I had ten races there today, five on each account. Only TWO of them were okay-ish, the others all ended in disaster. In one of them I made unforced mistakes, but the other seven races were just... unbelievable, when it comes to driving standards. I'm not saying that everyone is dirty, I found a couple of nice drivers, but the majority is pushing, leaning and what-not. No one gave back a position. And lots of drivers missing their braking points. I mean, in slipstream you can't brake at your qualifying brake marker, right? So many didn't get that memo. I mean, I understand that you can't avoid everything, even when strictly applying the four rules. Even with a VERY careful and conservative driving style, you get pushed and punted etc., how can you stay there in a good mood? So many silly moves, such as three wide into the final chicane? Or trying to pass on that segment from T1 leading up to the tunnel? And when you then watch the replay, the all of a whole x-mas tree blinking, every possible assist active. I mean, I'm not a driving god, I'm using the Corvette, my qualifying time is on my account, it's not the best, but in the race I can keep up with most drivers using the new 911 (btw. I saw another Vette and a Mustang doing VERY well at Trial Mountain). And what's the point of using the meta with every assist on?
What makes me really angry is the vast amount of DR you lose, and you gain so little when you finish on P5 or P8 (when on both occasions starting on P11 and P12). Ten races, in two I gained less than 200 points, and in the other eight I lost close to 1,400. Yes, I can do the math, this is okay for eight races, but I think PD should find a way to let you keep your points when the downfall (loss of positions) was caused by other drivers. And in my first race I started from the back, finished on P9. I think I should have been awared a couple of points. Nope.
I like this track so much, but it got ruined this week...
