Gravel Traps

One feature that I have yet to see in an F1 game is getting stuck in gravel traps. Its a feature that would add extra realism to a game, and probably be rather simple to code too.

Now some people might be saying this would destroy gameplay, but it wouldnt if the feature could be enabled or disabled. The hardcore fans who want every last drop of realism could turn it on, while the people who want a quick race could leave it off so they can drive out of them.

Geoff, if your reading, GP5 please

surely these great fellows that hack gp3/2000 and change the grip levels and physics could alter the calcualtions for the gravel


maybe they have not thought about it yet?

maybe a email to them asking them could prove fruitful

It happens in some gravel traps in GPL

Hmm, I might just email them... it could well be possible.

But the thing is, F1 cars can sometimes go through gravel traps, and drive out of them. Thats the bit I think would have to be coded into the game.

You do see some CC cars getting stuck, I was just doing 100% Silverstone race, and MS was just ahead, and looked like he slipped on EI's oil...back wheels spun the car round into the gravel...didnt get out.
Not very characteristic of Godlike MS
