I don't think there was 5 guys on the track last round that didn't drive like lunatics. I've never seen such a lack of respect going into the final round of the season for any league I've ever run in or spectated. With that said, I have no room to complain, because I had my fair share of issues in round 5. We can all agree the contact makes the series what it is, and I love that. The simple fact is that everyone makes mistakes, the problem is that we're beyond the mistake factor, at least for this final round.
If I had a dollar for every dive bomb that was attempted on me that resulted in contact that race, I'd have like 7 bucks.
It doesn't mean you have to be a pure bred dumb ass ether. Not that everyone in this video was, but those guys drive bombing from 10 and 15 cars back should go die in a fire. I hate getting crashed out in T1 by those guys.
This is an idea that should have been put in the sim from the get go... Quite frankly, it's ignorant not to allow it. The exclusion of the ability to repair certain things, or change certain tires, limits the usage of many strategies that are used in real life and other simulations. This very simple change will give drivers more options when preparing for a race.
Double edit: for those who try this, be prepared for the car to be really loose on the fast sections. It has so much downforce and speed that it bottoms out at 200 MPH and faster.
You did a good job fixing you external shots. Now apply a little color correction and your videos will be even that much better. IMO, this is one of you best videos.
This isn't an official video release, but I used my old formatting.
I was messing around the other day and decided to tweak an XRR to be faster than the BF1 world record on AS3R. It's very similar to the 2700's engine settings. Also, a sneak peek at a future video's song.

First and foremost, I was never upset with the contact before the our incident. Even though I was driven off the track, I was comfortable in the position we were in since I was planning on pushing Laprevotte... I knew when this incident happened that it would look like retaliation, but I can honestly say this was a mistake. The reason I was coming up the track is because I expected Laprevotte to go to the racing line, which was about a car width to the right.... I expected the car to be recoverable, but the fact is I should have lifted a bit.
I personally think lag really aided the spin, because it felt like our fenders locked. As I said, I never expected that to be unrecoverable. Regardless of which, I'm not going to overly defend this accident. I'll admit that I should have lifted, but the reason for the initial contact was a racing incident, and a misunderstanding of our racing lines.
