Funny thing is, this doesn't seem to happen with GPL on VROC.
I suppose GPL racers tend to have invested more time in learning the
sim, so they are more interested in actually racing than just messing
around.
And despite some complaints in the newsgroup, on the whole I find the
standards of politeness and consideration on the track to be extremely
high.
If TEN is different with Nascar races, maybe it just reflects the era
being simulated - the racers were more gentlemanly in 1967!
