One of EVERYONE biggest complaints is dirty driving. Over at OzCoMoBros racing we have been trying to keep things as clean as we can... Here is a video from our Season 8 pratice at Monza in Standard (non modified) Alfa 8C's on Sports Mediums...



The Battle ended with MrT running wide and getting bogged in the sand and I (being the camera car) ran into the back of Arie while he was in a drift and got oddly thrown off the track.

Enjoy

PS, I messed up the sounds so please make your own engine sounds ;)
 
I stopped watching after 1:15 after I had already seen a shortcut and another car make a pass in the grass. You guys weren't hitting anyone, but it's definitely far from "clean"
 
The short cut you speak of was where i went too deep on the brakes, you will notice I lift off the throttle not to gain any advantage and stay behind the car ahead.
The over take on the grass was only 2 wheels on the grass which is fine within our Rule where you "should" keep 2 wheels within the white lines

Thanks for the comments, just a shame you didnt watch the rest of it

In the spirit of fairness, I watched the rest. There is definitely a cleanliness as far as race etiquette....therefore I change my statement and agree with you. (I still don't like seeing dust fly on a straightaway though) While that is an easier track to be clean, most people aren't that patient in the tight chicanes of Monza, so well done keeping your spacing. I'm a little jaded as I'm used to running a in a league where this is the norm. Whenever I try random online races, this is never the case and I usually get frustrated. The only time I can find clean racing online nowadays is the occasional shuffle, or if someone is doing a "race series testing". The latter can get frustrating as when I join, the host typically has his car tuned for the track and has gotten 100 laps out already therefore leaving me to hang back for about ten laps or so until I can really perfect my braking points down to the inch for the particular car/track combo. Hence why I love spec racing with prohibited tuning in my league. Long story short...kudos to you.

Thanks again, I know what you are saying. It has taken us a long time to get to this positon and "mind set" of racing. You just need to look a my first videos to see how much bumping and ramming of eachother went on! I totally agree with you, this is why I do not race in public rooms and run my own league. I have manage to get everyone who races in my room on a Tuesday Night in the "Gentlemen Racing" mindset. It is a nice feeling knowing you can take a corner side by side and not get pushed off!

Keep on racing :)
