Preach on!Logging in this morning to an SR B that I'm guessing came from Monday evening's loss of all cool and composure at Maggiore!
Yep I went ape after being slammed into one too many times and turned it into a roaming bomb much to my regret afterwards.
It's amazing how fast it drops though, I do think that's right in the end. Got what I deserved and it's not the way I want to race at all.
A lesson in avoiding evening races again, I'm not in the right headspace for it after a long shift, and it seems neither is anyone else by that time of day. I knew that!!
You know when you’re in line somewhere in public, say the airport waiting for customs, and people start cramming together and that person starts bumping into you from behind for no good reason? What’s the proper response? Turn to them and ask them to please take a step back. It doesn’t have to be rude, but it’s a natural reaction to people who are crowding.
We don’t get to do that in the race, and I think that’s what aggravates me and sets me off. I just want to tell the car that used me as their brake in T1 was f lap 1 to back off and wait their turn! The only way we have to communicate is to try to type a message during the race, which is irrelevant and only costs time, or to push back, which inevitably costs SR. Can’t even give the driver the finger out the window. So I think not having any recourse for idiots ruining races is what’s bugging me so much.
I just need to get back to driving and not worrying about DR. I ought to just let them by. But Maggiore is one of those tracks where once you let someone by, a whole train of cars go by, so I fight for every position too much. It’s a fun track, but invites the worst part of me to come out.
