Or if you go off into the grass :-)  It'll shudder a bit then, I think.

One interesting note about the feedback... the overall amount depends
upon how far back you slide the driver's seat before the game starts.
A small child would sit closer, and so he is given less rough handling in
the wheel feedback (the wheel on the game I tried once would almost
yank itself out of your hands at times, which could be dangerous/hard
to a child).  A thoughtful touch.   best - kevin <kdarling@catt.ncsu.edu>
