My guess was maybe Swifty meant this race:

That's the
only race this week he didnt place high (or rather, didnt place 7th at least). I think he's having a good week. Maybe in one or two more races he can claim a victory
Yeap, that was the one bad one in the high SOF race.
I mean to sum this week up quickly:
1st race, write off, came 7th, I spun off the track when I was coming in 2nd overlapping a car and there was a misunderstanding between us. Have you ever walked down a road and you have a guy coming the same direction and you both go left, both go right etc, I did that with a car and I ended up on the grass. He was trying to let me pass but we both went the same direction twice.
2nd race, came 2nd I believe.
3rd race, the one above mentioned which I will go further in detail.
4th race, 2nd by less than a second.
After four races I achieved my goal this week to get +100 irating so I decided to finish there. I could have gone another race but finishing 2nd was good enough and I like finishing on a high!
by the way, again, grats on the win!
He also had 19 incidents. I have never seen someone have 19 incidents in such a short race that could all be blamed on someone else, so he was having his own problems this race as well, not just a couple contacts due to other drivers.
Like I said, I think Swifty is spoiling himself with time trials. They are great for competition and great for learning optimal racing lines, but I think they can also give you the false sense of security that the optimal line will always be available. This is why open practices are such a valuable tool, you can go learn racecraft with others on the track without worrying about your SR and iR.
Here AGAIN, you have proven that you just have no idea again...
1. Anyone who has raced at Road Atlanta will know that 1x on this track is very easy to get, especially if your pushing fast times. On that track, its actually quite easy to do 2x PER lap (of even 3x per lap if you count the last corner) if you cut corners here and there and not getting a slow down penalty, it actually works to benefit you. (I almost won a race by getting a 1x in a corner and increasing my exit speed).
2. You weren't there, how would you know?
3. Turn 1, I got a 4x from a guy coming off the grass and going into my side. Turn 2 I got another 4x from a rear end. Massively aggro drivers in a very tight space, had like 4 people going into a turn together. Insane from top drivers. I had to pit to fix my car and I was well behind
4. Trying to catch back up I did purposely get a few 1x to cut some corners (tactical) as I don't want to go past D Class anyway. Racing in the Skip, D Class gives you an advantage with free tow. I have no current intention to race in any other series.
5. In the higher SOF, I managed to get to 4th actually from a full lap down (I am car #14 remember). However, not learning from experience, I pushed too hard and I spun out. A stayed still of course, a few cars drove past however I knew a hit was coming up since I was parked on top of a hill after turn 1 (quite hard to see and to slow down coming into it) and someone hit me for another 4x, big contact or something.
Why do you keep bugging me about time trails? YOU DONT READ MY POSTS. I told you, because of work/life I can only do time trails as I can do them anytime as opposed to racing at certain times A and B. my god.....do you talk to people without listening to? Also, I am currently no.1 and I got a good feeling of winning the time trail championships. You haven't won any championship in iracing so you don't know how it feels to be in contention of it and to keep the others behind you.
This is a tactical move on my behalf.
