aarrrrggg no brake at first chicane
Race 1: I came upon a ****ing mess at the second chicane (after being on the receiving end of bullshit already), decided to take across the tarmac inside the chicane, and rejoined just slightly carelessly, leaving not enough room for two cars and causing a mess behind me. Quite how you get two cars coming out of that corner fighting rather than line astern, god knows. Anyway, I DNFd myself straight after, due to a mix of shame and just bewilderment at what I was seeing.
Race 2: Unfortunately I was gridded up front. I'm multiple seconds a lap slower than everyone here so that was never going to be great. Initial braking into the first corner was OK, people respecting cold brakes and my slowness. But then I assume someone further back went idiot mode again and hit someone who hit someone who then hit me. Great stuff.
Lap 17 at the Lesmos saw someone trying to pass at a non-passing spot and hit me. Went off, lost more time. Didn't stop for new tyres, finished 8th. WTF? All those non-finishers. No idea what is going on there. Must assume the craziness that continued all through race 1 happened again in Race 2.
Just appalling driving. Seen better in DriveClub online lobbies. Either people had not practiced at all, or they were trying to suddenly drive someone else's setup, or they are simply clueless in terms of racecraft.
And to top it off, on replay/monitor mode, during race 1, I was seeing some terrible lag on many people. Either slow pings from people, or a poor server. Unless it was something at my end (which I doubt), that may have made people's efforts ten times worse.
I will try the next race, but not beyond that unless I see a reason to believe that people know how to drive properly.
I am a big man, and I can take a telling off. I absolutely understand, appreciate, and respect that you find my tone and language unacceptable in YOUR league, regardless of whether I have a point or not. You make the rules, you decide how your league runs. I apologise.maybe it be best if you dont try next race, your clearly too volatile for this league, it was the first race of a new season with many new drivers struggling for setups and all you could do was critisise and swear here and on the server, im sorry but who are you to call others idiots when youve just explained you caused a mess too, please dont bother turning up next race unless your attitude seriously improves, we are all here to learn but i wont sit back and watch you call people idiots and talk the way you have. maybe some drivers need to learn some more but you need to learn how to control your temper firstly.
My incidentes:
race1:
first lap second chicane: I had a contact with Sami Pesari. 100% my bad, but I cant aboid it...
few laps later at the same chicane contact with Francisco Valle, this time im not sure that is or not my fault.
Race2
Race start: litle contact with Valerio Vinassa without consecuences i think...
Second incident with Tom Lamberts in Lesmo
when i returned to track: the big one with Francisco Valle
no problem... race incident...Really sorry about that incident in the lesmo. I was looking tyre wear i think, and next thing i knew i collided with you. I didn't know wether you were just slwo exiting, lost it on the exit, or whatever. And i was already frustrated with some other avoidable incidents that happened earlier. So i didn't let you back past? I should have.
Third - Side-by-side through Parabolica with @Vlad Dogar getting a little dramatic! Bit of a nasty surprise
All good! Significant enough to mention, but I'm not out for blood for it or anything.Sorry about that one, it was because I went too much on the kerb and the car oversteered. You use to leave space on the inside just to be sure (even if not necessary), and that is tempting sometimes.
I forgot about it, that`s why I didn`t mention it. But if it is considered punishable, I`ll accept it.
