GT Curse
When, in any version of Gran Turismo, an otherwise flawless race with a seemingly guaranteed first place finish is suddenly interrupted by an inexplicable shunt in any corner otherwise taken perfectly fine any number of times throughout the race, resulting in a second or worse place finish.
I was on the last race of the formula GT series and i needed to get first to win the tournament. i was putting the hammer down, everything was going great, and then the GT curse struck! in the last corner on the last lap, from first place, i caught the grass and skittered wildly off into the distance. thus cementing the need to re-race the entire series.
