I have kind of dilemma, as in title.
It was returning every time after same situation: racing in middle field, an ultra fast driver is screaming BLUE FLAG! BLUE FLAG! from kilometer, and when catching me in corner with greater speed: bang. Two cars spinning on the grass. Then, standard 'move you ass noob!' or 'learn to drive idiot!'. But hey, when it is not my fault (in chicanes it is hard to avoid speeding missile properly), I think that some very fast guys can not drive another raceway they've learned, or react like race driver should react in changing conditions.
I have an interesting story also
Some years ago I've installed Rally Trophy demo on friends PC, because it was brand new machine. He wasn't interested in motor-sports like me, but he started playing it too. First attempts to control the car failed due to different arcade behaviour in games, but after time we where able to complete rally stage alive. Some day he told me that he beated my pb, so I worked at home and beated his. He was really fast and I was ashamed by some of his new pb's and driving abilities.
Anyway, when we purchased full version of Rally Trophy I couldn't believe that he is not able to do any corner of new stage! He was trying with demo car, but even then he was crashing in every corner, while I used to this arcade driving model in demo times and drove not super fast, but always to finish without big crashes.
I believed that he learned the car behaviour in game, but in fact he only learned to press buttons in exact known moments, and on another stage he was like at first time we played demo.
After this happened I lost respect to group of uber fast drivers who cannot drive, in fact.
Do you know how it is in LFS world, how hotlappers practise, how many of them are talented racers really, and how many just exploits LFSs 'work_in_progres' physics and are driving mechanically?
