If you want a penalty for putting a wheel off the track, then sticky
grass is the last thing you want. Peeling your car off a barrier after
hitting it at 150mph is a slightly larger penalty than having a sudden
spill of superglue under you. If this is supposed to be a *sim* then
this type of modeling of trackside physics makes a joke of it. I think
this type of nonsense is even too arcadey for an arcade game!
