Ian, I realize you were having calibration problems at Rouen but NO APPOLOGIES ARE NECESSARY. When you can run 4 secs a lap faster than me I was in the way. I deserved to get punted. I know it wasn't intentional. I was thrilled to have someone stay in a race as long as you did. Trying to catch up made me drive harder (not necessarily faster). After spinning a few times I was 28 secs behind but I never say die. I just wish others would stay in and finish races. You tried as long as you could. Even though you seriously kicked my ass it was still a blast. Thanks. Joe
It's very nice that you don't blame Ian, but why do you say 'Everyone read this!' in the topic if this message is only for Ian? Andre

The point I was trying to make is that it was nice that someone at least tried to stay for the whole race. My VROC experience so far is that when ever someone has the slightest trouble they leave the race. I still have yet to finish a race online. I guess I am just trying to make the culprits feel guilty. I realize connection problems etc. play a role in this also but seeing the chat messages "I suck" or "I am to slow" with the ensuing loss of that driver tells me its not just connectivity. Even with his controller problems Ian stayed in as long as possible. I was much slower than Ian and probably turned into his line when he punted me. That makes it my fault yet he had enough class to appologize. I have read several times here how people are frustrated about drivers giving up at the first sign of trouble. It is double frustrating for me as I am brand new to VROC. Joe
