So back in the days of 2000 where it was once cool to play F1 2000, I was strolling around in a qualifying session having started my inlap on the Hungaroring circuit. Carelessly or consciously I don't remember which, I let my Jaguar hit the left side barrier on the start/finish straight going into the first turn. Having lost control whilst travelling flat-out at racing speed, my car veered off into the gravel traps and hit a ramp inches away from the grandstand. Then came something I have only experienced once at the circuit concerned. My car was launched atleast 30 feet up into the air before plummeting straight back down which would surely have ruined the driver's career had it been in real time. Fascinated by what I just witnessed I didn't need any more motivation to begin viewing the replay and had I been able to save the motion clip, this would have been heading straight into the archives.
Some time later I was once again driving recklessly in my Jordan round the Magny-Cours circuit. Having seized on an opportunity to force someone off course I purposefully clipped the rear wing of the car infront of me expecting nothing but shades of colour to flash straight past me as the driver lost his back end. What actually happened was another one-off, possibly something I deserved for my devious tactics and a situation that I have yet to repeat. My car decided he suddenly wanted to bend the rules of physics and instantly hit reverse at full speed in the other direction. Like before I hit the view replay button and called my sister down to witness the spectacle.
I have other stories concerning the game's abnormalities that you might find interesting but I'd also like to hear of some of yours. So describe some of the weirdest game glitches and system flaws you have experienced in your years of gaming. Thank you.
