I think ive finally had enough.

trying to race on conedodgers1 tonight, you either get hit in the ass by a backmarker when you are leading or rammed by some dickhead who thinks the race is won at the first corner.

i was going to buy a G25, but the thought of spending that much money only to waste time dealing with complete ****s is now very much on the backburner.

been fun guys.

Sounds like you just have some steam to blow off. All i can suggest is that if you do not like the racing at the server you were racing at then... race somewhere else.

personally i have started to see it as a challenge to get past these people and race up front with the leaders by avoiding the T1 - T5 carnage that tends to happen in servers with high power cars. 7 times out of ten i might not make it... But by pitting and coming straight back out it still turns into a good race / chase to the front runners. And on the occasions that i do make it through (which is increasing..slowly) it feels great and the race is already won

Common sense really.

Part of racing is to observe and read the situation. Of cause, this can't be done every single time, but you'll find that loads of incidents can be avoided easily this way.

...or - simply back off. If you know or suspect T1 issues, then just wait. I've won several positiosn by braking much earlier, at safe area (no other car up my bum) etc etc, and then come through with a Dr. Evil laugh.

Wrong server, like Franky said.

Compare CTRA's FBM server to their XFG/XRG server. On the former you're dealing with an insurmountably monolithic collection of cretins, whereas the latter is generally populated by drivers with functional brains.

Give them a go and see for yourself.

I play offline. You sometimes get upset with the unripe AI, but much better than online

At least you can pummel the crap outta the AI and not get banned

mostly i can expect or accept a T1 wreck, but the straw on my camels back was leading and getting t-boned by a tosspot who didnt even attempt to brake for a 2nd or 3rd gear corner and taking me out........then not even saying sorry.
im half tempted to post a vid of it, just to name and shame the little *as*ard!

HAHAHAHA, nice one

Well, that's quite a popular problem. I've realized, that it's better when you 'almost' stop just before T1, and let the n00bz fight. Of course you're faster, so you can overtake them easily. When I get pissed of by some n00bz, I join a drift server, and burn the tyres
I'm also planning to buy a G25 in a few weeks, I don't think I would regret buying one, even if there are lots of noobies online.
Search for another server, and enjoy.
