While I totally agree with the general sentiment, that second race the real issue there was the 22 car blocking like crazy, more than the fast car trying to regain position.

You're totally right, in my opinion, about not fighting too much against faster drivers. I sometimes spot their high iRating, or more often I notice how fast they are closing in on me, and I almost always take the decision to let them by. There are multiples advantages to do that, I think: - You can tuck in behind them and enjoy the slipstream - They will fight the cars ahead and you'll be able to catch up those guys - You'll learn from their driving, from up close - And of course, you totally avoid getting punted.

Great comments and insight. Feel this applies to all sim racing titles. See the same problems in our ACC leagues

Regardless of the racing level, there are too many drivers with a total lack of PATIENCE. I get it and have been stuck like that, but these chasing drivers need to have respect and pass when the time is appropriate. The drivers ahead should be paying attention too and move over if they see someone closing at higher rates like this, but the onus is on the passing driver from behind doing so safely while not forcing the leading driver off. I totally admire and appreciate your attention and wise choice to let him by with no contest. Well done there and thanks for highlighting a worthwhile issue.

I try not to be a push over on track but at some point it just makes no sense. I know my pace. If it's early in the race and the guy is one second faster around the track, than I have ever been, I just let him pass. Have been taken out doing this too though.

Excellent observations! So much of this behavior on track is ego driven.

Had exactly the same experience in the SCC this week. I was on P2 and got taken out by a high IR guy who came out of pits a lap down after needing repairs. He completely destroyed my race and he left the lobby after driving into me.

Yeah the total lack of care and apology really makes it even worse!

Agree with you 1000%. iRating is more a measure of how much free time you have than it is racing talent.

I have seen the “faster guys” complaining about the other drivers “parking it” in the middle of the corner. They assume everyone should have the same braking points, braking power and same corner speed, if is not the case they blame the other cars. It is a report worthy?

When that happens, and I hear a lot of people complaining in the voice chat, I just mute it, because it can become quite distracting. It's report worthy if it turns into bullying though (even more if it involves insults).

This is why my voice chat is muted more often than not!
