If you were a B-Spec driver what type would you be? Are you a cool headed racer who isn't particularly good at overtaking and tight pack situations but when you've got abit of a lead your lap times are consistently fast? Or are you the opposite, a hot headed racer who thrives in being challenged by other road users and can shake off anyone close but once far ahead becomes relaxed and almost cocky in their ability to win.

I myself am in the middle, more towards hot, I can do consistent fast times but i'm much faster when trailed by a crowd of opponents.
 
Aggressive offline.
They're AI, they can't call you a noob.
 
I would get angry real quick, and crash into other cars a lot. In other words, I'm aggressive.
 
Aggressive, offline that is.

Yep I'm the latter, I don't have a drop of Italian blood, but that's how I am to race.
 
Offline, I am a bit aggressive, but I don't intentionally punt cars or push them off the track. If I build of a bit of a lead I sometimes screw up. It's not a cockiness, but rather I am not really pushing myself to catch someone or defend my position so I tend to have lapses in my concentration. Suddenly all those things* going on around me that I was able to block out come rushing back in and whoops, missed my braking point and off the track I go.

*
accelerate out of corner, shift up, "hey, is that my phone ringing... oh, 🤬 corner!"

"I'm in the lead, nobody in my mirrors, what a nice sunset... reminds of that time I went camping and came upon a corner... corner?... CORNER! 🤬!"

"that's a strange sound, is the car damaged? No, is my wheel broken? No, PS3 fan breaking apart? No... oh, its just the dog eating my phone.
AHHH, drop it you 🤬! 🤬, 🤬, wheres the pause button!"

Not sure about cocky, but it's definitely more of this. Particularly in similarly powered cars. I remember the F1 seasonals, where I could spin out, fall behind, and make up more time in half a lap than I could possibly get ahead in two laps. Tend to make more mistakes when I'm in the lead too, like spinning out in the F1 seasonals, which somehow doesn't happen if I have to focus on catching up and drive very aggressively. Go figure. Well, I think it's all got to do with the fact that if I'm behind I'm forced to focus to make up time, and I tend to lose focus when in the lead. Just can't help it. :indiff:
 
I'm probably on the very aggressive side, online I do be so competitive that I stick like glue to my racing line, no matter how many datsuns stand in my way. But then after the race I feel guilty and apoligize to every single person I hit. This usually results in a kick. Kind in real life, an aggressive noob on track. Damn my desire to win!!!
 
Am I the only one that isn't particularly hot headed and aggressive? I am much better when I am on my own on track at the front and rather prone to driving into things when crammed into a pack. Just like peterjford though, I am often caught out by off-track hazards!

I am much much less likely to randomly dive into the pits on the last lap like bob, or mess up that same corner at Le Mans again and again...
 
Just a tiny bit of aggresive to be able to post nice lap times, but not wear out my tires fast, also when I see a difficult situation maybe slow down a bit and go to the other's pace....It's what I do in the seasonals too.
 
I'm middle of the road (no pun intended) but a little on the agressive side. I like to just stay behind a person (online) and ride thier tail (not making contact) and make them mess up. Works most of the time, they get all nervouse:nervous: and make thier rear end slip out in a corner :trouble:

:dunce:

I would consider myself as an aggressive racer, both online and offline, but I always drive fair and clean...
Just braking late :p
 
I'd be a cool headed driver who has consistent lap times.
 
In the dry- Cool headed. Smooth, easy on the tyres. Rarely the quickest in quali but always very close.

In the wet- Hot headed level 0 bob :(
 
when i'm bored racing the seasonals i try to push the leading car in the pit to change the rankings...or i try to make it hit a wall or go in the green so the runner up can take over
