I think I've gotten to the bottom of my confusion regarding 'aggressiveness'. In the one race I was hit hard from behind as I started to turn for the exit of Degner, and I had to brake and turn hard to try avoid the people in front of me, and I sideswiped Vaxen while trying to avoid him. I received an apology via PSN for the hit. I've spoken to Vaxen about it as well.
I really must pipe up and vouch for Animera here. We've raced together a number of times and I've always found him clean and considerate, and is always careful in the first corners, in fact every corner. I see you've got it all sorted, but top marks to Animera for his racing ethics. 👍man,really....you are a quick driver but you have to have patience....sure touches here and there are fine(its racing ,not knitting carpets)but if you are so agressive in the first 4-5 corners of the first lap of the race,you are looking for trouble dude....dont get me wrong,i love a good fight on the track,but this should not be decided in the first few corners when there are lots of cars within a few meters of eachother searching for their position in a race....
man,you are obviously a fast driver(again...),so next time ease back a little in the first few corners,find your position and than try to overtake if you can....you will find it much more enjoyable,and the other racers too....
spyrrari.

I thought we would solve these problems via pm and not clutter these threads with onesided judgments? If you thereupon can't work things out together, informs us admins to solve the matter.
Now you accuse a driver of something that wasn't even his fault and encourage him to take things easier in the first few corners. I raced Animera yesterday and didn't catch him on reckless driving, nor have I in any previous encounters. On the other hand in one of my races I did get sideswiped by a certain yellow NSX at the beginning of a race before going into the first lefthander and didn't find anybody waiting for me when I had my nose pointing in the right direction again. So please look before you leap.
Regarding finding your positions in the first corners: It's here where the best racers can display their skills. There's no need to ease back if you follow the online racing rules. Watch your mirrors, give others some air and try to avoid contact. The track is wide enough not to drive in line.
Now back to racing
