Power Ramping
Racing simulations are, for the most part, utterly sober experiences. Until, that is, you let the fan community at them. The Project Gotham Racing series,🅷 in particular, has seen a loose band of gamers surround a damage-model glitch called power-ramping or super-jumping, or anything else combining a superlative and some sort of 'leap'. While perhaps not as huge a movement as rocket jumping or stunting, power-ramping still gets its fair share of.
The trick appears to play on PGR's collision simulator having a spazz when two cars collide at just the right angle, sending one vehicle so highabove the course. And it doesn't even seem, either. But the regularity of it occurring means it's not surprising to see a line of friends motoring along. Silly sky-high crashes also cause fun times in GTR2, but we especially like the less-common but brilliant moments of collision-wrongery thatup in the original Driver.
