While the above does seem like a " A & B " conversation, I just can't " C "
my way out of commenting on it. I don't know what type of racing you watch
John, but the above scenario accurately depicts the way things are done in
NASCAR racing. Did you miss Bristol or something? Remember Jeff Gordan
and Rusty? And all Rusty said was " that's racing ". And you want to bann
the man for doing something in a SIM that is perfectly legal in real life.
I seriously hope that it doesn't happen.
Perhaps you are an F1 fan, where the officials wear out that blue flag when
someone is seen as " slowing up the leader ". That is, IMO, where the BS
comes in. If he is so fast, why can't he pass with out the aid of the
officials? And if he is so fast in Nascar, how did the guy get close enough
to bump him in the first place. In NASCAR, a friendly little bump in the
rear is usually enough to get your point across. I guess it all comes
down to " Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. "
Since you have just made it plain that if you are bumped, or if you think
you were treated unfairly, you intend to crash out the offending driver,
perhaps it is you that should be banned? And now, before you actually
***up someones racing.
I don't know how he got in front, or really care how he stays there. But
he knows the way things are in Nascar, he watches the races, and for all he
knows Jeff may be in the same NRO race he is. Now, if Jeff will bump
someone in a real car, don't you think he will bump him in a virtual car?
And how many Jeff Gordan wannabes do you think there will be in the NRO?
Quite a few I'll bet.
As to helping him, well no, he isn't obliged to. But if the offending
party has altered his racing line for the sole purpose of blocking the
others, then he is just asking for a little " love tap ".
