A summary to go with the Beetle glitch pictures to tell you what's going on... But basically, I came upon this glitch when I was playing Gran Turismo 3, and I had messed around with GameShark...I turned on "1 Lap Win", but it wasn't working with this race...None-the-less, I was driving a maxxed-out Beetle RSi on the Rome Circuit (Beetle Cup, Beginner's Level) which was faster than all the cars on the field...But once I got past the first turn, that's when the glitch started to happen with the red position #2 Beetle Cup car...First, it started to lose control and spin around in circles on the track at a very high speed and crashed into me before the second turn on the straightaway...Then it dissappeared, flying off into the air above the track, and traveled around the circuit like this, and wouldn't come crashing back down on the track unless I was nearby the car (In most cases)...And it would do this for the remainder of the race, going forwards and backwards throughout the track...None of the other cars were affected with a glitch, and the glitched car was the only one not to finish the last lap with therest of the field... 01 - This is the Beetle Cup car (Which the replay is focused on), which was in the #2 position both when I passed him up and when it started to glitch...This is right as it started to glitch and spin...Note how fast it's going... 02 - Another spin-out shot 03 - Now this is when it first floats in the air above the track, right after it crashes into me and into turn 3 04 - Again, spinning around, note the speed 05 - The first hairpin turn...That's me in the RSi, as the Cup car barely misses me...I crash right into the turn, distracted from the chaos of the glitched car, and trying not to get hit by it again... 06 - Here it is, floating WAY ahead of the rest of the field, as noted by it's positon on the track map... 07 - Another flying picture 08 - This one's a crash, right before it completes it's first lap...Note that we're STILL all WAY behind... 09 - After what it does in picture 08 and crosses the finish line to complete a lap, it turns around and goes backwards... As it's floating back around the track, it's heading right TOWARDS us...I'm in the #2 position (#1, had not the glitched Cup car completed a lap), and it hits me as it's floating in the air (No contact on the track surface)... After it knocks me back, it crashesback onto the track... 10 - Just another floater picture... 11 - Now here's the replay focused on my RSi...This is right as the glitch starts to happen, where it hits me...Note how fast I'm going on impact...I get knocked totally off balance and right into the wall of turn 3... 12 - This is me getting knocked as explained in 09...I get knocked back almost 2 turns, completing probably a 900-degree+ rotation before I come to a complete stop... 13 - It's kinda hard to see, but this is me and the blue position #3 cup car pushing a few cones on the track...We actually didn't hit them though...These are freshly hit cones off the track from the glitched red Cup car AS it was flying above the track again... This was really fucked up, yet funny... -Nito 6/17/2004
