Clarification of the pit exit as the game has you in autodrive and spits you out near the middle of the track. It is often hard to react quickly enough to stop the wheels going over the exit line
Shameless Promotion time! Running a Red Bull Ring 2 Hour on the 17th of April (Date Pending) in MR GT3 cars (McLaren 650S, Ferrari 458 and Citroen GT3) that I would love to have a second room going for! Looking for any skill level to jump in and enjoy these challenging cars for 2 hours! http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?threads/17-04-red-bull-ring-2-hour.4386/
Haha yeah was a great last lap mate. Well done for holding on. I would have court you earlier but max MY TEAM mate made it hard for me to pass him for 2 laps which gave you a free kick lol. Look forward to our next battle
e, I must have been mistaken that I was on the track to make up the numbers. I actually thought I was a part of the racing... Stupid me.
Guess this in reply to tubbsters comment. A team mate on slower tyres probably shouldn't fight a team mate on quicker tyres to the point it costs their team mate a chance at another position. Your choice in the end, but I've let hat go twice now, 1st race he was on softs to my mediums and catching at a rapid rate, no point fighting him and costing us both, second I made a mistake, didn't want to hold him up so let him go. I guess that's part of being a team imo, others may see it different.
Tubbs livery threw me, wasn't aware he was on the same team. Funny tho, as at the start of the race it didn't seem to deter drivers on Mediums trying to pass those on soft tyres. Nor would I expect them to not have a go. I wouldn't ask or expect any driver to let me pass him, team or not. Both are out there racing and trying their best.
When Ursine caught me, I drove with a determined defense, which I often do not. It was part of my plan to make him work his bum off and burn up the softs as much as possible. I know Ursine would do the same, I felt it was good racing, he picked his moment and got it done. Wasn't entirely sure of Tubbs rubber at that time. From memory I was nowhere near as defensive with him. Much more satisfying to gain a spot through effort than be given it on a plate. I thought it was all pretty good stuff and very enjoyable.
Lemme give you a bit of advice here @Max Gassit If you have a team mate behind you on the faster strategy, it is in your best interest to let them through, for a few reasons. If you find yourself in their position, and you have let them through in the past, they are more inclined to let you through. If you do let your team mate through, you can use their slipstream to gain and advantage, instead of slowing you both down by fighting and falling in to the grasp of any potential drivers behind. if you fight your team mate and crash out, you've lost the team points in the championship. If you fight your team mate and take both cars out, you've lost even more points in the team championship. Just my 10c worth, but I have had team mates help improve my position after helping them at some point prior.
Appreciate the point of view. If at the time I was significantly slower, fair enough. If any driver was obviously making up lot of time, that creates a different situation. There are some that might return the favour but in my experience.... Not many. Mid point of the race is a great deal different to the final laps. And that's coming from one of the least aggressive drivers in the Div.
Having just had another look at the replay... I'm not sure where the problem is. Lap 25 with tubbs behind I just drove as hard as I could, no defence, not fighting any moves, just normal racing lines. When I let him thru at the top of the corkscrew lap 26, it allowed another car to get past. Might opt for privateer next season, it's safer... Ha
I had a crack at you 1st lap on mediums because your not a team mate, fair game. You were also pretty elbows out on the next corner to gain the spot back. No one was having a go at you from what I can tell, just stating their opinion. You chose to take it offensively. All I was doing was pointing out team mates are different when it comes to how hard you fight.
