Shadow problems

The problem I have is that while the car is static in the shade is correct, however when the car is moving shadow lengthens losing realism.

The light source, is the car with EntityX (Jeep1) etc. a main loop.

PositionEntity Fuente_Luz, EntityX(Jeep1,1)+.3, EntityY(Jeep1,1)+2, EntityZ(Jeep1,1)-.5

Any ideas.

I'd need some more information about the problem. What kind of shadow is it.

Shadows are dynamic, Fastext.

Have you tried it with the lightsource static rather than moving with the car?
