I had the exact same problem in the first Indy 500 here. It must be some kind of Indy curse - Jean-François Bovy wrote:
- pour JP le bâtisseur, 3 bugs constatés (comme quoi ça a des avantages de frôler les murs):
-mur extérieur V4: le mur n'est pas "plat" tout le long, bosse invisible -mur pit straight: si on frotte, on se retrouve coincé dans le grillage malgré le mur plus épais -pile-poil sur le coin qui marque le début de la zone en brique, tout contre le mur extérieur: mini trou ou bosse invisible sacré beta test effectivement, je me suis rendu compte de ca trop tard. C'est qu'en m'entrainant pour la course avec ce mod que j'ai goûté au mur, que j'ai découvert le bug. désolé pour ce bug qui t'a éliminé | |

| This was by far the longest race I have ever run, so just finishing was an accomplishment in my mind. Started 8th; the first 15 to 20 laps were quite smooth. I was enjoying running with Carl and Steve. Then the first pit stops started, and I was suddenly in the top 3  I stayed out longer than I should have (was hoping I might get to lead a lap if the first and second place cars pitted) and paid a hefty price; my rear tires went away very rapidly, and I glanced off both walls on the main straight when my attention waivered  Thankfully Carl and Steve got by unscathed. Pitted after that, but the car was now noticeably looser with the damage incurred. On the next stop I took a turn of wedge out of the car, and that made it drive much better, but the tires seemed to be wearing out faster as the race wore on. Had to pit 4 times instead of 3 for this very reason. Was catching Mick hand over fist with 20 laps to go, but by that time, I was too far back to catch him. That and my tires were once again shot  10th place at the checker. Thanks to everyone for taking part; thanks to HSO for organizing _________________ ![1960 Indianapolis 500 [June 1st] - Page 7 Ik0uEqBjC0LKiLMueGfA](https://2img.net/h/storage.proboards.com/6833597/images/ik0uEqBjC0LKiLMueGfA.jpg) | |

on va dire que j'aurais pas dû me trouver là  sur le coup, j'ai eu mal, en miettes sans vraiment comprendre, après 2 heures de course et toujours en compétition: rude... mais voilà, content de participer à ton oeuvre, et en espérant être crédité parmi les béta-testeurs non-volontaires  _________________ ![1960 Indianapolis 500 [June 1st] - Page 7 19](http://historicsimracing.org/pilote_sign/19) | |

| Aha! That was you! Man that was one Hell of a wreck. You left a monster black mark on the wall where you made impact. Thank you for escaping out. _________________ ![1960 Indianapolis 500 [June 1st] - Page 7 458](http://www.historicsimracing.org/pilote_sign/458) | |

| Another great event , got to battle it out with the usual suspects .. Had some great laps with Jason , Ben , Francois , Mike , Mick and Jieffe the battle was long and not without danger I was overjoyed to again finish this mammoth race .. I had 2 ctd along the way both on turn 3 the 1st one when battling with Jieffe we where both very close and luckily we did not tangle ... Then the 2nd one was nearer the end of the race and i was just starting to catch Mike a little , weird it happened again at turn 3 which damaged the car and made it harder to drive , i had to back of and just concentrate on finishing and praying for the chequered flag ........ Very happy to finish 8th place overall considering the drama i had ... Well Done to Jp for the win  and the work on this lovely track and Congrats all finishers  I Do believe me and Steve are the only drivers to have entered all 3 Indy races so far and finish the race  _________________ ![1960 Indianapolis 500 [June 1st] - Page 7 18](http://historicsimracing.org/pilote_sign/18) What we do Monday to Friday Keeps us up with the Competition ...
