SR4L Fun Event #70's Glen Rnd 2

.60 rear toe?? You won't have rear tires left at the end of the straight? lol

I beg to differ about race 3 startcrash, I really do think you should take it more easy...

Again sorry to Wim about the little tap in race 3. :-[

With that rear toe (0.60) my rear tires remained green until pitstop ant it really helped getting them under control when throttle was on.

About race 3 start I think there was enough gap there at the left of Bryan. We kissed our sides just enough for my car to yaw to the right and head in that direction kicking bryan's car and making the 7 and 10 pin drop, bowling mastermove.

(The more I check the replay the more I'm sure I'd go for that gap again)

It went wrong, could see it coming from miles, you took 3 cars out and almost me too and you would do it again??

Long life words misrepresentation
What I would do again is look for the left gap. There was enough gap for a car and the other cars were slower after touching each other.
Bryan was slightly separating to the left at the very moment I was getting through there and we touched, that caused my car to yaw to the left and the rest happened. If you could see it coming from miles I'll ask you then what will happen before every reversed race.

Looks like I could have given some more room at the start, although being in front I don't have to. The chain reaction effect of me tapping the guy in front, Wim getting a great start and than hitting me because I slowed, my car going possibly to far to the right, G and hit than the skittles start to fall. In real life it would be an incredibly brave move to head for the grass and go around someone but that's what a sim game can never simulate, fear.
I think in general we do really well as a group, it is racing after all and sometimes lady luck is on your side and sometimes she can be a right cow

Sorry for my last sentence, that was a bit rude to say at the heat of the arguement. :-[

True and being a nice group should also enable us to discuss these incidents in a sportive manner, nothing wrong with that.

Np, sorry for taking your words too literally.

I hate coming across like a saint because I'm not (doh), it's just that I see it happen so often in race 3 starts. Drivers diving in every gap they see, while knowing the driver in front, with all due respect, is less competetive, then sometimes even taking the risk of going three wide in or out of a corner. The risk taken then is maybe twice as big and that is what I always keep in mind. The minute I saw you with two wheels on the grass and persisting that move, yes, I could see the result coming whether you like it or not. Please be careful... I know I will next time I'm putting the heat on anyone. (Wim)

As I was still wondering how I could have lost second position after my pitstop in race2 (no mistakes in coming lap and fast pit crew), I checked the replay.
Somebody forgot the pitlane rules and took final curve as a normal lap when entering pits. That meant valid seconds that made me lost that position. :-\

I won't make an official complain as that wasn't a league race.
