It's a bit difficult to know what exact revision you downloaded and tried ...
actually, I remember we integrated in Torcs-NG some collision code improvements
by Christos Dimitrakakis ... but not sure about february or march ...

This could explain the difference with Torcs (and the exact download day 
actually matters).

The best you could do would be to update to the current SVN revision
and test again ... to see if things are still the same.
This would help us.

Currently, we don't have Salty track in the trunk, and I'm under the impression
that Andrew is currently working on it in sdl-port branch
(as the environment completly changed). We have licence issues with this track,
so we won't release it in the state of february.

Cheers,

Jean-Philippe.
