I'm going to apologize in advance for the novel.
I'll start this off saying I'm an aggressive racer. Atleast in the minds of some people in the public GT6 lobbies. I'm not considered aggressive by the vast majority of people I have raced with in series here on GTP. I race clean. I don't cause accidents. And I don't attempt overtakes on suicide corners. I don't dive bomb. None of that. However I am not one to think there is only 2 places to pass on the Nurburgring, that being the back stretch, and the high speed mostly straight section a few corners before the karusell. If there is an opening, I take it. If I can get 3/4 overlap by the time the braking zone arrives and it's not a dangerous corner. You best believe I'm going to do it. I also switch cars. And don't use anything incredibly overpowered for the class of cars we are racing.
Today I joined a 500pp SS Nurburgring lobby, as usual. Saw a few familiar faces. And some not familiar faces. The host was a friend of mine on GT5 and earlier on in GT6. I enter the room and he immediately warns me to only overtake if I can do so cleanly. I state I am always clean, and it wont be a problem. So after a few victories with no incidents, the host brakes to late in turn one and causes me to spin out. And just keeps on a rolling In his newly acquired 1st place. The lap goes on I pass the rest of the field and reel him in, passing him on the back stretch (under my own power, no draft) and take the victory. After his cheeky comment when I entered, I expressed my frustration by means of saying "nice move in turn 1" he proceeds to tell me I hit the brakes to early. Which was just not the case, and I let him know, and just asked him to be more careful. He responds with I talk to much. I kindly let him know I hadn't said anything the whole time until he played dirty and just kept racing like nothing happened. Argument ends and we race on. I get a couple more victories. Next race i get my 3/4 overlap WAY before the braking zone, on the inside of a corner mind you. And some random guy just slowly leaves the racing line and pushes me off, all well before the braking zone, ruining my race. I make sure there wasn't a lobby glitch where he couldn't see me, and ask him to be more careful. I get a bunch of crap with him saying passes aren't always easy. I'm like "dude.. Blocking is one thing, straight pushing someone off track is another, I don't want to argue. Please just be careful and race clean" this guy's argument was just mindless. I couldn't believe the stupidity he was spewing. Anyway...
Next race starts and the hosts comes out of the first turn in the lead. After a couple more corners I end up behind him. On the straighter sections of the track I attempt to overtake him, again WAY before we even have to start worrying about braking. I get about 1/3 overlap and he starts moving over pushing me off track. I go half into the grass recover and settle behind him. This happens 3 more times in the same race. I don't even bring it up after the race. With the way things are going I figure what's the point.
Next race starts. Me and the host end up in 2nd and 3rd with him ahead of me. As we enter the high speed left/right known as the Michael Schumacher S. Or turns 9-10 (from the GP track picture) I get a full car or more overlap in the right side.. We enter the left hand portion of this quick turn with me on the outside, I give him 2 car widths minumum at the Apex of the turn. Now I'm on the inside, just a nose ahead of him. I do my best to give him room. And by that I mean I cut the corner so hard I barely had 2 wheels on the tarmac and I was almost half in the sand. The host aka bone head, turns in to much and bounces off my car and he runs way off in the Sand. I did more than what's considered acceptable to avoid contact, and this was clearly his fault. So I keep racing not very far behind 1st place. I the chat pops up my name with a question mark. At this point I know what's coming and I'm so frustrated at all this bull:censored: I say "sure I'll just ruin my race" I stop and explain exactly what I just wrote here. And this mindless idiot just keeps on thinking I rimmed him off the track. A few more words are exchanged, him blaming me, me defending myself and saying "you can't be serious!"
It ends with me getting kicked. Now you might ask why I just didn't leave the room way before it got to this point? My answer to that is everyone races on God awful RS tires. There is usually only 1 room with proper settings at any given time, IF that. So now, after mindless fool, with no racecraft, no spacial awareness, and no thought to take responsibility for his own mistakes, kicks me out of the room I'm stuck with no proper room to race in. Which is incredibly frustrating, and also my motivation to type all of this crap out for you fine gentleman, and ladies to read.
I sent him a message advising him to look up the meaning of racecraft, spacial awareness, and to grow up with a very fitting string of words at the end I can't say here. I also told him he would never be entering a room I hosted (again, usually only one room of proper settings everyone flocks too) until he apologized for his all around general stupidity.
The good thing about all of this? I improved from a 1:38.7xx to a 1:37.588 in the 550pp TT putting me in 28th place at the moment!
That was a lot of typing. I'm sorry guys. Just had to get it out haha.
