Yeah, this last month has been miserable. Since the end of July, I've gone from DR A at 5% (which I knew I wouldn't keep) down to DR B at 66%. It well and truly sucks.

Oddly enough, that doesn't happen to me a lot, but I think it's because I spread my races out over the whole day, since I'm retired. When I
do do back-to-back races, then I do indeed see a lot of the same people (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on the racers).
That's not 100% true for me, but close. I'll say the top 5 or 6. But the no one bothering me is absolutely true, but the downside is that it's boring when that happens. But I could use some boring right about now.
Then stop looking at your DR and try to just have fun. (Yes, I realize the irony of my mentioning this since I wrote an app to track DR.)
I
hate when that happens! Seriously, it seems to happen to me way too often.
My hat's off to you - no such luck for me. Part of it is I take it personally when people pass me, and although I don't retaliate, I try way too hard to pass them back, and I only end up crashing and burning. Must... let... them... go! Adrenaline has ruined too many of my races.
I think every one of us (myself included) should watch the replay from our races before we comment negatively about other drivers. I'm positive that the vast majority of the time, I did something to initiate the contact, and in a lot of case, the entire incident was my fault for feeling entitled to my racing line, even when the other driver beat me to the corner.
PS: For me, the NSX sucks in the actual race B this week. It's not fast enough.
