LOL nooooooooooo a slight nudge
LOL nooooooooooo a slight nudge
Problem was that this blocking caused a bit of a bottleneck so now certain expected braking patterns and now trashed and the 10 or so guys behind get screwed as a result. Whole race nearly ruined. Appears I gotta learn the art of the nudge. Or just not play at 2am just as the race goes live for the week.bump and run final corner??? just make sure its last lap so no payback and dont bump the off. There is an art to the slight nudge if someone is clearly blocking. I know that might not be a popular decision but to me if the person doing the weaving/blocking was having it done to them they would to it to you..........
Blocking on the straight is a dick move.Speaking of blocking at Monza, what's proper protocol if someone is purposefully trying to prevent you from passing on the long final straight? To the point where you make a move halfway down the straight to the inside or outside and the driver in front keeps waving side to side.

Definitely pays to be more patient/friendly. Quickly learned that it's 50/50 you'll lose a bunch of spots getting into some battle that's not really worth it. When you can just take a deep breath and let the other guy go on flexing.Its so funny how different people play the game -- if someone has a good run on me, I'm going to let them have the spot so that I don't ruin my race by unintended contact. So much less risk.
Blocking on the straight is a scumbag move. Here's how you should respond:

Everyone is pretty much shoehorned into the same 2 stop strategy
I used the nudge many times not a punt a nudge sometimes good results sometimes bad. to be honest i really dont understand all this thats dirty this is dirty. I have seen these sports car drivers run each other out of room all the time hell I watched one vette bump and run another vette for the win at 24hrs of Daytona. F1 guys run each other wide all the time to hold or gain a position and thats real racing this is juat a game..........I thinkProblem was that this blocking caused a bit of a bottleneck so now certain expected braking patterns and now trashed and the 10 or so guys behind get screwed as a result.

Too many people fail to realize that by fighting an obvious pass they slow themselves down and make it more likely they'll lose 2+ spots instead of just one.Its so funny how different people play the game -- if someone has a good run on me, I'm going to let them have the spot so that I don't ruin my race by unintended contact.

I'm running out of reasons to drive clean. Last race I got rammed off 4 times or more, couple times got a penalty for it, dropped from 3rd back down to 12th and to SR.A. Punt someone or bump them off, no penalty, gain positions. It can't be more backwards than it is now at Monza. The game does everything to convince you to drive dirty simply to survive.
Maybe SR.A will be cleaner, or just treat it like the game of pinball that it is. Monday war zone. At least it's not boring watching the gaps grow, and I don't have to worry about getting back in the even more dirty A/S lobbies. C/S was much better.
Add to that, best believe you'll get a 2s penalty for simply breathing if someone forgets to hit the brakes and flies within 5 feet of you through turn 1.I got two phantom 4 sec. penalties in Monza right now. Someone behind me obliterated the car in front of me with a punt, I escaped both without a touch and a clean raceline...and got the 4 sec penalty.
The game is completely bloken, they messed a good penalty system in the infamous update and never got it right Again.
Even the S lobbies are madness right now. Pubt intentionally and nothing happens, slight touch 2 seconds.

If so they are making a mistake. Most that leave with red are clean, it's the victim that get punished by PDTried all three daily races and I have noted a lot of red “S” at race end. I wonder if this weeks races are set up to try to weed out unsporting players from the “S” ranks?
i got dropped to A/A after getting a couple ptly of peple re- entering the track after going off @ suzuka (i always love those by the way you're just on track minding your business when an off tracker re enters hits you goes back off and you get the ptly) Anyway next race at A/A was in a mixed room of nothing above C/B and I was only one to finish the race lapped all the way up to 8th place and funny thing was the number on my car was 11 ??? seriously somthing wrong with the game will not be purchasing another this is the final oneI'm running out of reasons to drive clean.

Numbers on doors are only correct in a lobby with just one SR/DR class. You will still get the points you earn by placement.and funny thing was the number on my car was 11 ???

I graduated to B/S, but I suspect with what's going on at Monza, I should be down to C/C by Tuesday![]()
