I understand your point...which is why I didn't press the issue on the first race. I figured it would be fun to see where it ended up. On a typical 450pp night the DeLorean is mediocre at best so I too was expecting you to be at the back of the pack. Had we run all 10 laps at Daytona, I'm sure you would've won since there was no way for me to even draft pass you.
there were numerous complaints last week on nurb too, I suppose we're all wrong, racist, liars or all of the above.
Actually, he did hit your car last night. The first lap of Tsukuba he dive bombed, then from the inside position he tracked out on exit pushing you into the dirt. On the first turn of any track, you need to maintain your line and provide adequate room for the driver to your inside or outside. This goes for any turn but it is crucial on the first turn where cars are still running 2-wide.
oh, i didn't know which car hit me, there were so many! i think i hit every car that passed me in one race.
Also, grenade is usually the one weaving back in forth on GVE, adding to the annoyance of a delorean running around on muscle car night.
Same here, but I think it was midway through lap 2 that I could finally open the throttle completely through the first technical section of the track.
Agree or disagree, I don't want to see it. At 140 mph, if you did that on a real track you'd be heading for the safety barriers. Acceptable is a move immediately exiting the turn before the straight, and a second move before the turn at the end. Take the back straight at tsukuba for example. exiting the hairpin you typically track out to the left. It is acceptable to move over to the right in one swooping curve. Then when you reach the end of the straight, if no one is outside of you, you can move to the left to set up for the final turn. If you weave any more than that, I would call it unsportsmanlike. No one else will be doing it so just focus on racing clean and hope they don't catch your draft. The draft is the same for everyone so you gotta just live with it. If you are worried about being draft-passed on the last lap...place yourself in 2nd position and wait to make your move.
Ehh whatever. Its in the OLR so please don't violate it...we could get into numerous discussions about the physics in this game...starting with how a 2600kg pick up truck can take sharp turns at 100mph without flipping over. The draft is there to promote action in the game. Without it, everyone would pretty much be driving by themselves after a few turns because there would be absolutely no way to pass unless someone made a major mistake or your car was faster to begin with. So take the draft as a challenge, not as something to cheat.
Well if we don't come to a resolution, the same **** will happen every week. I'd say this monday was much cleaner than previous mondays. Last Monday I had fun every race and I don't recall any major issues...but then again, I don't have to let things go because I simply forget. Maybe there was an issue last Monday...I honestly don't remember. I just remember having fun battling grenade for 2 laps at nurburgring.
