Hard landing on the starting grid with MacLaren F1

Hi, all.

After a full update on the code, I experiment a strange problem,
with Simu V2 and Simu V3 :
with the Mac Laren F1 car, on many tracks, except (at least)
for the CG Track 2, the car is in a strange position on the starting grid :
nearly at 10 m high, front to the ground ... and of course it falls !
No way to get control on it, it keeps making strange movements up and down
and rolling ...

When I switch back to Simu V2 1.3.0, all works perfectly well.

I don't know if it is helps, but with Simu V3, I get this messages
on the console :

Is there some work left to update cars before to get them work perfectly
with the modifications to SimuV2/V3 since 1.3.0 ?

If so, do you know which car works on which track and which not ?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Don't know if it the same pb, but with many tracks and Mac Laren F1
or Jaguar XJ 220, the game freezes just before the ready message ...

Jean-Philippe.
