We created a triangle strip joining a series of wheel locations from previous frames, and rendered it using depth bias to avoid z-fighting where the generated triangles did not exactly match the underlying ground geometry. premultiplied alpha, we made a texture that was dark on one edge but had an additive glint on the other, which gave a 3D embossed look so the skid appeared to be slightly sunken.

Not only does it now give users 1 more option for handling z-fighting - it also setup the engine for some cool new features that will be coming out soon, including BSP and 2D clipping.
