I think people who are new to the league not only need to read but also Understand and pratice the rules...antecipating this could happen I've posted before the events this:
That said we all like to taste the sweetness of victory-or we won't be joining a Racing League- but we've all also learn that if we want to keep playing toghether we have to respect the other guy ,racing beside you and don't act like a troll just to get by...
All of us make mistakes-plenty of them from this end-and adrenaline sometimes clouds your mind into stupid-penis in League dialect-moves...but we have rules.Please read them carefully and above all act with common sense, not doing to a racing fellow something you wouldn't like it was done to you...if you cause a racing incident apologise to the other guy in the chat room after and during the race allow him to regain his place if thats the case.
No one seem to have listen anyone who is obseed with winning at all costs,or looking for ego boosts, doesn't belong here might as well play in public lobbys.
The guys who are here from the previous seasons are here for the fun of racing with each other...if the win comes in the end thats fine.
Please don't spoil this.👍

I wonder what happened there, I don't remember unfortunately. I didn't do anything wrong intentionally, even if You think it. When I accidentally touched Lefty in the 2nd race, I waited and let him go. His car jumped on the track all the time. I don't play from bed with controller, helicopter and space station view, abs... I play with G25 Playseat and in-car view-->(not easy to look around), manual and without abs... and I'm NOT a professional + I had some 🤬 slowdowns. I know this doesn't matter, but can You feel the difference? If I made a mistake, I'm SORRY for that. If I lose my position it's not a problem, I don't tremble because of the points. If You want, I will give you all. It's just a game for me:tup:

I occur those jumping things not just in Shift but also in Ferrari and SuperCar Challenges. And if you see something happening then there is only one way to avoid any contact! STAY AWAY !!!. Maintain the safe gap between you and the guy who is in front of you. There is no way to assume how far is that guy, and if there will be contact. Those jumps are made by bad INTERNET connection. It's pain in the ass i know that because always complicate clean race.
And as for pushing off the track, well then try to don't give a f **** about guys behind you, just pay attention to who ever is in front of you. We setup 10 and 15 laps not just to have long races, but to give fair opportunities to overtake. Give each other enough time to calculate where you are faster and where slower. It's not your problem when someone push YOU off the track, because he will give that position back. It's your problem when you have to do this. So if you are pay attention and maintain save distance that situation will never happen. Due to lack of skills and unexperienced driving in Clean way i think you need to rethink your racing way. In ring 3 laps is enough, In normal race track long for like 1:30 seconds 10 and 15 laps is more then enough to catch and overtake any one, but you have to be quick enough and really consistent in making fast laps one after another, that's how gaps between players are build. If you making average laps during the race it goes for nothing. Sometimes you will stuck behind some slow dude, but you will find overtake opportunity.

Ok this is how it looked from my view as I was behind you both.
Not long after passing the start line you and lefty was just going into turn 1 I no there was trouble there as I was going into turn 2 as you was on the exit of turn 3. Powering down the straight closing the gap on you, I hit my braking zone lefty's slowed down for the turn and your still flat out no brake lights and no intention of slowing down. And what happens your both in a heap next to the wall facing each other and as I pass you both.
Then to top things off I watch lefty's video and you drive off leaving him there as if nothing happened.
Hello, I know what Shark means with the in car view, because I aswell use it and it seems you have limited view but have to be sure the pass will be clean and be very carefull before you go full blooded and put your foot down to overtake, I am not aiming that at you Shark , just giviing an example, and I noticed some jumping cars in one of the races.

I understand what your saying there. In that same race lefty tryed it on the inside I just a bit on bonnet next to me and he put me in the wall. But looking at leftys video he's clearly past and looking in his mirror you you'll see that his then you also see me fly to the side after conract with an invisible car. I put this down to a bit of lag there's a difference between a bit of lag and going into the rear of someone at 180mph when you should be doing about 40mph.

Lag is terrible, it not only slows you down by being confused where the nearby car is but causes a stir after the race when it is not forced to be anyones fault.Is Leftys video on here mate?
Not yet it was on his youtube last night untill I pointed out it was week 2 not week 3 as he had put on the into think he's took it off to corect it as it's not there now.

Treky, I find that you are getting on my nerves. This League isn't a public service and I don't think anyone here owes you anything. Who we allow to race with us has more to do with whether we like that person or not. I don't care how fast or how slow you are, you are not entitiled to a spot in the League. The fact that arvore couldn't invite you on Saturday was unfortunate, and I know arvore, who is the most friendly and courteous person, would have been glad to fix the error had you not made the post about "someone not being able to read".
I find that people with short tempers in the forum often have short tempers on the track as well, so if you want to be a part of the League curb the attitude and stop telling people what to do.
yes.. you were 2nd.. behind me.. glue on my car
ALWAYS IN MY MIRROR 
in first right hairpin and above all in 2nd left hairpin you were very fast,
but fortunately in other corners i was enough fast to resist
VERY VERY GOOD RACE, if you don't DC i think it will be exciting till the last lap!!!
MannyMoenjack it was only a question not a request. Simple "no" would do the job I'm happy though for that you extend your answer.
I'm assure you that I am a nice person and not short temper. Just didn't understand why I was treated in this way. That was very rude in my opinion. But every thing is ok now. I quick forget and forgive.

You weren't treated in any negative way. I'm sure it was an accidental omission that you were not on arvore's Friends List, but then either through a thoughtless comment or possibly a misunderstanding things are said and suddenly everyone is angry.
This happens very easily in written communication with people of different nationalities. Jamie-C and I had a similar argument back in January. I misunderstood something he had posted and answered him rather sharply... and it all went downhill from there.
I don't think he quite hates me anymore do you Jamie? 
Joking!That's why we have got to be extra careful what we write or send to each other here, particularly until we have an understanding of each other's personality.

Hot head, desire to win, young age. Lewis Hamilton type ....
I was the same but i've learn. Focused on overtake and fast run away from the pack. That was 1st season for me. Luckily in 2nd Manny told me to go f* my self (hehehe) and i did learn my lesson 👍 Not always you have to be first.

FYI: END OF STRAIGHT AWAY NO BRAKE KESTERING
My video indicates that after SHARK blasted me he did pull over and weight. Now I don’t know if that was because he realized that he lost it mentally and felt guilty that he went flat out into me without stopping because of what happened in the first turn chicane trade off before the straight away ( video to be posted soon ) or if it was because the game blinds you and blurs your vision, but to his defense he did not take off until I left “ GROUND ZERO “ lol……..Lefty…………

Yep exciting from start to end(altought premature thanks to EA excellent servers
) you are a very fast and nice driver mate:tup: .Also ,I think, a fine example of what a chase should be patient,on my end, to try to find the right spot to overtake or cook up the pressure waiting for your mistake to happen and not forcing a stupid manouver(in the 2 or 3 corners that I was taking a little bit faster then you) that would have spoiled the race for both of us and from your end a clean defence of your lead without stupid blocking or "drunk" driving from one side to another.Good race.You are also a enjoyable guy,the kind of people we are glad to join us on the League.👍
You are not a simple figure. If You describe it twenty times, I don't remember. Do you understand? I DON'T REMEMBER! I will look at the video, don't worry!
Ok guys lets be cool( who am I to say this
) all of us have our temper,but one thing we always had in this league-most of the time with most people at least-is respect for our fellow members!This is a open league and we are glad that more people come and race with us.👍
But this is also a FRIENDS league ,meaning we will only race whom ever we want!
What we demand from the newbies is what we give to each other and to newcomers:
-Clean racing, meaning a gentleman attitude toward fellow racers,not cheating,not cutting corners don't pull anything it takes to win at all costs.
- A polite ,friendly, atittude towards League members in and off the track.
I think when you are new to a group of people a low profile(not in the track there you can be as fast as you can in the clean rules of racing) is advisable.
Being over demanding with posting of results or schedulles of the events ignoring that most of us have real life commitements that not always allow us to dedicate plenty of time to a hobby(as fun as it is),being arrogant and rude to former members of the league(or new ones by the way),or driving like a maniac,are attitudes that wont be welcomed!
One thing you can be sure we have a great group of guys here who like to race with each other,and like( in a very macho way of course
) each other...and that will be racing toghether for long in this and other games.We wont allow anyone to spoil that.
Also if you had read one of my previous posts I remembered everyone that video scrutinny was upon all of us,and when you make mistakes-that afect other racers- you will be criticized and have to live with that with fairplay-I remember how well Femky delt with a situation like this in the past,an example to follow-recognizing you error and sorting things out with the person in question.
The right thing to do is in the actual race when you hit someone trying to overtake dont advance the position or give it back immediatly ,after that way the hurted driver will be less angry with you(don't forget that with the very close lap times everyone is doing-which is great much more competitive close racing-shunting someone off the track compromises any chance of a good result) and probably things will end there in a friendly way.This will make you be much more carefull in the future because you will also compromise your race-i remember an issue I had with our friend the OUTLAW
at one Tokyo race in which a stupid-penis- move from my end ruined the race for both of us ).A final word about friends invitations:
I have the bad habbit(or good who knows) to only erase people on my friends list when I have a reason.I play a lot online,for a while, and keep people I add in the past ,playing other games with them, even if in the present moment we're not playing the same game-who knows if we don't hook back in other game in the future,if I add them it was because I enjoyed playing with them at some point.-so usualy I have my friend list full...and when I want to add someone new I have to go trough 100 names thinking who will I erase next
how long I have not played with that person, which games that person usualy plays, etc,etc.I even send an explanation and excuse pm to some of them telling why I'm doing that.Despite all that I've always managed,and I always will to make room to league members...I have Mohamu,Ris8,Lefty,Coey,Charpez,GTPmindwise-I don't think I'm forgeting anyone-in my friends list all newcomers,even if that sometimes that implies a phone call to one of my portuguese friends in real life explaining that I'm not going to play PES 2010 or FIFA online with them so there is no point in having them on my virtual friends list where I want to be able to have play pals added and I need the room,and I can assure you not all of them understand before I pay them a beer...
So sometimes it takes time...adding to that, for the ones who don't know, when you have your friends list full(something I figure that some of us will never have to deal with) you can't see others friend requests so you don't even know that somebody sent you an invite...if this is done during an online event which the other one is trying,and not being able, to host,rebboting reppeatedly his PS3,trying to explain to others what is hapenning in the chat room,managing to answer invitations from other players in other racing games explaining them why I can't join them that night requires a little
PATIENT
but after I quitted to join the event ,angry as I was, finnally had the chace to read(yes I can read) Treky's pms and erased a guy to add him latter,but then I came to the forum and...the rest you already Know.I don't have to deal with some guy Ego's trauma...
EDIT: AND I don't "quick forget and forgive" rudeness and insolence!
So in resume if you New Guys want to play with us fine but you have to stick to the group rules and habits,no one is forced to have it our way and we are not also forced to change them...
HURRAH IT'S A FREE WORLD
