I have had this problem with every version of both TORCS and Linux
that I have used over the past 5 or so years, since first trying TORCS.
Not all tracks are this way but a lot of them, some like the very long
track "spring" something? especially. This is the track I always check
first on a new installation.

the odd thing is the last installation of Linux and TORCS was when I
installed Ubuntu 9.04 and right out of the box, I am sure I tried this
track, noticed that it was not broken in the way you described, so
excitedly I went and made my usual settings, and the track was broken.
I did try to return to the default, I tried uninstalling and
reinstalling but nothing corrected this problem and I ended up
wondering if I was mistaken to begin with. I have virtually given up on
TORCS for this reason and because it seems the developers are now more
interested in doing windblows versions.
