Yeah, that's what happens: you get off track and you can race around but the landscape doesn't get any closer. You can spin out, turn around, and head back to the track if you want. It seems the longer you stay off course, the more glitchy the whole thing gets. My car disappeared, tho i could still hear it and it was still accelerating. And every once in a while i could see the Motorsports track go blink for a split second. After i hit my Audi's top speed, i decided to stop...afraid that all the glitchiness would somehow affect the rest of my game!
