It's a popular technique used by police to turn cars around whereby they tap the back quarter of the car they're chasing with their own to spin it out.

Wow that's cool!
Of course you should have that in a racing game too since that's how real cars behave.
Sure that's how real cars behave, but this is not how race car drivers behave.
Unfortunately it is how people in forza 2 online races behaved. Not only spinning you out, but forcing you off track into the wall and pretty much out of the race with damage.
If you want it real also add disqualifications and banning you from races for x days after breaking the rules.
But in Forza 3 your car just ghosts and goes right through the other cars if you try to do stuff like that.
How come there are tons of videos like this then?
Did they fix it later or is there a setting like the penalty setting in GT5 that ghosts out cars that try to ram you / are out of control? How does the engine decide when to ghost you, this is not obvious no braking or ramming. How I understand GT5 does it is ghost people out that deviate too much from the driving line and are likely to go off the road. You can still bump draft or behave like an ass on the straights. (And promptly get booted out of the room)

Well I've only played a couple of matches when it first came out but from what I remember the car just ghosts when you try to hit other players. But i'm sure in player matches you can set it up so it doesn't ghost, and thats probably what those videos are from.
