After many attempts I've finally made it through my first vroc race without a crash. Took a bit of luck as I almost got taken out first lap in a melee at masta. The I ran 4 straight 28s in my trusty REP. OK, it was just a 5 lapper and I am hella slow but it was fun fun fun. I held off a rapidly approaching lotus for 4th place. Now if i can just figure out how to maintain speed through burneville-->malmedy. Thanks to all with their advice about masta. I just take it easy through there now. Was doing pretty good in another Spa race until I got a vroc enema from a speeding eagle. I think GPL should model front end damage a bit more ruthlessly to prevent such nefarious activities.

One thing I've seemed to notice is that when there is a rear-end collision in GPL, it is the car that gets rear-ended that really takes the hit, often flipping off the track, while the offender that hit him gets off free. I hate to admit it, but I used this to advantage one time in a particularly messy VROC race. A guy had just punted me off the track for the 2nd time in the race. We both Shift-R'd about the same time and I found myself right behind him. I was pissed and ran into him from behind. He was flipped off the track again and I continued ahead with no damage. Felt guilty and good at the same time :- ). Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
