Summary	06571: raveracw, raveracj: Acceleration and gear shift controls frequently stop responding temporarily
Description	While playing, at least once per race, the controls seem to go haywire (attempting to shift up causes the game to shift down, the car will not accelerate properly) for at least a couple of seconds. Quite frustrating since this typically costs me my lead position, or the race altogether :) Sometimes braking appears to fix the situation, but I cannot get that to work reliably. It's most definitely not a controller issue since other racing games (including ones on the same platform) do no exhibit this.

No.13826 EoceneMiacid Tester May 5, 2017, 20:54	I have attached an input file. The problem occurs in the last ten seconds of the race. Please do not mind my mediocre playing.

I'm trying to narrow down the exact symptoms, using automatic transmission seems to work fine, it's just that every so often manual transmission seems to glitch slightly. At least that's what it seems like.

No.15622 EoceneMiacid Tester Oct 26, 2018, 10:06	Just played a few games again, and I can't reproduce it anymore either. It most certainly wasn't a hardware problem since raveracw and acedrvrw were the only games that exhibited the problem (and I play lots of racing games on MAME with the exact same control setup) Oh well, problem is fixed, bug may be closed
