You're doing it again.

:rolleyes:

You certainly are. Did I mention you by name? Did I infer a Renault driver said such a thing? Again, persecution complex.

So ironic you choose to start another argument on the one occasion I am not talking about you... My patience is very thin.
 
No. You didn't hit send button.

Well now that I think of it, us ignoring each other would only take away the fun and humor of the FRL for me. The problem is, I am competitive by nature. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to become a super clean driver. At Brands, I was shocked by there being absolutely zero room to overtake. It was like we were racing at Monaco, as you were legally blocking me at every turn because there was just no room. And a couple times I briefly lost my patience and caused huge accidents.

What else would you expect. Brands isn't easy to pass on.

Well there is the problem and rule #1 of racing. Do not go for a pass at EVERY corner.

Which is no excuse, and if you happen to be penalized for this or any future incident, just don't get surprised by it...

On the first lap you have brake super early to avoid running into the car in front of you. Then you get those people to stick their nose in the smallest of gaps and the car behind runs into them because they had to back out of it and literally block the racing line.

If you have a faster car you can't brake where you want to, you have to take into account the cars ahead.

R2 I was being nice giving people room. Couple were not. I could have easily schooled @DK in the gravel but I didn't.

Why bother when everyone behind you is gonna jam it up the inside? That's the mentality I've gained from 6 seasons of racing. I got absolutely crushed in my first race because I gave everyone room.
 
Only Race 3 is where things got a tad too rough for me. Probably because I lost ground to my main rivals because StreetKing bounced off Cami who was rejoining which put me on the grass and I lost 4 places including Skeng and it took me 3 laps just to pass him alone :grumpy:

This is why I always try to pass round the outside on the first lap because the inside is literally packed. I remember Silverstone International where I passed 4 cars round the outside because they were all hugging the inside.

Agreed completely with the last sentence but, and don't get too annoyed by this, you should also practice what you preach...

I got tapped by you and sent against someone else in more than one occasion across races 2 & 3 because you failed to take into account that I couldn't brake as late or corner as quick as usual due to traffic...

Yup I'm aware of that. Think it happened about 3/4 times last night. Sometimes you get caught out because the car ahead has to drastically slow down to avoid a car in front mid corner and you run into the back of them. I do need to work on that but a bit of that is down to the track. Hopefully I can be better at avoiding other cars.

There was in the past way too much early lap aggression. I mean you can't win a race on lap 1 so...
 
Well Brands you have 2 spots to pass on, Druids and out of the last bend with a better run or cut back to get the inside for paddock. Besides that everything else is a dive bomb.

Graham Hill is difficult and Surtees is suicide.
