    He was gaining on me and my 3rd place in a good race so far about half way through, having made his way up the pack. I knew it was just a matter of time.... I hit the chicane in my McLaren and knew it was not my best turn, tenths were being shaved away...then BOOM!!!! Some poor SOB takes out August in the chicane...

    Probably Ernst August (named after a german noble with flaring temper called the "Beating Prince" in Germany) who is a decent pilot.
    Poor lad :)
    Otherwise someone shot me off that way at Slovakia with WTCC after T1 recently - thus I hold no grudges at all, cause it was a Hollywood-like stunt (just stood there off track after and all I said was : WOW ! COOOOL ! :D)

    Edit: Oh didn`t look at full size pics - it really WAS Ernst August...:eek:

    A cloud of peppermints around would satisfy my sense of aesthetics - until we get a proper damage model :)

    ..nothing special (just in case you ever thought about cutting this corner - this is how it would look like in real).
