Clean racing V Pass at all costs

I have found it interesting over the past few weeks, now that my racing league has finished, just how bad some "racers" are and how good others are.

Racing in a league we have minimal problems with crashes and ramming being almost non existent, but jumping on some open lobbies i think i have worked out what "bad drivers" do to ruin the experience.

They try to pass on EVERY corner.

Anyone who understands racing knows that on some tracks there are only 2 or 3 genuine passing spots. Classic example yesterday, racing in a great room on spa, 630 pp, a couple of guys enter and straight away, after about 10 races of no issues through Eu Rouge, carnage. Guys who know what they are doing will sit behind, get through clean and get a tow down the straight, clean pass into the first chicane, job done.

Same at Monza, good racers will close up, get a tow and pass, ordinary will start last on the grid, then dive bomb at the first chicane and try to make up 10 spots.

Not a rant, just an observation that dawned on me after the calm of our racing league!!

Not just trying to pass on every corner, but I would go so far as saying it's a general impatience. Then again, it's quite the reflection on society in general, isn't it?

yeah, i think your right, general impatience.

Some tracks are worse than others though, Cote is a classic, the only real spot for a "racing" pass is out of the tunnel into the chicane, but it goes pear shaped real quick if both drivers dont know what they are doing. Other than that, its generally wait for a mistake, or hit them off the line to get the pass.

Suzuka as well is tough to pass on, only a couple of spots to set up for a move, other than that its follow the leader and dont miss your brake marker

Agree on the impatience idea..
Maybe because of quick races that only last for 3-5 laps? (which also didn't justify the behavior)
