I'll be honest I've sat on this comment for a day and it really bugged me when you said it.
Please don't mistake me be vocal that I'm good. I am not.
I work hard at improving, braking better, finding better acceleration points, learning from the ghosts and just being more aware of my inputs.
I'm not elite at all, quick sometimes but I've done 5,000 races just for GT7 alone. I'm not elite (speak to Barney or Metal or the guys on the TT thread or Tidgney....) so what I am is rational at comfortable with the game.
Being called elite undermines the support, help and my own rants about the game.
As I said that comment bugged me and 2 years ago I was begging and moaning about going faster and safer. And here we are, I listened.
Ignore my opinions that's fine, embrace them, that's fine. Ignore them that's fine, but for context they come from a guy that joined (again) as a CS driver and now I talk about how to shave thousands.
You will meet me, but you and only you can drive better, cleaner to get their.
You can do it, I did.
Edit: there is no elite juice or power up, just being better with the tools they give us all.
Don't lash out when the playing field is equal, just some play the game in front of them in a different way.
Hi there,
I am really sorry that I caused something here that I did not intend at all. Please note, that I wrote “more elite” and with this, I meant better, faster, more experienced than I. I did not say “elite” as an absolute, but as a relative, by using “more elite”.
(Also, english is not my native language, and there may be some connotation to the word elite, that I am not aware of - I don’t know.)
Again, I am sorry, and what I simply meant was:
Since you drive at a higher level than me, I don’t think I am likely any time soon to be in your way, but should it ever happen, as it is now, I just don’t seem to have the mental bandwidth to always, at all times, know the pitting status of all the faster drivers. It is off course duely noted, that it is something to be aware of.
I started racing in May this year, and DR fluctuates from upper C to mid B. Being fast, racing clean AND avoiding the hell that is super-optimist/aggressive I-caught-up-to-you-and-will-push-you-off-track-while-laughing drivers, is something that very often requires 103% of my attention. Over time, I will hopefully gain more routine that will allow me to free up some mental surplus.
Oh well - A lot of words. To be honest I just felt a need to defend myself a bit, as I felt the term “immature” was perhaps not the most fitting for me. At least not if “immature” is in the meaning of the mental state of the average 14 year old boy. It could off course also be in the meaning “a race driver who in his carreer has not reached a level of maturity.” Yup, I’ll take that - guilty of charge.☺️
I hope that cleared up what I meant.
