[quote]on lap 8 got caught and dive-bombed by a faster

I wish I had a replay to review that. It is canon here- if you
are faster, WHO CARES- you have to pass when it is safe and
often times even a faster driver can't pass because they may be
faster in the wrong parts of the circuit and can't pass safely.
VSCR does not allow that sort of thing. Here speed is secondary
to racing clean at all times.
If you are faster, you had better pass clean or you had better
learn to follow a slower car.

It is a shame but a common problem, because I'm an old guy I
tend not to be very fast and often am at the back, although I
can actually 'race'. There are lots of fast drivers out there,
but not so many that know how to race. A lot of them wouldn't
even understand that last sentence ;)
It is also a shame because when someone does a good clean
overtake manoever on me I actually admire it! and enjoy it as a
positive experience. :D
To be fair, the driver involved did wait until I returned to the
track and got underway before pulling in behind me and getting
going himself, and I appreciated that, but it was just a clumsy
move. Hehe, it took me some time before I realised how important
patience is in racing, lol, sounds stupid doesn't it.

I don't remember being involved in such incident (only bumps
with Chad and Guy). I answered because in theory it could be me
because I raced in the back also and were quicker than some in
there. Anyway, I don't think any of us are such a racer that
would dive bomb other than by accident. I haven't noticed such a
carachteristic behaviour. And that's a good think. Contacts
often happen when neither want's to give up in a tight fight,
but I would assume contacts because of stupid mistakes are among
us.

Some of us haven't been in a race in a couple months and we may
be rusty. If he stopped and waited, he acknowledged his mistake
and made up for it.
Yeah I was following Chad who was following Tig, then he got too
much of that curb on the right entering the chicane and Chad got
through. I thought Tig had lost it and I dove left to avoid but
it turns our Tig didn't lose it completely and I made contact on
the way by. I'd like to see that replay, it all happened so
fast.
What impressed me most was 5 of us running nose to tail at the
beginning of the race and it lasted a long time. I love that
stuff!

@Not_him
It was probably me contacted you. But it is not done surely by
obvious. I got the insight and hold the line tight to complete
passing but I had to go wide ( of course either car on the
different line ) so we crossed somewhere at the turn. Your car
was not seeming in my sight of view ( that is the biggest
disadvantage of simracing, not to see the sides what is going on
). Sorry for that contact. I am ok with any penalty If it is not
race contact. Sorry again disturbing you.
