AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH. Why don't people use the ing brakes on the first corner????? I now prefer to have a crap start and then thread my way through the broke wreckage of numerous cars, or if I'm at the front, get a good start and wait to get punted into the nearest barrier on the first corner. Some people have no idea how to race properly.

Anyone fancy a proper game?

We do. You just have to tend to look a little higher up the points table to find the guys that can race. Invariably though, they usually race in a room with no collisions for that very reason; although they can all race, even a slight mistake by someone else can punt you off & lose you a serious amount of points (30 in one race being my personal best/worst!).

Still, just look for me most evenings.

I can't stand racing without collisions though. You might as well do a time trial and post your scores up. A bit of argy bargy is ok, but when you are taking a corner and a dickhead from 10 places back takes most of you out then it is a bit off.

Like I said, the guys with high ratings only race with no collisions, even with each other. However, non-rated games aren't a problem.

Having a rating of 2400+ tends to make you a bit of a target for the lower rated muppets; hence my losing 30 points in one race.

If you fancy it, there's a hundred-lapper of the A1-Ring in DTM Tourers on wednesday night about 9pm. Need to find me between 8 & 9. 5 lap qualifier for grid order then race.

With collisions against a bunch of guys that DO know how to race properly. Non-rated though.

Sounds like a right laugh. Unfortunately I'm playing footie till 9 and would only get back about 9:30. Shame you can't spectate.
