At first I was watching it and was like, 'yeah, seen it before, standard
GPL/NR2003 crash physics' but after a while I was laughing at the
syncing to the music and the progressively worse off Solstice. Really
great stuff.

Then the credits start, and I see there is still tons of time on the
seek bar and am wondering wtf is coming next.

Awesome! Awesome is what is coming next.

Thanks!

This may actually make me visit the forums again before my
subscription expires in December, just out of some perverse
curiosity. Thanks for the heads up, this should be interesting ;-)

You'll be glad to know that thread soon vanished out of sight after attracting some
criticism. There are plenty of people complaining about the wreckfest truck racing
though. I can't understand the fuss myself, I thought that's what everyone watches
oval racing to see? :-)

The most depressing thread though now (for me anyway) is about the 'leaked' news of
a Corvette coming to iRacing. Just what the sim needs... another overweight US tank.
As of the Solstice wasn't enough of a slap in the face to racing enthusiasts!

Apparently iRacing have a deal of some kind with General Motors though, which
explains it. Exactly what will happen when GM is taken over by the taxpayer -- as
will be required very soon -- I've no idea.

I get a lot of time to think and plan at the back of the field. Occasionally I see
another car though, which ruins my train of thought. ;-)

Him, if it's a nice C6R in race trim this might actually be good news ;-)

That is what they said it was going to be. Far from a "tank".

Ed, are you trying to rain on their anti-American parade or something?

Not anti-American (especially today!) but definitely anti-American cars. ;-) Apart
from the Tesla. I like that a lot.
