i posted a replay at alt.binaries.simulators.autos (watch bruce mclaren) his tire just falls off at spa. is this something that happens every so often? it is the first time i have seen it. also, can you flat spot your tires in gpl? i know wear does not come into play but what about damage? any comments?

I have a screen shot of a tire falling off too. Check my sig for the URL. Unfortunately, I'm at work and cannot see your replay.

I had that happen at mosport, turn 2. I got by an eagle just at the last turn and all of a sudden a tire went over my head and he ran into me. It was pretty awesome.

Well I had a massive pile up once and the race list said I was out with a puncture... >i posted a replay at alt.binaries.simulators.autos (watch bruce mclaren) his >tire just falls off at spa. is this something that happens every so often? >it is the first time i have seen it. also, can you flat spot your tires in >gpl? i know wear does not come into play but what about damage? any >comments?

I watched Gurney lose a wheel ahead of me at Monza on the straight leading to Parabolica. The wheel came right at me and I was so astounded I missed my braking point as did the Ferrari behind me. It started a whole chain reaction and four of us ended up in the sand. In the replay you could even see suspension pieces go flying. >i posted a replay at alt.binaries.simulators.autos (watch bruce mclaren) his >tire just falls off at spa. is this something that happens every so often? >it is the first time i have seen it. also, can you flat spot your tires in >gpl? i know wear does not come into play but what about damage? any >comments?

If you hit the wheels as you pass them, do they cause you any damage? Is there a way to tweak how reliable each car will be, in training, of course. For example, I'd love to set it right down so that almost every time I start training, something goes wrong with the car. Tyres, suspension, brakes, etc. Adam
