Since I'm a fairly slow but consistent driver I often pass people when they fall off. This ofcourse means I often end up having faster cars behind me which really want their position back badly, a fairly exciting prospect to say the least.
What annoys me then is the 'lappers' who seem to only have one line and if you are in the way they'll clip your rear or barge you and then drive on without as much as a sorry in the chat.
And sometimes I have even experienced being barged by lappers who are in fact one round behind, that is just so wrong.
And these are not n00bs or newbies but often people who drives close to WR times on the track...that is exceptionally annoying.
The other annoying thing is that if I drive somewhat slower than the car behind me on say the last lap, then I gotta be allowed to drive a defensive inside line through the curves, it's not my fault they can't haul a proper overlap in time, I have been yelled alot by some for doing this but surely this must be allowed? If I can see the other car in the rearview mirror then I should be allowed to take the line of my choosing, no?
Ofcourse on the straights I let them blast by, but even on straights I have experienced being clipped by near WR drivers who then procede with a verbal assault on chat. And ok, I'm slow, but I'm not roadblock slow either, nothing that should be dangerous to a good driver atleast.
I don't know if I have a point. I guess my point is that a good driver has to take into account us non-expert drivers also. We might lap 3-4 secs slower and he might find us in a difficult bend, on a straight just fast enough to ruin his entry speed for the next curve etc, and as it is in fact a jostle for true positon (not blue flag or anything) I think even we deserve enough courtesy to not be rammed off the road.
If it weren't for us, what would be fun about being fast anyway.
