Some collision detection problems..

Hi! I''ve been coding a very simple futuristic racing game with openGL, in which the space ship is supposed to float a little above the road. The ship is a triangle and I thought I''d do it so that I have a normal vector in each corner pointing down to the road and then rotate the ship so that the ship stays on the road and moves up and down when there are up- and downhills.. Am I completely wrong? Anyway, how should I do this, and how can I check if there is a road polygon under the ship.. If you have any ideas, I''d be very happy to hear them. Thanks! Jarkko

I don''t think the shadow is supposed to rotate with the ship, plus it''s height should be fixed to stay on top of the track.

Actually it''s not a shadow.. It''s just a test thing I did for the collision detection when I started it.. I wanted the ship to check the collision at that spot. In each corner I mean.. I just drew it so that I would think about it more easily - some visualition I mean..
