Right now I'm suffering from a bit of simracing "disillusionment" or
whatever one would like to call it, so maybe it's not exactly fair to
assess iR at the moment ;-)
All the best,

Whats' the point of penalizing for going on the grass? Isn't the loss of
time enough of a penalty? They don't get penalized for touching the grass
in real racing.

So yes, I'm hoping for a conversion, too. Hmm, driving those 1995 ChampCars
on the Ring -> Schwiiingggggg! ;)

A simple off doesn't cost you too much SR, but they do add up if you're
not careful.

In fact, they made me throw all the shit away I brought with me, then go
re-buy it again LOL

And that is all I will say about that :)

That doesn't excuse doing nothing at all. At least the predecessor,
NR2003 tried to implement some type of rules.
One obvious thing would be no penalty for avoiding or having contact
with one or more cars that were well below the normal speed for a
particular section of track.
Well, I guess it could be me. After all, if you see a lot of accidents,
chances are you're the problem, not them. ;-)
But I've had offs because drivers spun in front of me running before the
can walk. I've had collisions because drivers have spun off and been
impatient when passing me again... exhibiting 'I have the right of way
because I'm faster' type behaviour. I've had collisions when I slow down
to be lapped and they collect me with a nice little x4 for my trouble,
despite me being well over on one side of the track. And I've just --
going against the grain -- nearly had some fun!
Found a guy who was a little bit slower than me, but every time we were
getting into some kind of nip & tuck racing groove, either a recovering
spinner or lapping hotshot would put their oar in.
Anyway, that's racing I guess. But it's a real change from the Solstice
racing I had, where it was easy to be slow and considerate. My Skippy
experience so far is turning me off rather than on. I can get racing this
dodgy on any LFS server at any time of say for free! :-)
I suspect the trick will be to hang on for long enough to get put into
the dunce's league with all the other slow-pokes. At this rate though, I
may not make it that far.
