The reason I ask is that I feel almost ready to hit VROC, maybe in about a
week or so, and I didn't want to cause offence because I'm bound to make a
mistake and run wide.

But perhaps people found that very offensive, without telling me...
Depends some on how the VROC server has the damage set, if it's on Pro, and I
wish they all were, you won't get away with to much rail riding. As mentioned,
slow down until you unstick and get going again. It's real easy to spin coming
off some armcos, come off easy.

My current practice is to stamp on the gas. I don't feel too guilty
about it as I wait until well after hitting the rails before doing so, so my
lap-time does suffer. I don't go into the corner thinking 'hell i'm not gonna
make it, better floor the accelerator'. I also find that if I try to peel
away from the rails too soon i'm more likely to cause a shunt, particularly
near the start of the race.
If i'm being out of order please let me know as I don't want to be
regarded as a railrider.
Cheers,
Rick.

The most common corner I find myself hitting the rails online is the first
Lesmo at Monza (I've really gotta get control of that "head thing"). And
although the impact is not intentional, I feel like I'm cheating if I floor
it after I hit. I usually try to slow down enough to peel myself off the
barrier and return to the racing line before accelerating. But that's just
me- I've seen others come into it full tilt and actually pass other drivers
on the outside. Somehow that doesn't seem sporting to me.

One problem is that it seems you have to slow down much more than you
should to get off the barrier, given that the barrier is a wider radius
than the turn it shouldn't be that hard.
That makes it tempting for people to ride the rail all the way round
rather than slowing to a crawl to get off it.

I wonder how this can be an issue at all...
I have never even thought of gaining from riding the rails.
If I hit the rails because of overdriving, I think that the race is over, and
that I should creep into the pits to see if it is possible to salvage the car...
Riding the rails to gain from it is utterly, totally and completely
incomprehensible to me. And if I caught someone doing it in a race against me, I
would do my utmost never to race against the same person again.
And if the servers would only use the "pro" setting, we would have no such
thing, ever!!! Hmm, I am going to use only pro race on my server from now on.
And I suggest to all the other hosts around the world to do the same!
This is is a simulation of F1 in 1967, and the sportsmanship and gentleman
behaviour of the era!!!!

If I run too wide at Monza and can't avoid hitting the rail then I just
feel too guilty if there is a car behind me and I will usually slow down
enough to let the car through on the inside. Railriding is for wimps!
