Fed up with good, clean drivers!

I just wanted to post this as it's from a different perspective.
Over the last few days I've had the best racing against some of the top EU guys.
I've been really lucky in the Golf and pulled something out of somewhere.

Now, I thought I was clean and certainly try to be but a certain gtp member was in front (most of the time) and bearing in mind I was trying extra hard to be clean, I still nerfed him a few times on Alsace.
Maybe it was differing lines or slipstream effect (all nudges were on the chicane before the uphill drag) but in retrospect I think it's just me trying too hard. I always let him by and yielded of course.
My only real defense is inexperience. I was driving well beyond my level and on the limit everywhere but the difference in consistency was stark.

When you get in the groove, make the most of it. I've no doubt I'll be back where I belong in dr.B before long when I have to struggle with less favourable combos, but whilst in here with the occasional alien, I'll try to learn what I can.

Fwiw, I saw the difference even in B, over 20k driver rating the overall cleanliness is apparent.

I don't see the part where you're fed up

Just push, push, and push! Cleanly
At first you'll really feel the pressure of drivinf way beyond your level, but eventually it'll ease into and before you know it you're the very driver you were once "fed up" with. Today's one make is a very forgiving one; make the most of it

Tongue in cheek with all the negative threads running! @Alpha Cipher

I know it is, but I'm terrible at big willow and with all the things I've pushed to 'tomorrow' the last few days, I'm taking a break.
It's very entertaining watching big-stef and prost going at it hammer and tongs but still pulling away from you!

Yeah all these races I'm entering lately where nobody spins me or rams me in Turn 1. I thought we were bowling, not racing bumper to bumper cleanly, what gives?

I thought the same thing when I started getting matched with the FAST drivers. It gets easier to keep pace and not make contact. It really is all in your head. I kept thinking I was out of my league. I still can't hang with the "aliens". I can hang with some S drivers now though. It starts coming to you after a couple of days. You settle in and realize, you can run with this group.

Clean is the fastest way around the track. No question.
