People man..

First off, sorry for the rant.

I’ve been reading a lot of posts lately about the standards of driving in the beginner class lately. I must say that before today, I had never experienced such behavior in any of my races, but today that changed.

I’ve raced 3 races today, trying to get my SR up so that I can access the longer endurance races (I have an inexplicable love for endurance :D).

My first race was going okay, until I caught up to a BMW, who was fighting another driver. The BMW’s line through the last corner at Bahrain was suboptimal, so I made a switchback which brought me along side. He then decides to go full BMW mode on me and just starts turning into me on the straight. When this doesn’t work, he then takes a run up to try to put maneuver me, but I manage to save it and he crashes out instead. Nice one.

Next race, defending for P5 in a pack with quite a few cars. For reference, I’m in the mustang which is not the best car for medium speed rotation, so when I take my line at the speed I can through the sector 2 S, the McLaren behind just attempts to overtake my driving straight through my big back mustang. Another nice one.

Last race of the day for me I’m again defending, this time P4. I have a nice battle with a Ferrari which leads to another Ferrari catching us. I slightly out brake myself in the sector 2 hairpin, where the Ferrari I was originally battling overtakes me. The second Ferrari which caught us, then completely ignores me as I’m getting out of the corner, and just runs me off the road. Again, nice one.

I’m not going to post three separate videos proving that this happened, so I guess you’ll just have to take my word that these incidents weren’t my fault.

In general I’m really enjoying LMU, but these few races really ruined my mood for racing any more today.
