Decoded from SKIDMARKS_CD32's machine code: - Car physics: the per-frame engine/grip/steering update, gravity and jumps, the hill effect on the throttle, and body tilt. Replaces the reconstructed handling model. - The meaning of every .set value (separate drag, grip and power for human and computer drivers; steering, gravity, tow hitch), and the six handling presets, offered by a new Handling menu option. - Walls: the road edges are quadratic B-splines through the gates' ends. They match the painted road edges. - The real projection, which lifts points by their height; the height map is indexed by world cells, not screen pixels. - Tracks have one more gate than the stored count: the last gate was being dropped on every track. Computer drivers now follow the road between the walls and steer like the original's. Vehicle assets store the values as `handling`; older files still load. Docs describe the decoded logic.
