I think some people (mostly the european drivers, from what I've noticed) have that mentality that this is an F1 race, where the only way to pass is to divebomb a guy. Some people have even admitted to this in this thread.

Im European, what you mean? You got a problem bro? uh?! Wanna fight? LMAO

That. May be the problem with me.

 

[Müle]

I didn't say it was all of you guys.

 

[redreevos]

Very sorry about that I think you went a bit too deep 2nd to last corner then I must of clipped your rear bumper by accident sorry about that did it cost a place I'm sorry if it did?

I appreciate your apology. Thank you for that.

Too deep, no. I took those corners as I always do. It was more than a clip on my end.

Cost me a place, hard to say. Other things happened after this..Cost me some time yes.

I would appreciate, next time if you would let me back by after an incident like that... but as I said, I do thank you for the apology.

 

[OwensRacing]

Very glad I missed all that carnage you guys speak of.

Was on a 2 stop strategy and just stayed clean and consistent. Ended up with a third.

Happy day for me!

Looking at replay here shortly abd will post vid of said incidents.


Thanks for the negative posts. I try hard to be clean. Made one touch this year that resulted in damage. I got the swoop and swap move done and pulled my speed up like 8 mph before my brake point. Left me connecting a car. I think that's a total of 2 for me ever season 1 and 2 where I caused damage.

But yea nice of you to call us a bunch dirty drivers.

 

[Wardez]

I hope your not leaving because of my recklessness , Goodbye

Me 👍

May you live forever.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Wardez we will miss you if you leave your a great guy and allways brighten up the room with your funnyness (if thats a word) esp watching the stream on the lotus 111rs on le sarthe where you were writing in your chat box but not posting them

 

[OwensRacing]

May you live forever.

I hope you reconsider. I really think your a large pilar of WSGTC and truly we will miss you. I for one will. If you want to step back and just focus on races. That be better then leaving.

I ask you to please reconsider.

+1 👍 owens speaks for us all there i rekon 👍

Sorry to say this guys, but I'm quitting the series. This isn't a decision made on impulse. I just realized over the past few days that I can't dedicate so much, for so little in return.

This wasn't made on impulse because I was going to use this race as a decision maker as to whether I should stay or not, and I'm not. It's just not worth it.

Sorry again guys, I'll see you around. And if you'd like for me to go in detail, feel free to PM me.

It may sound selfish, but WSGTC needs you. Please reconsider.

It would seem that way, but then I guess if the guy in front of you is faster, you can't really just pass him fair and square, so people resort to dive bombing.

At which point I partly have to blame the OP rules list, where it basically says dive-bombing is cool because so long as the "passing" driver gets in front or side-by-side at any point he has right of way, with nothing mentioning entering at a reckless speed which leaves the 'passed" driver literally nowhere to go.

Good to hear you did well, I know you were behind me for a bit, but between all the crashes I was trying to dodge, getting hit or dive-bombed, etc, I lost track of where you ended up in all the smoke.

Edit: I also hope Wardez will reconsider, I just don't have anything to say at all to compel anyone to stay. If you takes a series seriously (which I know is why I signed up) you end up spending lots of hours each week, and when all your work regularly gets beaten to useless by careless driving of others, I don't see why anyone would continue.

Two week break, maybe it will somehow help.

Respecting a faster guy goes a long way.

I for one let a few guys by. They waited got a straight. Seemed the best spot was up hill into two. I'd just stay right/wide and coast till faster car made it by. Then draft them till they shook me. hahaha

I got taken out here twice in another league. Both times I was a lot faster. Had clean runs only to be pushed into the wall at turn two. Grrr seriously respect. Just know your roll if you will.

 

[redreevos]

+1 that Wardez makes this a better series. I can't imagine any one can put up an argument opposed to this.

Wardez, I totally understand if you can't spare enough time for this series. If you decide to stay, a lot of us will be happy.. If you don't, I will catch you in another series (hopefully).. Regardless, I am buying you a beer while I am out in Vegas next month

You know, there's a great series that Wardez is in, that I run. The link's in my siggy

lol. I know this series well... Unfortunately I don't have the time to run more than one series right now. Miata series, maybe?

 

[Masi_23]

@ CSL - Let the penalty system do it's job - it's there for a reason. If the violations are severe enough, a probation or a suspension will be handed out. I have my eyes on a couple of drivers for some time now - most of the stewards are aware of it, too.

I can't really judge the race since i wasn't there. I'll wait for what the others will say.

Also, I can't blame you for reaching your boiling point, but it'll be much appreciated if you keep the venting on a less feverish/angry? state (for lack of a better term - can't get my mind to it) - keep it at a minimum when you post inside the thread. Use the PM system to vent all your anger at the ones you think are responsible/involved and then file a report for the stewards to assess.

@ Wardez - I guess the recent strings of internet problems (DC's) and bad races has gotten to you. I suggest you sleep on it. About the comment on 'getting almost nothing in return' - well, we're all here to have fun and the comradery that i get from all the drivers (well, at least a few from the regulars) is enough for me to keep coming back (even if i keep missing races and DC'ing). You win some, you lose some. Nonetheless, if it does mean more to ya, and if you do withdraw, then it's too bad. I guess ill catch you on some other series 👍

Sleep on it everyone at the end of the day, it's still just a game. There's always a next time

 

[Otsdarva]

There's always the Fun Racers Club. We don't take points and we just run for fun with cars from the recommended list. We surprisingly used to have some real tough competition in the club.

@Masi: Couldn't have said it better 👍

 

[Masi_23]

Any provisional results out there? Curious as to how people finished.

Congrats on your Podium Mr. Owens!


On another note! Check this out peeps: free ice cream for everyone!

Ice cream masi?? false advertising you will pay (im already a part of that )

Holy (bleep) that's the series I signed up for before!
Sorry about that Mule, completely forgot about it for a bit and then couldn't find it when I did remember, very sorry to be one of those pricks that signs up and disappears.

You make some good points, and I'll concede that maybe the remarks were out of line, but it's something that gets old, fast.
Also TBH, there was so much bad going on around me I'm not sure who some of the people were, it was a blur of 4 laps of constant dodging and crashes.
Good points aside, sorry to say, I have no just reason to have faith in the current penalty system, because it keeps happening, and the "track" seems to get a good portion of the blame often, and the truth is people are just constantly pushing at paces they have no hope of maintaining, with no regard for anyone but themselves. (who they ironically screw also)

So there's really not much for me to PM, just unfortunately so far this series is nothing I thought it was going to be.

 

[Müle]

GT300 order was this, I think.

Aderrrm
Moieman
Atlas
Ravellon
Scanny
Paul
Mule
Pinoy
MH4wheel (DC'd lap 51)
Litchi (was stuck in pits about halfway through the race)
twisted (DC'd lap 2)

I could be wrong on some of those.

Was that a glitch or he just left it on pause?

What an outrageous accusation... click THIS again and see what comes up. Ice cream of all flavors, in't it? That goes for everyone as well

 

[paulmac2k9]

mule your correct

Edit: Masi i rekon he paused as he was very close to me then just slowed down i rekon something came up and he just forgot maybe....

Don't worry about it man.

I have no clue. Likely a glitch.

 

[redreevos]

Watching the replay.. on lap 30 now. The stewards are really going to have there work cut out for this one. From watching the last several laps, I can understand why Wardez wouldn't want to race anymore. I have a lot of comments I would like to make about what was occurring, but I will hold my tongue. I will, however say, I am very surprised by the poor racing by multiple people in this race.

And just to clarify, I am in no way talking about you Chorda... Think you just got caught up in a mess that was occurring in front of you.

Would it be possible to upload the replay for me when you're done? I'd like to take a look at this myself.

This goes for anyone in the NTSC region, really.

Yes, had I thought of it I would have re-entered towards the end (or left it there) to save it myself.
