Yeah, I tend to overreact to dirty drivers messing up my races, but it's not the end of the world. There should be a "Red Flag" for those who break the rules and ram into others or do nasty things out there. They should get a 5-second penalty. The best thing to ever do is to stay near the middle of the pack and then on the last two laps, try to get close to the front.
What? Why would you want to stay in the middle of the pack and only attack in the last 2 laps? By the time the last 2 laps come around the leaders are, most of the time, far away because beeing stuck in traffic costs a lot of time. You suddenly drive a couple of seconds faster then the rest of the drivers in the last laps or am I missing something? š¤
That happened pretty late but, are you ghosted to each other if you are both a lap down? It seemed like not.
When it happens to me, itās usually related to the time of day when they have a harder time accurately matching rooms, fewer participants to fill rooms.
What's your SR rating?
Just to update the above scenario, not as a complaint, but because itās so weird. I rewatched it from his car.
I had similar experiences when my DR rating was a bit over 50% A. Therefore I tanked it a bit (which was easy, just participating in these "too quick" lobbies did the trick). But it doesn't feel good to get humiliated by the real quick (and impatient) drivers, so I switched to racing almost exclusively on my other accounts, B/S. The ambition to prove myself that I maybe (maybe!!) belong in slightly higher lobbies has gone.
Haven't done the races this week but in the Evo TT I got so comfortable with T1, T3 and T9 that track limit pens were very frustrating but rare and that was when they were set to strict. And this was following Hencesi's ghost keeping close enough for a top 250 time.Anyone else think the penalties at RBR have been toned down quite a bit? They seem much more reasonable now; specifically at T1 and T9. No more is it "WTH!!?" and more like "Yea, I probably deserved that."
Give it a go this week and let me/us know.
Yes, I've noticed that there don't seem to be any contact penalties at Race C this week - been rammed off at the hairpin and the final chicane a few times this week, not one penalty seen for the rammers!
This I think is the problem, nobody's fault or reasoning but I think more tolerance to contact plays in to it.
That was me getting punted and he was actually waiting and targeting but thatās a real outliers, Iāve never seen anything like that before but itās very easy to legislate against.
Yeah, I got a couple of penalties for pushing someone off the course after I was rammed into them by someone else. Naturally the original rammer escaped with no penalty.
It seems like PD raised the bar for Grand Valley, I barely hit the wall and got a 1.5 second penalty. Also, in Race 12, I barely hit a driver in an RCZ car and even got a 2-second penalty. That's ridiculous. It sucks that the opponent doesn't get a penalty too. Even when they hit me, I don't see a penalty banner thing above their car. So unfair.
