Guys,i found a race from 2009 where i can see that pretty all driver are cleaner and more patient than today...i saw also good driving even if there is no patient and good fights,fairplay.I miss those races...you understand what i'm saying
Another thing is, people are using TS less and less, especially in the Euro events. With TS, your able to say wherever your going for a move and other stuff.
Last thing that should be done more is, heavier penalties on the ones just being stupid. I remember the Indianapolis event two weeks ago, and on the first corner of lap one, someone dived up the inside, cutting the track in process, and sideswipped a BMW.
I have yet to see a report on him and others that just do utter silly things on the first lap (where most of the chaos happen).
Not sure I agree with this one. TS is meant for chat outside of the race itself, surely? Even if I used it, I would certainly disable it before the start of the race proper, because I don't want to hear people jabbering while I'm trying to concentrate.
Let's see:
- A lot of great guys left
- A lot of "doesn't care about anything" people came
And yeah, the game gets more and more boring every day. But there's no really better option for me.
I often feel like I don't want to do more races tbh. I sign up for some, hoping for fun, but it often ends with disappointment.
I think its more in people's heads how they act on track
I think it's the mentality half the time. Alot of the newer people think "It's Touring cars, they bash into each other all the time."
Yes, touring car racing has alot crashing, but there is many great fair racing seen in BTCC and WTCC. What some people don't realize, is that a hit, even a slow speed one, can take a car out if it's hit in the wrong spot. "Rubbing is Racing." Yes, running side-by-side with people you can trust is awsome, because, you trust them, not to take your line away by pushing you off, you know that, they will try to run with you and have as little contact as possible. By braking maybe a little more, not turning in as early and all that.
Alot of it, is having respect for people. New people, don't bother to learn how everyone races around them, or get to know them personally (rather easy if you race people while your on TS) so just try to race, through, their opponents.
When I first joined, and took part in my first few races, I saw who was just incredibly fast. So I knew to be careful around them, and to listen to any advice they gave me. This in turn, made me have very high levels of respect for them. And they in-turn started to respect me, because I never do anything silly while racing them, and that I'm getting faster due to their help and thanking them for it.
