For years, I, as well as thousands of other users have experienced some wonky car physics in this game.

However, none are as broken as the 'hit a car from behind and be sent spinning in the opposite direction' bug.

You know the routine: You are in an endurance, and passing your 4th or 5th car at the start and you are passing it on the outside around a left hand bend. Both cars are turning to the left with the corner, you have maybe 10-15 mph of closure speed. You are steering to the left, you just barely clip the lead car, and suddenly your car is skidding to the RIGHT at a 45 degree angle.

In reality, the rear of your car would lose traction and you would skid towards the lead car, in an oversteer-type situation. You would not be punted to the outside of the turn like you hit a pinball bumper...

This unexpected behavior of the car throws off your entire race, and can even spin your car out if it's really bad. On an SE or a TT where off-track is disallowed, this could even end your race.

Now I am not advocating that you should plow through everything in your path with impugnity - but this bug should be addressed. It's been prevalent in the game fr quite a while now.
