Hi, Yes I've noticed that too and when I'm too close (bumping) another driver. Basically you have to ease off on the gas and jerk the wheel to release this "magnetic" effect.

The word is Centrifugal, which by the way only applies as momentum carries you into the wall, and is nullified by Newtons second law of motion. But, let's not get too deep into physics shall we?

No, the word is Centripetal. And he is correct, and you are not.

You're welcome.
Take it easy on your "race car" that you own, and have crashed.

A reactive centrifugal force is the reaction force to a centripetal force. A mass undergoing curved motion, such as circular motion, constantly accelerates toward the axis of rotation. This centripetal acceleration is provided by a centripetal force, which is exerted on the mass by some other object. In accordance with Newton's Third Law of Motion, the mass exerts an equal and opposite force on the object. This is the reactive centrifugal force.
I do try, but it is racing, and wrecks happen in racing.
Btw here is a link to a couple pictures of my "race car" in the finishing stages of its rebuild.

Nothing of centripetal or centrifugal, when you hit something specially in a car IRL (and i know what im talking)you always rebound a little and grind, in GT5 you just stick to the wall, like velcro!
Yes I have noticed this too. I thought it was due to Love..You know...attraction. Seems all my cars love walls!!!

I've never noticed this happening, except at Indy or Daytona or where I am otherwise carrying a lot of momentum that should tend to keep shoving me into the wall. It does seem a little odd the way it works on the ovals though, I'll probably notice it all over the place now.

I've noticed it--I thought it was just me. Cars do seem to "stick" to the wall and then spin even in a zero throttle situation. You rub up against a wall and then kind of expect to just rash the up car and keep going but instead you spin out. I've never ran a car up against a wall in real life so I can't comment on whether this is realistic or not...

The walls aren't just sticky at Indy and Daytona, their vacuums. Been doing a lot of laps of the Indy speedway for the current tuner shootout and have lost count of the number of times that the car I'm testing has gotten sucked up against the wall because the game apparently thought I was to close even though I was parallel to it and not in contact before it sucked me in.
