EXelero
let me just start by saying that i'm finding this race a real challenge and thats what i enjoy most about the wrs.
i aslo enjoy the competativeness and the thrill of maybe beating someone who beat you the week before. i've made lots of friends on this site. i've finally begun to feel respected as a driver (be it not a fast one!) and a GTP member.
its with alot of consideration that i've decided to air my unhappiness in this thread instead of personally to CFM.
i realise your busy Todd with the BC and stuff, but i feel crushed at your descision to move people up a division without verification of times.
this part is in capitals for a reason....
THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE DRIVERS WHO HAVE BEEN MOVED TO D2.
its more a battle for respect for those of us in D3.
i realise in the whole scale of things us D3'ers are ants in GTP compared to the fast cats in D1, but why should that mean we dont deserve to be treated by the same standards??
Casio has shown in posts that he is a fast driver, but if that is considered the same as proving it with a replay, why bother with divisions at all??
i dont think i'm the only driver in D3 who works hard every week to try and better my time, standings and skill every week in the wrs. but it seems that isnt needed anymore. instead, i'll pretend i've done well, constantly give a faster time and just know that sooner or later that will be all i need to finally get rid of the dreaded D3 in my sig and change it for a not so shameful D2.
how can we keep things fair if we're not all treated by the same expectants and rules? and Todd how can you possibly decide who gets treated by which rules?
casio does deserve to be in D2, but the rest of us D3'ers deserve to be treated by the same regulations too.
Casio, i consider to be a valued competitor and friend, and i'm hoping that because of that, he wont see this as anything personal. but if he shares the same respect for his fellow drivers, then he will adhere to the set out rules and prove he deserves to be in D2 with a replay.
thank you for reading. i dont want to start a turf war.
and Vexd, stop scrutinising my spelling mistakes.
No harsh feelings mate, I know what you mean.
I really do want to provide a replay, because yeah, I'm pretty much sick of everyone saying I just make times up and what not.
I was quite shocked when Ursa Major Prime, informed me that CFM had promoted me to D2, I seriously thought I was going to be in D3 forever. Which is no bad thing, I love D3, to me it's more then just a Division.
I really don't want people to think that I am fake-posting my way up divisions. What is the point of that anyway? There is no physical benifits you get out of it, you don't get a huge medal or large cheque from it.
Personally, I don't really care what Division I am in. If I'm in D2, that's ok. If I'm in D3 that's fine as well. When I'm sitting down, and racing, trying to shave off hundredths, I really don't think about what Division I am in. I don't have any shame in having a D3 tag, that's respective of how fast I am and where I qualified, I'd feel much more shame having a fraudulent D2 tag that I didn't earn.
If it's alright with CFM and Kent, I'd like to stay in D3 until I get a replay device together, I don't want to be an exception to the rule. That would set a precedence that anyone could make up any time and be sent to D2, which isn't fair on anyone who puts in great proportions of their time for this, only to be beaten by someone who posts a time the did not achieve.
Anyway, on a lighter note. It's great to see you back EX, we havn't spoken in a while.
I did some laps this morning. I love this race, it has been my favorite so far!
T1 - 14.312 (saw 14.1)
T2 - 43.003
I want to cut about 1.5 seconds off this week to get where I want. I think the key to this track for me is the left kink on the back straight, which I have taken flat out ONCE, and ended up in the wall many more times...
. Works like the GT from last week, otherwise RSS all around and you have the Viper
