watkins Glen i hitted Chris Amon and forced him to roll over 24 ( ! ) times ! I saved the replay, so e-mail me if you want to see that... So who can beat that ? Right now I want to start the GPL-Rollover-Competition-League [ simply because crashing is the only thing Im really good at at GPL ;-) ] BTW, did someone develop a good setup for the Eagle for the `ring, I want to get rid of the Ferrari to beat my 9.01.23 ( with one spin ) on an easier to drive car, but the default setup is way to soft IMO. Greetings from Koblenz, Germany, 40km away from the Nrburgring Staabi GPL ruined my social life...

Rght you're on, Iam plenty good at rolling if nothing else... The Nrburgring would ruin my social life if I was only 40km from it!

Gee, I thought my 18 endovers were good! However, I did get at least twice as high as the tallest trees around Eau Rouge, with nearly six full seconds of airtime. Watching the replay, I noticed several things. First, the graphics go all to hell from way up there. Sky where the ground is, etc. Also, the entire front half of my car disappeared below the road surface(after the wheels broke off). From the***pit view, it looked like diving into the abyss. Spooky. Still, it's nice to be good at something. SteveB.
I don't know about rollovers, but I submit we have a hang-time competition. Admittedly cheating (I was going the wrong way at 140), I got Jim Clark to go airborne for 4.9 sec. He tried his best to avoid me, but to no avail :-) Some drives avoided the ensuing melee, but I guess Rindts low "alertness" showed as he plowed into me late after the action. BTW, for the mathematically inclined, I calculate Clark topped out at 96 ft (assuming no drag). And it looked every bit of it :-) Great fun watching the replay view from every angle and car.
