I downloaded a new track, called T3. It is a 2.200 mile Superspeedway Oval with average banking, although is shaped like Dover. My usual set up for a track is asphalt and concrete grip at 1.99 and 2.20. Dan Belcher would kill me :P
So, for these wrecks (for which all but 2 happened accidentally) the grip was as it was when I installed the track. And this shows how unused to those settings I am:
This is done purposefully, here is the world's smallest blowover:

780kb 5 seconds
Practising at T3 now, I am lapping fast. However, Ken Schrader comes up behind me at incredible speed, and touches me. You can see how I try to control it, do a good job at keeping it from nailing the outside wall headon before spinning back onto the grass, blowing over (rather cooly) and rolling. I was pissed, it was my first lap without spinning on the first corner...

No excuses here, too loose out of turn 2, skid, BANG into wall and roll hundreds of times..

Turn 2 was my unlucky omen, it was the only turn I couldn't do without having an incident on. This time, I DO nail the outside wall headon. My car tries to powerboat it's way up and over, but failing that decides to roll several times down the straight before landing VERY heavily (Ala Mark Thompson Daytona 1993)....

This occured when Kyle Petty clipped me ever so slightly onto the backstraight. I veer off course, hit the inside wall, and perform a VERY classy sort of blowover (never seen before type) and then do some very nauseating end over end rolls...

Ah, my favourite one. A biggish multicar pileup. Watch for #27 Wimmer, he's the one who cartwheels his way to a new "Single Flip Height Record". Mark Martin is also rather rudely pushed into a full-speed #132...

Remember the second clip? Ken Schrader punting me off? Well at Monza, I spot a chance for revenge. Unfortunately, Ken must have had a guardian angel with him that day, who thought my actions were not justified. Hence, I get my just deserts...
