Driving Standards

I've titled this one - 'How to make friends and influence people at Turn 1.....'

Watch for the Proton Porsche #77 coming from the back and how he/she negotiates La Source without the need for any brakes! And of course having caused carnage in his/her wake, he/she drives serenely on..... (to retire later in the lap - surprise surprise!).

Not a hint of a lockup, a master late braker ;) :ROFLMAO:
 
Having had a look at the race log, the saving grace is that the guy she (I believe the offender may be female) primarily used as a brake in the other blue Porsche actually went on to win the race, despite having damaged suspension. Whereas I was tapped on the run down to Raidillon and spent about 8 minutes getting the car back to the pits and then another 2 minutes plus repairing damage. Still finished and got positive DR and SR out of it, by some miracle.

That was actually crazy. First i saw my car already going in the wall… i new it was too late to try to go right and i had really no clue about the space i have behind this car. I‘ll take a look also from outside cam.. i havent hear anything. I believe there was 0 touch but i really need to check that :D haha
 
This one is a cracker. As it happens, both I and @RhinomanWC were in this race. The miscreant in the Inter Europol car took Rhino out first (where the video starts) and later me at the exit of Les Combes. It's top drawer red mist 'I'm going to destroy you all' stuff...... ;)

I was ecstatic to be racing with you - all the way until turn 1! I tried to save you by sacrificing myself but our "killer" was intent on getting you.
 
Yep, both Rhinoman and I got to the finish, which is more than can be said for Mr. Goat who retired after ruining our (and several other) races.

The other thing that I find exceptionally annoying is when you have a guy who is obviously quite quick but hasn't got the foggiest idea about racecraft and getting a car to a decent finish, who drops it on L1, then comes up behind you flashing his bally lights as if he has some kind of divine right to make you move over for him. If I have fast guys behind me, I usually let them go, but not the puerile light-flashers. I held my line out of Les Combes and the twerp just tried to barge past, taking both of us off. We were both able to continue and he soon stretched out 20 seconds on me, only to drop it again later and finish well down, much to my amusement.... :)
 
But these are not car races. But is it fun in the end? In the sense that there are many discussions about driving aids and "pure" simulation, game "X" is a simulator, game "Y" is arcade, and things like that, but if these are races, what type could it ever be a simulation?
