so, i'm having a hard time trying to figure out if what i'm seeing is an optical illusion, or if there is something wonky with the way the GPB bikes move in certain situations?
for my example, i'm going to use the Nemuno Ziedas v0.6 track (either NDS or not, don't matter) which is where i saw this behavior for the first time.
when you get to the first uphill climb in the last sector of the lap, and as you come over the rise and have the bike cranked over to the left, the bike (to me) appears to be moving sideways in a kind of crab-like movement, as opposed to turning with the line. it may be a trick due to the shadow in this section, as well - i'm really not sure.
i mean, the bikes behave fine, from a physics point of view - it just looks rather odd....?
p.s. - it's more noticeable the wider you take the crest/corner
i could post a vid, but i think it's better if people just tried it for themselves and tell me what their impressions are... cheers! :D
This is a well known fact, many times addressed by for instance Stout Johnson.
Yeah try Mugello and watch the crabbing it is even more obvious but nothing can be done until Pib sorts it out.

oh, wasn't aware - thanks for the info, and good to know it's not all just in my head :D
Or is it because we see it too we are as crazy as you...................... :o
