Well not quite, hehe...

I was playing the Group C mod, for the game F1 Challenge, driving round Le Mans in my Peugeot, and THIS happened! Cheesy :O Cheesy













I ended up against the wall at Mulsanne corner... spectacular!

Btw, this was NOT planned, it just happened... I think the GroupC default setup for Le Mans needs some major tweaks, ride height is too low, and it's too slow down the Mulsanne straight...

Yeah it was, but I haven't got a 99 Merc, only one I have is the Sauber, and I couldn't get that to crash Cheesy

You don't win Le Mans - you outlast it.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

It's F1 Challenge 99-02 by EA Sports, then a free Group C add-on, so you can drive early 90's Le Mans cars. The Le Mans track is awesome! That is the pre-2002 version, however there is also 2002 onwards, and no-chicane versions.

It's great stuff, proper simulation, rather than arcade.

On the Friday before the race that year, we parked the car by this hill and then went off through the woods trying to find to road (that is open during the race).

I rember saying that when the race is on we should track back through the woods and watch the race, which would have been close to where it landed. Luckily we ended up drinking around the time instead.

Oui, LMD.
Here's a pic a couple of frames further on.
It's mindboggling to think that Merc thought it would be ok to send out the cars in the race. I would imagine Drumbreck wasn't exactly thrilled with the team management after his episode. Mind you, I doubt if he complained much in case he jeopardised his future with Merc.
I wonder if the Viper driver knew what was going on? It's difficult to judge the depth but it looks as though he drove underneath the Merc after it went airborn.
If he did see it all, I think his reaction may have similar to the driver who watched the EB110 snap sideways in front of him and pirohuette down the Mulsanne in, err, 94?, ish. A short stop for new overalls, a shower, and plenty of Johnsons Baby Powder...
