That is a bad place to overtake, you're right. At the time - during the race as it happened - I felt like I had pulled up much closer to nose to nose than I actually had, now that I see the replay. But by the time we pass the first apex, I am ahead and the video shows that. Honestly, I was somewhat expecting - given our exchanges the previous few corners - that he'd back out a bit as I clearly got the better run on the straight and established the inside position before the esses. Much like I did for him at the top of the hill.

And as per usual for me, this incident really wasn't one of the ones that got to me last night. It's the last race of the night and the only time I thought to save a replay. Much worse happened in my previous races on what had previously been a clean track for me this week. Stupid me never thinks to actually save those replays.



As I said above, no not an ideal place to overtake. I admit that. My thinking at the time is up there, too. I don't have time before work to cut up and upload his perspective but his inputs go much further left than mine go to the right.



Like I told @RacingGrandpa I halfway expected he'd concede the position when I established the inside line and then crept ahead by the first apex - much like I did for him up at the top of the hill. Stupid me, I know.



Once again, what video are you watching? Show me where my inputs become a turn into him.

At 16 seconds into the video you're side by side. He's on the right following the right side of the track, which would leave you space on the left even if you stay side by side through the corner. You on the other hand are in the middle of the track pointing at the apex, which means your path will intersect with his unless he slams on the brakes or turns right and goes off track. You literally can't take the line you're taking without forcing him off track (or colliding obviously), but he can take the line he's taking and still leave you room.

So again I ask, where should he go? You're not in front of him. You're side by side. So by what rights is it your corner?


As for Goodwood I hope it's historical FR muscle cars with super soft suspension. Corvette, E-type, GT350, etc. That's only proper for that track. Full opposite lock and steer with the loud pedal :D

OK, you cut him off and smashed into the side of him, destroying your own race in the process. Better?

A bit. My point being is that words have meaning. Don't say one thing and then after having it refuted say you actually meant a different thing. It's arguing in bad faith and creates much more antagonism than is necessary.

I think some people have a better grasp on tact than other people.

Then an apple fell on his head and started the War against gravity. :lol:

Tell you what, I'll make an effort to be less antagonistic if you make an effort to be more receptive to criticism.

Deal?
 
PD's unwillingness to resolve issues with the penalty system/SR/DR means playing this game seriously is nothing more than an exercise in frustration. Only option apart from not playing is to go full Honey Badger. Race A is absolutely perfect for this endeavor - from the grid start to the final corner and all the hairpins in-between. Apologies to any inadvertently caught up in my wake of destruction and retribution punts.

Fingers crossed for one of the classic cars in n300 to run at goodwood. Have we ever had anything but the mini and the clio at goodwood? I should have a lot of time next week, so i really hope it's a combo i will enjoy. Definitely run some laps if not a race or two in each of the other combos aswell. Looks like a good week, after how poor this week is, for me.

Happy friday, y'all :cheers::gtpflag:

No way Newton ever said this. The man was a tactless, humorless zealot.

He was also rubbish in a Group 3 car.

Not so fun fact: It's claimed he didn't have an actual "apple moment". And he developed his theories on gravity and calculus while quarantined for 2 years during the Plague.

Now imagine if he used that time to play GT Sport. :eek::lol:

I wouldn't say you turned into them, but you were lined up for the second apex while they were still side-by-side on the inside line. They might have just panicked because the door was closing rapidly. It makes sense to take the apex if you think they're gonna back out, but that's basically never a safe assumption. Especially being on the outside line, you have everything you lose.

Sometimes putting pressure on someone can backfire. You want them to make a mistake, but if you're too aggressive that mistake might cost you as well. It happens to everyone. Risk assessment is everything.

I can't be bothered to make a second account either. :cheers:

Me too. Put all your less than perfect driving on one account like me.

So glad my awe full driving is yet to show up here, to be dissected so much! Lol, I just generally presume I’m in the wrong, or don’t have the race craft to figure out if I was right or not! 8)

Why do you think I use an alias here? I like to stretch the limits of the car.

I think you've hit right on my biggest problem, right there. It seems I'm either too aggressive or not aggressive enough. I have a hard time finding and maintaining the right balance of aggressiveness and patience.

It is hard to balance. You can sit behind someone and wait for an opportunity, but then a queue might build behind you and then things get messy. Sometimes you have to prioritize staying on the track at all costs, even if you concede a place, it's usually better than the alternative.

I just experienced the nastiest A race of the week. It was in the top split lobby. :lol:
I trust SR ratings about as much as I trust political polls. :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

Top split is like the Wild West. I ran with the top folks two races and ended up down to sr B. Classic post.
It’s like top split in a daily is more about cutthroat competition than good clean fun.
Haven’t they figured out FIA is in the game too?
Lol you get some also tans top daily split sometimes who will dive on you last lap for tenth it’s like really man?

I’m goin in on A now just got home from work...
 
As cool as @0604 s post was, Maggiore reverse gr3 race c is equally uncool, to me.
That trash is undrivable that direction for me. I entered and tried it just now.
Total jk.
That track stinks in reverse imo.

Back to sr C A race.
I like forward ok but reverse is not worthy of being in the game imo. It’s turrible.
