I don't congratulate people on a pass when the person they are passing ends up off the track...that's just my thing. Agree to disagree I suppose. See you on the track!
Agree to disagree definitely.
Nothing wrong with fairly winning the inside last turn of a race. It’s ok you don’t have to slow down because the driver behind is flooring it round the outside with no hope of staying on track.
I think we can all work at our techniques. Some more than others but what better environment to do it than online. Imagine the consequences if we tried some of the things we do if we did it irl!
I think most people have the correct mentality when it comes to racing beside others, it is only the skills that need practice
Thank you for your thoughts! As I sit in my imaginary pit garage with my imaginary sponsors breathing down my neck, I imagine this is what the imaginary race stewards would be debating on their way to delivering an imaginary verdict on my last lap last corner (mis)adventure
That was one of the most exciting finishes for me in my entire GT Sport career. For the record, I'm a B/S driver, and I've maintained S SR for at least 70% of the time. So I take critiques on my race craft pretty seriously. I'm always trying to improve, and I make efforts to be clean. But like most people, I think I'm cleaner in my head than I really am. That's confirmation bias for you...but I try to be open to when I could be wrong.
I've certainly been thinking about my last lap last corner incident, and you both raise very good points. In the heat of the moment, I had the draft, outbraked the Mazda into the 2nd last corner when the door was open, and pulled ahead into the final apex, beating him to it, and I felt that gave me corner rights. I felt the Mazda should've known the final corner was lost and yielded. To be fair, he did leave me a gap, and I took it (Senna quote and all
). But I do understand that it's more polite to leave some room for the overtaken to stay on track. He was on edge as well, because the Megane behind both of us was looking for a way through our little duel!
In my own conclusion after reflecting, both of you were right. I could've left more room, and he could've yielded sooner.
I do love the GT Planet community for the healthy debate, I'm always learning so much. I'll work on improving my race craft for the next race!
It could be problem in the race, gow many laps I can run this pace before I kill tyres? Sad thing is today I must visit my dentist on 17:00, she got some work to do... I hope she do it fast and I can join 18:00 race
