??? I don't understand? Omitted GPL? GPL was never part of this
discussion. And what quote are you referring to? Poor Defense? you lost
me Frank. And by the way, I'm a far cry from "screaming out my window"
in regards to this. This is the only thread I've had a discussion
regarding the corner cutting, so I would hardly call it "screaming"
about it. As far as making a big deal out of nothing, I make a big deal
out of something that is a big deal to me. Unsportsmanlike conduct.
Deliberately running off course to have faster times, is unsportsmanlike
conduct to me, and really falls under a header of cheating. Like I said
in my last post to you Frank, if your logic was applied the way you want
it to be, then why don't people cut the chicane at the Glen? Or cut
early through turn 11 at Sears Point? It's faster isn't it? It would
improve your lap times wouldn't it? You can't that's why. Because you
have to stay on course. The sand is not part of the race course at
Riverside. And the track does not go straight there.
next..
Listen Frank, first off, it's not how much time you spend on the sand,
it's how much advantage you gain from it. Your on the sand for what you
claim is 1.5 secs.(i'm not sure what 3/2rd is, but I'm hoping it's a
French fraction :) but if it's a typo and you meant 2/3rd's then I want
to know how 1.5=2/3rd, French math perhaps? <G> j/k) But any way, if you
spend 1.5 secs on the sand, and I have to slow down MUCH more to make
the turns correctly, then you gained A LOT more than 1.5 secs. Probably
closer to the point of 3 secs. Now compound that lap after lap, and
guess what. You are building up an extremely unfair advantage.
<sarcasm>
Oh, sry, I didn't know I was supposed to keep up with EVERYTHING that
ever was posted here so as not to repeat anything.
</sarcasm>
Just because a thread already existed means what? That we're not allowed
to discuss it any longer?
Again, you've been using this defense the whole time, yet can't come up
with ANY proof that real people did it in real life. And don't try to
point out Marc's R.Petty photo as proof, you can read my reply to that
if you want to know why. I think your just hoping they did, so you can
justify it. I mean who told you they did? When did you see them do it?
How many races have you ACTUALLY seen at Riverside? I do not for an
instant believe that any real life competitors used the "straight line"
approach the way it is used in the game, without at least incurring some
penalties. Not sure if you get the channel Speedvision or not Frank, but
every so often they run replays of early IROC races at Riverside. I've
watched them on many occasions, and have never seen anyone cutting the
esses, on purpose anyway. These are the only races I've seen at
Riverside, and what I am basing my defense on. But at least I know there
is actual footage to back me up. You on the other hand.....?
So I guess I must lead a sheltered life or something, since I never saw
people deliberately cut corners at those 2 places. But then again, I
don't/didn't race with EVERYONE, so it's of course possible, and in fact
probable. How would I know from the back of the pack anyway :) But
again, just because they do/did it, doesn't make it right. That's the
issue. Not whether "everyone is doing it", but rather that it's wrong to
do it at all. Like I said before Frank---dare to be different. But I bet
when N4 comes, or whatever they want to call it, and the walls are taken
out of the Glen, and Sears, you'll be the first person cutting through
turn 11 at Sears claiming it's ok because you only do it for 1.5
seconds. and besides you think you saw real drivers do it too.
