My Race Report (AM Tier @ Road America)
>> Incident
My grid after Q was 7th.
Right after green lights the 5th (in front of my car) driver did brake for some reason so did I, as expected!
The driver behind me (doesn't matter who) hit me and put me out. I was at 14th (last) before 1st corner.
For that I'd like to say thank you for mr. lack of racecraft! Hit behind = no scuses!
>> Racing
Couple of laps latter, Trying to recover from the "starting" mess I did hit an BMW (I'll omit his name) after he's attempt to reentering track at a slower speed in the end of straigh near canada corner, sorry buddy but I was going to fast and I'm not sure if you did check your mirrors. Anyways, my car has track rights over yours, so please, try to enter on track when it will not cause any issues to other drivers. After that I managed to put myself at 5th.
At lap 21 after something likr 15 laps in a very clean and close battle for 4th place I lost my rear end and hit a wall!
I lost my front right wheel, pit, repair, and than red tires (pit bug).
Did more 3 pits trying to figure if it was some pit config. It wasn't!
I had a chance to practice RA after all. I remained at the lobby until the race ended in respect to the other drivers.
>> Skills balance
I believe we should reconsider it somehow.
The pole did 2.05 (congrats) and almost everyone else was around 2:08 ~ 2:10.
A 2s diff is one thing but a 5s isn't. Some allien did help him and he could be faster, fine, ok!
But if we are going to race unbalanced and uncompetitive than what is the point of having Tiers anyway? Put me in Tier 1 so I can drive with all damages. Well, I know I won't be competite at Pro level for sure but I'm not at AM either with this Tier model anyway.
I just like to see a balanced and competitive race. Is that make any sense?
@STALLIONO, thanks to bringing this series man.
I believe we have a lot to learn from this race and this game and, even after facing some bad issues, it was fun to race with some of you guys.
Again, thanks to everyone.
