The CLR flipped under a very specific set of circumstances, but mostly because it had a side profile that looked like this:
As did many of the cars in the very end of the GT1 era (the Audi R8C has serious problems with body panels being ripped off the car at speed for the same reason), but the Mercedes was by far the most exaggerated in shape. That, when coupled with the car's suspension problems and the wake of the Viper in front of it while cresting a hill, caused extreme lift forces (because it was basically acting as an airplane wing when the front wheels lifted a little bit) and threw it up in the air. It probably would have launched even if it didn't have a flat bottom in that specific situation.

I think that picture is a little exaggerated though, lol And since you mentioned other cars... Heres the Porsche
just trying to make a joke, don't take it the wrong way

1998 Petit Le Mans was the same thing. The GT1 crested the hill at high speed in the wake of another car greatly disturbing the air that would normally go under the car without causing any problems. That air cause enough lift to raise the front wheels off the ground, and threw it. The same situation done with a car with a more balanced aerodynamics package (like the TS020) or a traditional open top car (like the various Rileys) most likely wouldn't have done that.

It seems we can use our own names / custom names in GT6 👍

Its a shame we most likely can't use custom names online and have to use our PSN ID.
I would think up the most dirty repulsive custom name ever.

Is it me or the Accelerate 'X' at the left bottom part of the screen means we can fast forward the replay?

Is it just me or do the graphics look kind of bad on this picture?

If you spend time looking at games like Project Cars on the PC then GT6 does have pretty bad graphics. They are low screen resolution (so lots of jaggies) and use pretty low res textures.

You were expecting better after the GT6 demo? Everything else is just bullshots
