Thank you very much!! Those links are really helpful!!
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, I was just making a raycast vehicle,
and there is almost no complete information in the web. I'm reducing the
number of rigid bodies to put as much cars as possible running at the same
time. I have no rush. I'll do it on my time and make the best I can.
Thanks,
Dirso.
