GT Sport Season 2 Division 1

Div4 is where its at

I believe it too.

Great racing, and great driving, with the right amount of respect' and room for that game. Few track violations though

But this isn't GT6, it is GTS, and the cars unbalance far easier, especially on contact. Our respect levels for one another on track at present are crap, me included lately.
Also on comparison to GT6 controllers are faster in GTS, so there are many controller drivers in Div1 which creates different brake points, and often driving lines due to turning ability. Also as with GT6 there are different effects for wheel drivers and controller drivers beyond force feedback when contact is made.
Also, Qualification is 20% of race night and is not respected via a bull at gate attitude to every 1st corner in every race, and 2nd, and then 3rd if the track lends itself to tight racing.
So I reckon, Respect Qualification, Respect Eachother, and race with, as well as against eachother

P.S. I read Beau crashed without human intervention,

Whilst I agree with most points there, my main point is that clean racing is always possible when all parties use their brain. It doesn’t matter what game it is.
Here’s another example, me and @KeedenMcdonald have a truly motherload of a battle on F1 which was clean because the respect was there. Shame the season died on its arse.

I must be... but if you want to move over late in the braking zone where do you expect me to go? I pulled wide to get the outside line and right at the braking point you swerve in front of me. Think yourself lucky I'm not a turkey and know how to feather the pedal and not punt you into the wall. Had it been 70% of the other guys in this Div you would have been enjoying rubber barrier reflex gag.

Hatfield incident is under review and I'm taking complete responsibility for that. I just misjudged track width. Had I held a tighter line into that following chicane I would have been slow on the apex and likely caused a bigger incident. Try not to dwell on the current corner and think about the following sequence. It could have been a lot worse.

Ahahahahaha you are a comedian! You pushed it deep on the brakes, could not control your car to the point were you ram me! Don't give the position back! You were behind me caused contact to make a pass! Then talk up how great you are at driving then randomly bag on everyone. Not before giving a speach on racing etiquette, while being under review! Gold!!

Dude all you have to say is my bad. Try not to let it happen. But that seems to be against your grain. Your the man

Thats better. Good russell. How dare you!

Wait you’re happy to throw everyone else under the bus, but will quickly excuse your own tardation moments? You wouldn’t happen to call yourself a man also by any chance?

Grrrr bAnTre

Not going to blow this up, so I advise checking the replay. I broke before you. Well before you. How I'm deep on the brakes I have no idea.

Nope. I've been quite open about my fondness of dressing up as a woman. Not sure what gender stereotyping has to do with racing though. Does my tuck make you uncomfortable?

My friend if you are proud of yourself that's all that matters. The man.

When you’re being protested by two different people in the same round it is very unwise to hang crap over other people’s driving etiquitte.

Love you too, darling. xox

That's a good point, but I wasn't born yesterday. I already spoke with both parties and we seem to be in agreement with how actions played out. Ask both of them and you'll find that within 10min of the race end I had addressed the scenarios and apologised for any part I played in them. However, one of the mentioned parties has had a complete reversal to what was said which to me suggests they're being coached by the other party to support their protest. I'm not stupid, just vocal. Let's call apples apples - it's one protest that's clutching at straws by trying to back up an obvious breach which I've owned responsibility, with irrelevant supporting evidence. The video was pretty though. Good job, @Hatfield

Division 2 Show the way in Etiquette, Gentlemanlike Race Craft and Passion.

Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa + Miyabi Race 2

Well for the first time so far it seemed I had just enough pace to hold onto the back of the field lol. For Race 1 made a cautious start which I was glad for considering some of the chaos that happened ahead for the first lap, happily sitting in behind the pack of 7th-10th as @Hatfield started to pull away from @Bryan_F, @Knuckles, @razor4797 and I.
Stayed that way for the first half or so, with a nice clean train happening before Razor had tried for a move on Knuckles in front of me but ran too deep and off track at T7? Hairpin, and Bryan little later making a mistake somewhere. Allowing me to try and gain and pass Knuckles as it seemed he started to struggle with wear maybe, it was a great little spar for a couple laps, slightly starting to hold me up I felt but was difficult to get by cleanly.

I had @Motors560 gaining on me from an earlier mistake though so was keen to get past, was great intensity for a couple laps until Motors ran too deep and accidentally punted me into the T12 double apex. Which he redressed and luckily didn’t go off track but eventually let him back by anyway after a mistake into the next 2nd last hairpin. Seems we were pretty even pace as I just stayed behind him trying to regain time back to Knuckles, not wanting to hinder both our progress by trying to pass. By the last couple laps I starting getting some runs on Motors and decided to try make my move but couldn’t get a chance in the right spots, it was a great battle for the end finishing 9th!

Race 2 started well in 5th before Bryan and Motors got past me through lap 1 due to a couple mistakes with @KeedenMcdonald catching me by the 2nd lap. Made a huge error after he got past into T7 hairpin missing my brake marker, thank god I didn’t take anyone out spearing to the inside, luckily keeping it on track after.
Through the next couple laps I had @Mezign and Hatfield pass through putting me to 8th end of lap 3, Bryan and @TheStig13 quickly catching me on lap 4 showing great respect in passing, leaving me 10th and a fair gap back to StigsTC.
The back half of lap 5 got interesting with 4th back to me in 10th all starting to bunch back up a great looking train ahead of me I just kept my eye on what was happening with juggling positions lol. Very quickly though it became 1st to 10th all within 2.5 seconds, through lap 7 I managed to get to 7th after some inevitable offs ahead.
I was looking good to try and get past @ssman244 on lap 8 and 9 (sorry for the little bump at one stage man) before I was I hit by Bryan from a massive dive into T7 again, putting me off track slightly and back a couple spots, he redressed so it was a mistake but just had Razor and StigsTC too close so missed out on a nice 7th.

If I don’t end up in the dirt I look forward to more of the battles I had here for Willow Springs! I won’t really dive into the topic of driver etiquette going on as I didn’t really encounter any of the bigger drama that happened, but I feel personally that if an incident redressed then it’s been acknowledged as a mistake by the offending driver. It can’t change what the result was, but that’s apart of the game. Though for me I experienced some great racing on my end of the round.

Couple full race replays from my point of view if anyone wants a watch .

You say that and yet i've had two protests thrown at me from this round and both weren't due to poor driver etiquette on my end. One should never have been a protest (I won't say who it was) and rightly was ruled a racing incident. The other is currently still under investigation but i feel will be ruled a racing incident as well. I know you meant this for @Mezign but my point would be don't judge people's driving etiquette until the protests have been resolved. No one in the division would intentionally make contact with another driver. At the end of the day we are all human and we all make mistakes (Expect Beau who is definitely not normal but in a good way )

Speaking of @Mezign and for anyone else who may decide to protest me in the future please feel free to message me on here before you do so. I always want to get protests solved as quickly as possible mainly to help the stewards out as i know they must get sick of going through several of them a week. Even if your not looking at protesting it can be something as simple as "What happened here" i'm more than happy to sort things out with you keep that in mind.

Also @Mezign regarding the final lap of race 2, Respect for me is a two way street. I'll respect you if you give me consistent clean, hard but fair racing and vice versa. It doesn't help when you shove me out of the way on the final lap. Just understand that i'm not going to be act as your punching bag i get enough of that crap in sport races. My motto is "If you give it expect me to give it back just as hard if not harder" which explains the move at the hairpin. Had you have kept 2nd you would have been protested anyway so you should be grateful that i got the position back otherwise 3 protests in 1 round might be a new ROOZ record

Short race recap, I lead a division 1 race!!! which was really cool until @KeedenMcdonald pulled off one of the coolest overtakes on the final lap to get ahead. Had some good battles with several drivers @Pubs16 especially had a great battle for most of race 1. I know we can race clean guys. Let's do that next race should be fun with all the retro liveries.
