Wow, so much anger over a game.
I know the corner and the move that has caused this debarcle, and I will tell it from my side.
N4HS and I were racing closely.. very closely with a few nudges from both drivers over previous laps, but thats racing.
My stance is if he gets the inside line on me, ie up to my B-pillar then the corner is his and I will back off the throttle a small amount to pull in behind and keep racing. I dont know the rules OS, but this is the basic rule for racing in Australia (specifically the supercars). The problem with GT5 is that you dont have such good peripheral vision and that leads to a lot of contacts where someone has managed to get up the inside.
.. So in this instance, N4HS ran wide enough for me to be able to take a tight line through that long sweeping right hand corner and get on the inside, its a valid move and the tuning of my car will allow the car to hold such a tight line in that corner.
Having said that If I had known there was contact I would have pulled over to let N4HS take my position, but honestly from my game there was no contact. I get the impression that if you are on edge of traction and get a nudge it has a worse effect on your car than say when you are in a straight line, and thats probably what has taken place here cause that corner you are right on the edge of your grip.
I said it before, and I will say it again, there was plenty of unintentional nudging from all drivers, and even within their own teams, it happens and it is acceptable because we all race with the same ethic of staying as clean as possible and that very point is why the racing here is so close and so enjoyable.
I would hate to see every race turn into a bitch match about who touched who etc, we dont see it in F1 / V8 Supercars and other forms of racing, unless its intentional or clearly a case of bad driving and I dont see anyone who has been a part of these garage races guilty of bad driving.
I had N4HS tag my rear end into the last corner during one race... but I know it was simply him trying hard, seeing a small gap and thats a racing incident, fine by me cause I know he was not intentionally thinking, "I can nudge his rear which will give me the position down the straight"... no one here thinks like that, me included.
So to N4HS, I apologise for the incident, but will maintain my stance from my cabin/my game/my view there was no contact hence no reason for me to think otherwise.
If you guys want a rematch for this last race, then I will accept it to keep the peace. Im a fair man so you guys decide and let me know, but if this series turns into demands for reviews and rematchs which turns us against each other, then I'm out.
I saw both my drivers leading at the end of lap2 only to be both taken out by an Audi R8.. thats unfair and should be reason for rematches, not because of bickering amongst ourselves.
Yes, we're going to have a 1-on-1 battle after all between J-PaP and NLxAROSA. I need to hear from both of you when is a good time. I'm free tonight to adjudicate.
