Thanks for that info. He wished me luck in a race a couple of weeks ago, after i had not raced for almost two months (I got annoyed at the lag for Australians/New Zealanders). But my hand controller wasn't on (for texting efficiently) so by the time I could reply, it was too late ... I felt bad indeed. I need to get a keyboard attached somehow ...
A "Your's" button would be great eh ...This is the only penalty I've had so far. P1 gets on the curb and loses traction, which makes him swerve over into me. No big deal. Then, approaching the next turn, we're both in a bad situation. I brake to give him room. He goes wide to make room for me. We both end up screwing ourselves, by trying to be nice. Next guy gets on my outside, where you should never be outside. I got a 2 second penalty and end up 5th. The original P1 quit the race.
Not sure what the lesson is, here. It's either keep being nice, and good things will happen, or be aggressive, and make the other guy back down.
...
Certainly Jedi's are returning because, I saw so many using the "Force Push".In my experience, there's no such thing as luck...... Try using the Force.
Tyrell Meadow is a Motorsport coach . At Motorsportcoach .com a awesome guy to race withOh, the #1 guy. I'd like to race against the #1 guy. You should've threatened to eat his family in the pre-race chat, then put the pressure on and wait for him to mess up.
Just kidding. I know you're too nice for that.
3rd race didn't go so well. Started 4th, was good for more than half, good racing. Then someone tried to pass me into the 4 apex turns on the outside (why?) and when I slowed to give him room I hit a kerb on the inside which threw me into him. Of course I got a 2 second penalty for it and he isn't happy. Think that's enough for me tonight.
Doing DTG in the RC F. Starting 2nd behind Huracan.
Yeah, I kind of figured that out last night, I normally spend my seat time doing longish custom races against the AI in PC2 with damage on full so have learned to try to avoid contact at all costs, I quite surprised to find damage was set to off for the dailies. I did have fun though, I just don't want to get lured into the habit of barging or nudging opponents just for the sake of a position or two.
The problem in the daily races is in a tightly packed field it's not a position or two, the entire field will gladly take advantage and pass you if you're trying to avoid contact at all costs. Got a car 0.3 in front and another 0.3 behind when you start braking for a chicane? The only way to guarantee to avoid contact is to basically pull over and let the car behind pass before it gets to that stage, but there's another car not far behind them who you'll have to pull over and let past at the next chicane and so on.
He was definitely much slower than that, but matchmaking puts people that can run 1:47 laps together with those that do 1:56 laps. I was doing 1:54 laps until then to make a no stop work while being able to speed up after everyone pits, which is why I could brake after the 150 with the AMG. Yet even braking late with still 0.7 sec gap, I guess he saw the time decreasing on the run up and figured to make a deep dive. If I had somehow managed to steer clear he would have gone off.
