I don't think it's fair to state that those who arn't as fast as MAY at Gran Turismo are not qualified to give him advice, or point out the errors he has/hasn't made. There are an awful lot of people out there, who's job exist solely to comment on other peoples work, when most of the time they can't perform the acts any better themselves...Can Simon Cowell sing? Can Martin Brundle still go as fast as the current F1 drivers?
Its OK Ian its just makes me laugh the people giving him advice who could barely stay within 20 seconds of him in a race. Too many people who think they know better not just giving advice that's the point.I don't think it's fair to state that those who arn't as fast as MAY at Gran Turismo are not qualified to give him advice, or point out the errors he has/hasn't made.

There are endless examples...the best thing about a forum, is that qualified or not people can express their opinions.
It's not as black and white as people are making out, that's my only gripe. It's not a case of MAY was right or wrong, or that the black 370z driver was right or wrong. Some have said (myself included) that the black 370z did go in too deep for a first corner, but MAY as the better driver, could and should of compensated for this. If he left 1-2 car width's inside of him, I believe all the drivers would have made it through the first corners without any trouble.
I perceive myself as an above average road user and for this, I take it as my responsibility to look out for those who arn't as aware or obedient. If another road user switches lanes on a roundabout without indicating, I am not going to let him just turn into me and be part of an accident. If I enter a roundabout and the guy coming in from the first left turn, is going much too fast and although I have the right of way, I won't keep my speed up and crash into him. If someone is coming from straight ahead and not indicating right, I won't carry onto the roundabout, because I expect people to do stupid things.
You also need to appreciate, this competition has already ruled out that it doesn't want racing drivers to compete at the national finals. Essentially, everyone at the finals should be treated like any other moron on the British roads and if you perceive yourself as the best, you should not only have a plan b to any complications, you should have plan c that you can react to as quickly as any.
In the online racing league I race in, originally started by Villeneuve, we had someone complaining of difficulty when lapping backmarkers. He told the moaner, that as the faster, better driver it was his responsibility to make his way safely past the backmarker as generally, they are the slower, less experienced ones.
I will conceed, some situations on the road, GT or any form of racing accidents do happen and are unavoidable. But to me, this incident was as are the majority.
When the full GT5 comes out, no doubt we'll see all the familier faces back and get back to enjoying the game, rather than taking it all too seriously. 👍
...just got the minor complication of our final in a few days now
Yeah just came back from it, what a deception that was...
When I heard that they were gonna only going to run GT5 Prologue Time Trails, I knew I was doomed, haven't touched that game in a year.
(To be honest I did one lap of Daytona road and Fuji yesterday. But I thought I wouldn't do anymore because I dind't want to get accustomed to the different physics) 👎
And to make matters worse.... they we're only running the GTR!? Why have I been practicing with RWD Nissan's for the the last two months
To be honest I probably wasn't fast enough... but still pissed
👎
The weird thing was that yesterday we all received the rules and race format in a nice word document (no mention of type of tracks though). That stated we we're gonna race in the 370Z normal/tuned version on three tracks in a sort of group system in a 4 player LAN game.
Apparently they decided to completely change that last night or this morning to Prologue with the GTR and Time trails only....!?! 👎
Venue was not great, everybody had to stand the whole day (no seating arrangements).
Judging wasn't much of an issue, seeing that that the competition only consisted of time trails.... in other words lame
Oh and another thing was that unfortunately headphones weren't allowed.
(There was a lot of distraction with an announcers giving real time commentary just behind you)
