It absolutely does happen in real life racing. It takes race stewards to determine a fair outcome. And it still really sucks for the guys that are unfairly penalized by someone else taking them out.
Let it go. "Monkey" is a clear insult. Even "clown". With anything negative you're at risk. I suggest you use the chat only to say positive things. At best, after the race you can type "Really? Why did you do that"
The guy who started that whole thing was in the white #19 car, did NOT go off track, and went on to cross the line in P1. However, the stewards took that victory away from him due to the contact (and rightfully so)... whereas in GT7 he'd have likely still won. I think that was CMB's point.I see what you're trying to say, but the folks involved in that pile up, all ended in the grass. Where as, in GT, the instigator would get no penalty and also not go off track
A 7 day ban does seem a bit harsh but perhaps in German that is more insulting and controversial over generally using the term monkey in English.
This is the attitude to take.
For Gr4 the trick I find is early upshifting on corner exit to maximise drive on to the straights.
And indeed since the 1970s.
It's the other way about. We know some very nice German chaps who called their company "Black Monkey" and were somewhat aghast when we explained why we were quite surprised by it.
Yep. He needs to watch the clip again. I watched the race live and GT7 Sport mode was the first thing that came to my mind as I watched it all unfold. If I was Gresham Wagner, I think I would still be pissed 2 days later.The guy who started that whole thing was in the white #19 car, did NOT go off track, and went on to cross the line in P1.

I think you guys are saying the same thing just from different perspectives.
I’m not a Miata fan, but it’s definitely some of the best racing out there. The Race 1 finish was nuts too!
As a child of the 70s in Britain we were raised with a whole armada of racial slurs that we threw around without a thought. It's just the way it was back then. None are now used in polite society. I guess this one I'd forgotten about or just never used as a kid. My apologies to pretty much all nations and demographics that I probably slurred as a kid in the 70s/80s.
I don't drink, but I do find that my times almost always get better when I run enough laps to stop thinking consciously about what I'm doing.
It's funny you should mention this. Just the other day I found myself repeating something we used to say as kids, without even thinking about it. The person I said it to was shocked, and when I thought about it, I realized it was, indeed, racist. I'm not a racist at all, but it's amazing how words and phrases get embedded in our vocabulary. (I won't share the phrase here, but it's not overtly racist until you start thinking about it from that point of view. Then it totally is.)
Comments like this make me realize how much I don't know. "Lift a split second before braking." I think I normally do this, because to me, braking means taking my foot off the gas first (I think?), even though I drive using two feet. So are you saying that under normal circumstances, I should be braking at the same time I'm lifting off the gas? Or are there times when I should be braking and still keeping on the gas?
Try lifting, let the car settle then braking.
would you describe this as driving gr4 more like a road car? This sounds like my approach with road cars where I'll 'dab' the brakes and carry more momentum. I guess I've approached gr4 as beginner-gr3, but maybe I should think of them more as 'muscular' road cars?
That is probably why I suck at Gr.4 and have gone off racing them as I try to drive them like Gr.3 cars.
ok, I did not even think about that. I mean I have no idea what skin colour he had and it plays no role for me. In German it is indeed not that bad of an insult, maybe comparable to donkey in English? How rude is it to call someone a donkey?
It's a highly derogatory term, whilst donkey isn't nice either that just means you are an ass/lazy monkey has a much more racially rooted connotation.
