Interlagos and me don't go along well. I started racing with a slow 1:28 quali lap to see if I would be better off in the back, starting pretty much last. Not really. Sure T1 was no problem, yet then you've got to avoid all the wreckage, inexperience and impatient drivers trying to get back to the front. After making up a couple places a bad bump pass knocked me down again. Then the game decided to **** on me as well.
Launched backwards , DQ timer counting down and heavy SR down for driving the wrong way...
Next race, messy again, plenty bumping, I can't drive through the car in front of me, adjust your braking point sigh. Then bad luck strikes after I finally manage to escape the fighting back field. One inch too close to the edge, spun out, and back behind the mess again, DOH!
The race after I ended up reporting 5 people for repeated disgusting behavior. If you ram someone once and get 4 sec, why ram him again the next corner for another 5 sec? One car the game had completely given up on, he wasn't lapped or anything yet had a free pass to drive through everyone. Perhaps it happens when someone's SR drops too low? All 3 races I ended up with a white S, at least no SR points lost.
Then I updated my quali time between races to 1:20.490, enough of the back, starting 3rd now. The Porsche in 4th overtakes me, expected (driving the Bugatti myself), I brake on time, get punted from 2 cars back. Another car hits me from behind in T1, 2 sec penalty to start with and 'luckily' only drop to 5th as the first punter has created chaos in T1.
Unfortunately now I'm behind a dirty blocker. Last second blocks, squeezing, changing lines in the braking zone. After 4 laps he finally manages to catch me on his bumper with his antics, 10 sec penalty for me. I have to serve the 12 sec and fall way back. Luckily the rest of the race went fairly well with only a minor bump from behind without any penalty issued. I finished 6th in the end. I survived with a blue S, the punter and dirty blocker both had red ratings, justice. The dirty blocker finished far back, after serving many penalties I bet, unfortunately the initial punter finished in front of me.
Oh well, driving the Bugatti was fun, I made lots of clean over takes and only hit one car in the end, the dirty blocker. At least it wasn't boring although it cost about 3K DR to race there today. Some tracks you earn, some you spend.
