Greets, I was in 2nd place during a deathrace nearing the finish line.

Unfortunately, just before I could cross the line, my car hit an invisible wall and flew back and to the right. I did not miss any check points and followed the track for the whole race. I was near the middle-right of the track when I hit the invisible wall.

I mentioned this in chat and *Rezeak* looked at the video. He said it was a bug.

You can see this bug happen in video: 109296

Jump to turn 109.. At turn 110 or 111 you will see my car hit an invisible wall just before the finish line.

Thank you for your time.

Technically, not an invisible wall, rather an impact with the track surface.

Still a bug, but it appears to be a bug with the collision mesh of that chassis (Cadrona).

In the screenshot, the cursor is at the lowest, and most-left, point possible to still select the vehicle, indicating that the mesh extends to that point.

So, as your suspension compressed coming over that little bump the mesh impacted the ground at 78mph.
