This guy dropped into my 90's JDM room last night as the race was starting. I usually give pubbers the benefit of the doubt, but after last night I'll be booting anyone not on my list at the start of the race...or just hosting in my private lobby.

I know some people believe "rubbin is racing". This is not rubbing, this is punting, pit maneuvering, and above and beyond anything that might be considered acceptable contact in online racing. This guy was just out to push everyone off the track.

 
I almost joined that room my self. Looking at this im glad i didnt.
 
Once he was gone, things were much better. I host a 450pp room almost every night. My YouTube channel has some better highlights, including the race after this one at Suzuka...

In real life, a race driver who did that would be banned, shame on him the dirty git!


:yuck:👎:crazy:
 
I often did that in Destruction Derby RAW in my old ps2...
 
The video you presented honestly shows racing simulation n00bs in a nutshell.
 
The guy was good enough to keep up despite his shenanigans so I wouldn't consider him a total nOOb. Some time was obviously spent tuning the car because everyone in my lobby is pretty quick. The only excuse he could possibly have was not realizing we had a sport-soft tire restriction...but it only takes one turn to figure that out, not 2 laps.
 
Lol, good that he left. He THOUGHT he was going to win his way.
 
God. i cant stand drivers like that. shows how little skills they have. this guy couldnt even take a turn properly. then he wants to muscle his way into other drivers line, horrible. ill keep an eye out for his name and put him on my vote to kick list..
 
Chuyler I think you have the same TV as me >.> Sharp Aquos?

He wasn´t the only one who did some bad driving.

0:20 The NSX cutted him
0:26 The Station Wagon hit him also on 0:56
0:56 The Supra? cutted the corner? too fast in the corner? and got ghosted
1:10 Don´t know if this was a punt or the NSX? braked too late
1:34 I´m not sure if he moved the Supra or the Supra moved him
1:40 The Supra hit him in the side.

braked too late, but fair comments the rest of it.
 
0:20 The NSX cutted him

The NSX had completed the pass on the green civic at about 0:18. That's about as clean a pass as any on that turn. At 0:19 the green Civic taps the NSX in the bumper then at 0:20 the black Civic runs into the NSX. The initial tap from the green Civic is what slowed the NSX down enough for the black Civic to hit it.

0:26

You got me there. The driver of the black civic races with a controller. He was a little too close there...but no positions changed.

The Station Wagon hit him also on 0:56

This is true...but wouldn't you hit him if he just tried to pit maneuver you on turn 2 then pushed you out of your driving line on turn 3? I know the driver, that was most certainly retaliation for the previous stunts. He is one of the cleanest/fastest racers in the room and if he its someone that hard, it is intentional.

0:56 The Supra? cutted the corner? too fast in the corner? and got ghosted

Both the wagon and the Civic were way out side the driving line. The NSX had the correct line and the Supra (me) was following it. The ghosting occured because the wagon bounced back into the driving line after hitting the Civic.

1:10 Don´t know if this was a punt or the NSX? braked too late

The NSX braked at the appropriate time but noticably before the Civic (watch the brake lights). Since the civic was inches from his bumper it resulted in a punt. You can't tailgate someone into a brake zone like that and not cause a punt.

1:34 I´m not sure if he moved the Supra or the Supra moved him

Since I was in the Supra, I can assure you, he intentionally bumped me twice trying to get more track. I held the center of the track leaving plenty of room for him to run along side me. He bumped me once, he bumped me twice then I began to turn in for the kink in the road and he hit me a 3rd time trying to straighten out the kinks.

1:40 The Supra hit him in the side.

You're damn right I did! I saw most of what transpired during the race and considering he went wide on every other turn i ducked inside and figured I would occupy the inside of the track and push him out to see how he liked it.

Apparently he didn't enjoy being bumped around because the next turn he didn't brake. It looks as though he was attempting to punt me off track and missed.

Some amount of contact is to be expected on this narrow track. Light contact, that which does not cause ghosting or cars to fly off the track is generally acceptable but we all stick to GTP OLR and give back positions if there was too much contact.

For reference, here is a video of several of the same drivers from another night. Notice how everyone can run double-wide through many parts of the track without pushing each other into the dirt or ramming into one another. Sure, there is some contact, but no one goes off track due to someone else's actions. Furthermore, when inappropriate contact is made (the white 240rs for example), the driver causing the contact politely gives back the position. The only exception being baja in the miata on the 2nd hairpin. he hit the blue 300zx and caused him to spin out but did not back off. He was later removed from the room due to complaints as well.

That was clearly bad driving, most of the other drivers on the track had to adjust their lines, and you can see that he frustrated towards the end because he started cutting corners in an attempt to hit someone
