I have tried cleaning up my act as best as I can.

You're not trying hard enough if you're intentionally forcing people who try to pass you into the grass like you did to Scanny and myself.

Geez, I nearly had a heart attack lap 1 R1 final turn when Nel appeared from nowhere flying across the track to land just beside me!

Must be his webbed feet, silly inbreds :P
 
I had no idea that all of this would blow up so much. I made a mistake. I thought I could out-brake orama, it seemed like I was alongside him just when we reached the kink, I tried to rectify this by slowing down immediately afterwards and letting orama (and anyone else that was hit by me) past.

DK. We are NOT talking about that. We are talking about Races 1,2, and 3. And apparently your lack of awareness. 4WD does NOT mean you can brake 150m later than the next car, does not mean you can just drill someone's door.

It wasn't just that though, on several occasions you ploughed into the back of me after out braking yourself, which I thankfully survived.

When, at the hairpin after the line for sector 1? If so, I am sorry. It was NOT intentional, no matter what you believe. I couldn't see you beside me.

I was NOT braking 150m later than the next car.

First of all, in R1, the game glitched out on me. Instead of a speedometer and tachometer, I had the pause menu and "17 seconds until race start" on my screen. I had to exit GT5 to get the game working again.

Secondly, how do you expect me to have perfect 360-degree vision? The mini-map was no help to me, sometimes when it said someone was right behind me it seemed like they were at least a couple of car lengths away, and sometimes they were riding my rear bumper or getting their nose right alongside me.

Firstly. You always seem glitched.

Secondly. Never said perfect vision, but we all have same camera's and controls you have, driver awareness it's called, which you are sorely lacking.

We are talking about when you pushed people out of the track by BLOCKING THEM in the short straight after turn 4. I saw you doing it with Cnd in R3, and it seems like you done it before on Races 1 and 2.
 
Gotta say I haven't really had a problem with DK. He is not as bad as some of the rogue drivers that seem to get away with twice as much as he does. Bit unfair on him if you ask me.

+1 👍

Most of the time you are clean, but over this season it would seem TOCA has been sucking away your race craft and awareness. Maybe take a break from TOCA, enter some really clean series where you're not encouraged to drive a little aggressively :)

DK is fine in WSC, he even won last week at HSR in GT. Perhaps you need more time away from the touring car world.
 
Exactly, my racecraft is fine in WSC. It was fine in PURE's R32 Challenge. Perhaps I'm more suited to longer-duration events.

I really would like to take part in T8CA, but perhaps the short length of touring car races pressurises me into making overtakes as quickly as possible. I never really dwell on my actions for too long any way.

Cnd was fine when around me also but I obviously didn't see everything of him.

After all the effort I put in getting home to race (drove 11 hours straight through from Munich covering the last 200 miles from the tunnel in 2.5 hours :scared: ) I was more than a little hacked off with my performance!

Really thought I could do something tonight, I go well on the ring GP layouts, low 35's were comfortable for me in practice with low 36's towards the end of race distances. Car just felt real twitchy and tyres fell off the cliff (braking was impossibly difficult) made a few tweaks in between races but only managed to make it worse :-(

Realised later on that I'd put completely the wrong setup on! That'll teach me for rushing!

Made a few errors under braking that I wasn't proud of on a couple of people but fortunately was able to get away with not sending anyone off track, I was simply struggling with the car :banghead:
 
I think touring car series will always be a little more aggressive.

Stop complaining, start investigating. :P

Furi's not the cleanest of the clean drivers, himself, sometimes. Just ask Carb. :lol:

It's 1am mate... and Carb isn't mad with me about that...
 
So can I like I did in suddenly over serious Rolex.. (You missed it though)

Well, when I saw you in R2, you forced me wide twice when I was running on the outside of you, thankfully there was tarmac run off, and then later on you ploughed through the barriers at the chicane. I haven't seen the replays so don't know how you were driving the rest of the time, but if you were doing that around a few other people too I can see why you would get a penalty. :(

The only reason I wasn't more careful was the tarmac. I saw everyone using extra room, so I thought I could go ahead and take a normal line off.

Have you got it zoomed in? It's immensely helpful. 👍
 
Standings include the penalties for CnD and DK.

T8CA PM's for the top 12 this season will go out soon as I can get them organised. All time stats are now being updated to reflect second half of the season.
