Please don't do that because you ruin other peoples laps at the same time.

Sorry, I'll change it but then jasukoski is on 0
 
Great race that boys , I do recall saying that ram boosting will result in disqualification , I felt that a couple the new comers were doing this a lot , they need to checked out and punished , also can we make sure headsets are turned off for the next race , as these can contribute to poor connections , look forward to the next race ..
U best watch out at the top dan , I coming to knock you off your perch ,,, lol
 
PETE...congratulations on the win mate. I forgot to say this in the room as I was too busy moaning lol. There were warnings before the race about bump drafting but there was one person that was doing this from the moment the flag dropped.

I was right up there at the start but got spun out, no problem it looked like a racing accident so I got on with it. I worked myself right back to the front but all the way, this guy was bumping me all around the track...all down the straights and even going in and around the corners.
How are you supposed to get round a corner when you lift off for it, only to get bumped and re-accelerated into it. Eventually, what I thought might happen did happen....my rear wheel collasped and I spun going into turn 1 whilst in 1st place.

Now here's the other issue, I was under the impression that the race was extended to 15 laps and a pitstop. Maybe I got this wrong but I pitted anyway. I clicked yes to the recommended 1 litre of fuel and was shocked to still run out of fuel going into the final lap. This is the problem...slip streaming saves fuel but because I was all alone on the track after my pitstop...I used more fuel, ran out and finally finished out of the points.

Not a good race from my point of view but, still enjoyed the event none the less.
 
Pete why u bump me all the time? :O U drive right behind me in corners and push me...
But good race still. Haha my fuel end in lap 14/15 :D
 
Had a disaster and spun off in the first or second lap and got meeself tied up in the gravel and couldnt get out,but struggled on.
Decided on a tactical fuel stop and got in first which proved a good move in the end.So it was that on the final couple of laps I jumped a few places with opponents running out of fuel,so 4th place from a bad start wasnt that bad.

Now to the after race video.
Ive watched the early laps so far and I can say this without a shadow of a doubt.JamesMS34 showed a blatant ignorance to the bump drafting rule and not only was he into the rear of SirMatt but had a good go at Zhaviour as well and should have been disqualified(although i think he spun out and quit)

Nevertheless i saw a lot of aggressive driving up front as is to be expected and i still think people should remember that when your the driver in front and going into a corner,youd like to think that you can take that corner in confidence without someone trying to undertake you and thus the inevitable happens....you get pushed out and can result in a spin out.

And the whole reason Im mentioning this is that the next race is at Monaco and thats where theres more likley to be that sort of thing happening and in particular crucial corners also and all drivers need to give the driver in front the right of way on the corners and dont try to undertake unless you can do it without bumping the kart in front and you got clean air ahead.

I would like to think that the rest of the drivers would be thinking along similar lines.

One other point to mention,you cant have all the races so far with the driving line option on...and then someone decides that for last nights race that it shouldnt.
You have to remember that not all drivers that might enter the races are experts and certainly dont know all tracks like the back of their hand, so it is there as a guide and can halp reduce the likelyhood of unintentional collisions when someone can find a better line that they possibly could without it>but what you cant do is have certain features enabled for all races then remove options mid season,thats not strictly kosher is it?Lets have one person making these decisions and not whoever hosts the room and does the setup.

However well done to the top 3

I feel i need to post in order to clear my name , i did bumb cars occasionaly , but on most occassions tried not to , i also noticed that JamesMS34 ram boosted all the way round and for this i think he needs to be disqualified , or we can just set the rules to have it that anything goes ??
As for the driving line yes it was turned off but only after instruction to do so , i have hosted two times now and have set the rules to what i have been told to do, wen people want more laps who am i to deny this , i think the amount or laps should be voted on any way , as for pit stops , again it was down to driver discretion , its just that the laps should be high enough so that a pit stop is required , i did not pitstop in the last race and was only just able to finish with very little fuel left ,

Again if someone else wants to host then im happy with that , as to stop all the moaning !!!

I will tell Pete that driving line will be on for the next race and from then on. There will be reminder on bump drafting and deliberate dirty driving along with the threat of disqualification.
 
To be honnest GT5 had made this game so yu cant darft at all in qualifying... when it comes to racing drafting is part of it no matter if its norm draft or what we call bum draft.. pushin thru conners is normal.. tha track 85% of tha time on tha track yu could easily draft.. so stop wit this plaplaplalap let us race tha way we race we didnt crash anyone did we? i admit i bumdrafted and alot if am gettin banned for tha then kl ba am still goin to do it doe... its part of racing

I see what you're saying but many people's races are ruined because of bump drafting so it will not be allowed. People need to pass properly by going around fellow racers instead.

How about we meet halfway. If you bump draft and you spin the guy infront you are disqualified(James on Mart) but if you just bump draft then that is relatively ok. So bump drafting can result in disqualification but only if you spin the guy infront.
 
KartRacer69 will not be disqualified unless he has spun someone. If he has then he receives a 30 second penalty or something.
 
Proposed rule change:
Bump drafting is allowed if you do not spin or hit another driver off the race track. If you spin another driver once you will receive a 30 second penalty after the race. If you spin someone more than once then you are disqualified. You can avoid a penalty if you let the driver you spun catch and pass you i.e. Wait for him but after that feel free to race again.

Just say if you agree or not
