Re: [Torcs-users] Question on car skidding

[Arnaud C. <ace...@go...>]

Oooooh thanks for theses advices (on analogue device), I will try it this
evening :-)

I myself try to stay on the track most of the time but on certain tracks
like Ruudskogen, it's merely difficult, and when you are completely stopped
1 or 2 times during a race, you can imagine that you have mainly lost the
opportunity to be in the 3 first places at the end of the race.
