I just sent Bob out on another run through the Dream Car Championship to earn daddy some money. The race at Le Mans just started and it was pouring down rain. Some of the hardest rain I've seen yet.
So, I put on the rain tires and send him out.
He takes off the line and shots past everyone, of course, and he is throwing up a huge rooster tail of water.
As he goes through the switch backs, the camera is shooting him from front, looking back (on the television camera).
As he enters the one corner it looks for a minute like there was a fire behind him. Maybe just the exhaust back fire I thought.
Then he came up to the sharp bend before going onto the straight and the television camera was doing a somewhat far away shot. All of a sudden it looked like this huge fireball exploded behind the car! I was shocked. What did Bob do to this thing?
When he got onto the straight, it disappeared.
And then as he entered the first chicane it happened again.
This time the camera was a slight side angle, letting me see exactly what was happening.
He was slowing for the corner and the brake lights were coming on and in the massive rain, they were lighting up the rooster tail like a Christmas tree!!
Has anyone else seen this before? It's quite amusing and even after figuring it out, it still does look like a huge fireball behind the car when taken from certain camera angles.

Turn up the TC a bit.
) if the car generated any kind of smoke the smoke would turn red because of the tail light.
