Let me set the record straight here guys, because the reality of the situation is just in the clouds at this point. This is fact:
EERS is a great driver, one of the best in the country. He's also not a dirty driver; in fact he is one of the cleanest racers I have raced with. My level of clean racing I hold in my lobby is defined by guys like him, Ghoast, GTP_TimeAttack, all of which I have gotten to become quite good friends with in the past year. EERS and these guys are far cleaner than most I have come across. In now about a year of spec racing, and hundred of hours racing door to door with EERS, I have never had a negative racing incident with him. He's one of those guys that when he joins the lobby, I'm stoked because he is brilliantly fast and know hows to race CLEAN. I am not calling anyone out; you can all believe whatever you want to believe, but the fact that people are trying demonize EERS to me is satirically funny. It's just wrong; reality here has been twisted. If you think EERS is a dirty racer, you perception of reality is not correct. All that video shows is someone getting REALLY pissed off because they kept being hit from behind/side in corners. The hitting in the corners is left out of the video. If you disagree it is because you do not understand the situation. And if you haven't been in the situation, it is probably very tough for you to understand. I am asking you to TRY and understand. The bump drafting portion really has nothing to do with it. More to come on this below:
Wardez: I think you're a good dude man, so please read everything I say in an even keel manner. You mentioned the contact that I wasn't ready for at the ARR race. This is is the exact contact that I am referring to as one example, not just by brosif, but in the many other races that involved other drivers in my own lobby, many of which do not even include me. I've even bitched at Choate about it.
And like you said, it is two different schools of thought on what racing in GT5 should be. To all:
I think it should be like iracing and real life. That means you don't get in to the back or side of people in corners, end of story: your TOP PRIORITY is to NOT MAKE CONTACT Some people think because it's a simulator, a little bit of contact is acceptable. I feel that it's not acceptable, and ruins the racing. Tapping people in corners is the worst; it gets people out of shape and is a lazy way to pass someone. People are saying the contact wasn't intentional: and I BELIEVE it wasn't intentional, more often that not it is an honest mistake, but that doesn't make it OK to do it REPEATEDLY. People need to realize when they overstep their boundaries and limits and hit people in a corner. It's not OK. It should be the highest priority of the following driver to not hit the driver he is pursuing. And some people simply don't feel that way. They feel they can drive their line 100% and if they "happen" to hit the person they are following, that it's ok. Usually it is only slight contact, but again, it's enough to screw someone up and lets the follower get an advantage. It's just not right, it's just not fun, and I don't allow that type of racing in my lobby, because it's not how I race in real life and I find it to be very disrespectful in a simulator. It's just not fun.
There is really no need to respond to my post gentlemen, just read it and think about it logically. I don't have the time to discuss it anymore. I think you guys are generally a good bunch and I enjoy racing with you guys. I just feel the need to post when something just ain't right, cuz guys, what's going on here, it just ain't right.
I encourage everyone to watch this video. Take away from it whatever you wish:
