Something weird happens for me.
Driving Countach on Race 2, everything freeze at random timing but it doesn't give any error messages. Then I only have no choice but hit Esc key.
Freeze, I mean is, stops remaining timer, chrono on top right, AI cars and my car. But control of my car is still possible and can see accelerate, decelerate, boost and related simulation of heat through gauges and displays sprite of the car going to turn when apply steering, though it's not moving at all.
