What a hard hard road it's been... And it's just Wednesday morning for me!
This week's Dailies have made me change my outro message from "That means, 'I love you!'."(in reference to my intro Eep! Opp! Ork! Ah-Ah!" greeting) to "Race craft and clean racing. Priority #1".
I see people doing whatever it takes to make a pass on the outside rather than holding station and setting up a pass later on. People knowing the strengths of their car, but not acknowledging the weaknesses.
Again with the placing me amongst players who are a couple seconds slower than my qualy times. I've won 8 races in a row, combining Race A and Race B. I finished 2nd after starting 18th in Race C. That was with the winner pitting and me having to fight/navigate a majority GT-R elitest field, who felt they all owned the track.
My very last race in Race B, I finished 3rd. I battled five, count 'em, five F1s at the start behind me. Each time I started on pole, I held my line and let P2 pass and I got right behind. Every race.
Now that players kind of saw my pattern of gentlemaness, they saw it as a weakness. So, at T1, they pounce to upset my car's braking. Pounce to upset my acceleration speed. But I maintained my composure.
I wanted that CRB. I was at A/B and after 7 hard races, I'm sitting at A/A. I think this will be the one race to bump me back up to A/S.
Those F1s can't handle for crap. I have to release the throttle near slow down for them to navigate any part of the circuit with a curve. I pass two knuckleheads on Lap 2. The once P2 F1 checks out because it left two F1s for to occupy myself with. That leader still still hitting the walls after three races. If only they understood the that car has to be slowed in the corners.
Anyway, the end result was me holding station behind the P2 F1 and getting that blue S in the results screen. Job done and I'm ready for tonight's Manu at BMB.
