Some more general info on this :
the problem is not restricted to this particular route and situation but actually appears - in a more innocent form - whenever an activity is resumed.
The advanced physics creates a 'wheelslip' situation when the update time is low or inconsistent - as, for instance, when the update rate is low due to low FPS.
However, on resuming a saved session there is also an inconsistency in the update time, and this causes a very short wheelslip. Normally this goes almost unnoticed, but in a critical situation as detailed above, the system does not recover from this momentary wheelslip.
In my view, the occurance of wheelslip should be suppressed in the first few seconds after restarting a session, to give the advance physics time to 'settle down'.
