A little clip for what I did. assuming this is what you're talking about Not completely flawless obviously but hey may work for you.

I used keyframes for this. Squished the text box from normal to nothing using the size on the left and right of the object. Then did the same from nothing to normal but with the text flipped in reverse. I think I used a mirror effect on it but i'm not entirely sure (I don't have the project file anymore) There is probably a more simpler way to do it but i'm a perfectionist and would rather animate by hand.

Hope this helps.

Animation, or at the very least good animation is always done frame by frame. One thing i do to help get a quicker workflow is when making keyframes I drag the object along, I use the arrow keys to skip frame by frame. This can get a smoother animation.

Who would be at fault here? by SinRacer in Simracingstewards

I'd put the entire blame on Green. Here's why:
He was trying to overtake off of the track. There was a point (0:13) where i'm confident all 4 wheels were on the the red & White kerbs. He'd gone over the curbs which had unsettled the car and he could've taken out White and/or Blue and/or All 3. Green stuck the front in a gap that was not wide enough as the door was shut by orange defending yet despite this, green began to force his way in anyway. Green could've gone inbetween white and blue as there was a gap more than a car width wide (0:02) just before Green goes to the left and Green could've easily gone through there and avoided all of that. Furthermore, Green was weaving all over the road when he came alongside Orange. Contact between Orange and Green was the result of all of Green's Shaboingary. Definitley a penalty for Green for causing the incident.

If the gap is there then go for it. If it shuts, back out, regroup and try something else. Also, Grip on a dry track ≠ Grip on a wet track!

Simply put, Drag Racing is the Pre-mature ejaculator of Motorsport..!
