Well, I'm back and have been working on various tweaks this week, as well as a new track. The Northern Speedway is an oval sand circuit, so mucho-powersliding is the order of the day.

I've spent some more time trying to get to the bottom of the occasional crashes on the rally circuit.. it seems to be some weird memory corruption which makes it very hard to pin down. I will be putting the rally circuit, and also the new speedway circuit, on "probation" -- they will be used for one-off scheduled events but not yet for league events.

I've also made some more improvements to the collision resolution code, so the unrealistic bounce effect you get when cars nudge each other at speed should be removed; also the incidences of cars passing thru each other should be at least reduced.
