UPDATE: This driver has now been given a permanent ban from Low Fuel Motorsport. Full respect to LFM - they’ve acted really swiftly to investigate this. The whole protest system on LFM really is very thorough, and the team are doing an excellent job in their attempt to maintain good driving standards for us all. For those of you on the LFM Discord, you can find the report as Incident #48154 👍 Thanks for watching!
@@SwordnScale Yeah, but nothing stops him of just creating another fake account to do this all over again. With iRacing, you would actually have to pay for another subscription, which is tied to your paypal and what not. Intentional crashing happens occasionally in iRacing too but not to that degree.
Him failing to hit several stationary cars was hilarious though 🤣 probably the reason he's obviously so frustrated, I would be mad too if my car control was that bad 😅
Haha yeah, amongst all the frustration, I had to chuckle at that too 🤣 and the terrified guy at the back, putting it in reverse as the lights come on, just to get out the way!
Yeah, I never thought I’d ever make a video where I called for a lifetime ban 🤣 I’ve seen deliberate acts of revenge before, but against one person. This was against anybody and everybody! Only consolation is that most of it happened before the race started. No consolation to the few who got wrecked on the start line though. Really disappointing!
Just want to add that your channel, commentary, advice and overall view of sim racing has really sparked my own passion for it. You deserve to blow up my man....and you will
Ahhh thank you so much. The actual race was a really good one, so I felt a lot happier come the end. And looking forward to putting that vid together this week. Thanks for all the support and kind words 😃
Oh dear! Not much I can add beyond the video and comments here, but am I right in thinking that in iRacing he’d have been disqualified in qualifying? Could LFM introduce an incident limit for quali sessions so at least he wouldn’t have been able to wreck as many races?
Absolutely would have an been an iRacing DQ! I’m not sure if the incident points carry over from session to session in rf2 / LFM like they do in iRacing. Certainly would have helped with this one though!
Ahh thank you mate, it’s just a hobby currently that I stumbled upon while making a few videos out of boredom during the lockdowns! Still amazed by how much it’s taken off. Only ever planned to do a few vids!
@@chrisrogerssimracing Well, i'd say youve found your talent! Why not go the extra mile, see where the road takes you. Life is like a box of chocolates, go chase your dream!
Ahh mate, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realise it was you! Normally I’ll check all the names when I do commentary, but I didn’t check them this time as I wasn’t going to reference anyone by name. How annoying… I didn’t realise you’d get penalised for rolling backwards. But what else can you do, when you’ve got that idiot running riot in front of you. Sorry again, and hope you have better luck next time 🤞
These are probably the same kind of people you'd see in Forza compilations. With FM7 being delisted they are probably looking for an alternative while waiting for the new title. xD
Based on these actions, there is no way he feels any shame. He doesn't belong in the community and everyone would be much better off without him in it. If he can't be named to other drivers, hopefully racing control will pass on his name to other controllers for a community-wide ban.
Yeah, there’s never an airtight way, sadly, as they can always create other profiles and things. But thankfully this type of incident is quite rare. Couldn’t believe what I was watching when I fired up the replay!
Wow mate. What a troll. This is the behaviour I fear amongst other racers as I'm only just getting into sim racing. They should just go play arcade racers. Thanks for highlighting Chris. Another great upload. Cant wait to see the "real" race. Love from 🇦🇺
Scumbag drivers behaving this way should definitely be banned a minimum of a year. The more we race as if we're actually in the car (where real injury consequences exist) the better racing respect will be. Thanks Chris!
This is open lobby behaviour, which I've seen before and sadly been subjected to 😢 I do hope LFM get rid of him Chris. One bad egg out to spoil everyone else's enjoyment. I look forward to seeing the actual race in due course!
I am the red car on the right at 3:05... I have been so lucky ! I met this guy a few times in this category ruining other drivers race.... I don't understand this behaviour + you loose SR/ELO because of another guy ! I may be not the best simracer but I am doing my best to respect everyone race on the track !
Nice to hear from you mate, and a pleasure to share the grid with you. With that attitude, you are the best sim racer in my eyes. Maybe not the fastest, but the best 😃 Big respect
Seen this kind of shithousery before in an AC open lobby. A driver deliberately going the wrong way around a track and looking for head on smashes. And admitting to finding it funny. I wonder how funny he'd have found it if any of us had tracked him down and punched him in the face?
Totally, it’s just such a pointless and unnecessary thing to do. I guess we shouldn’t really be surprised, seeing how so many people seem to behave on social media and other online places these days. Very sad.
Despicable behaviour. It does look suspiciously like the account holders toddler got access to daddy’s rig and just decided to play Wreckfest. Lock your keyboard when you go for a comfort break guys. 😅😅😅
Warning - dark humour alert. Has anyone considered someone might have been flashing lights at him in a previous race which could have induced an extreme case of target fixation/Parkinson’s/epilepsy all at once while playing on a stream deck in a forest with dodgy internet connection? 🤣😂🤣
Through consideration & the pursuit of wisdom throughout my life i issue the following warning: one only needs to recognise madness. Trying to understand it could lead to it’s adoption. 👼🏿🙏🏿 😂👍🏿 You are blessed with the voice of an F1 commentator. Gittism is not your path my child 🤣
Good shout. I’m not sure if there’s a function to vote to kick someone in rF2. There certainly is in AMS2. It would be helpful in situations like this.
The kind of "driver" who you wish had a very powerful DD wheel and accidentally got their hands caught in the wheel when it suddenly spines with their hands still caught in it.
That is just disgusting. You've obviously had time to calm down a bit but I feel your frustration here Chris. I get a couple of races in a week and if they go down like this it puts a downer on the whole week.
Yeah, I think the only reason I remained reasonably calm was because the worst of it happened in qualifying for me. That’s no consolation to the guys on the grid he ploughed into though! But for me, luckily I was just far enough in front to miss it, and managed to get a race in. But yeah, not great at all.
wtf that person obviously has problems, he has totally lost all reasonable sensibility, you definitely wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night. Puts my incidents to shame. 🤣
Hahaha, yeah I’ve definitely not seen you do anything like this, mate 🤣 luckily we managed to salvage a decent race out of it, so the next video will be far more positive!
@@chrisrogerssimracing There was something familiar about the MO of waiting on the side of the track and then throwing something on it before a passing vehicle.
In two minds about this, hilarious on the starting grid but also "what a complete (insert swear word of choice). He blatantly is ruining it for as many people as possible and should be banned, not fair at all.
Yeah, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw a couple of his attempts to ram people. They were comically bad! But yes, I’m sure LFM will act on it quickly, once they get a few reports in 👍
Wow. I have never seen anything like that before, even in public lobbies (I've been lucky?). What gets me though, is that to race on LFM, you have to pass a reasonably strict test to get your first license. So the guy knows how to drive properly, unless his account got hacked of course! Defo a lifetime ban is due though, for sure.
@@matthewbyrd398 Haha not yet. I still need to file the report, which I’m doing tonight. Hopefully I’ll have an update by the time I edit the race video.
Haha I know, crazy right? It’s not the type of video I usually like to make. But on this occasion, it was just so unbelievable, I thought I had to document it! 🤣
Lost it completely. Probably the only ‘fun’ this guy has in his life. Experienced a similar situation in raceroom once. They guy waited half the race before exerting the pit on a rampage.
Good grief. That's even worse than what you might find on open lobbies. I've never seen anything like it. We should know his name though. Please keep us posted on how things work out with your complaint.
Yes, it’s definitely a new low that I’ve never seen before. LFM have a pretty thorough protest procedure. If I hear anything before I make the race video, I’ll add an update on there 👍
Yes, that’s the fella! A few other people have commented and said he was doing the same in the practice servers too. Cheers - next rF2 vid coming this week will be far more positive 😃
Good heavens Chris...! Maybe had a bad day at the office and decided you can all share his frustration... Its bad enough when unintentional things happen never mind this awful nonsense... Possibly they thought it was GTA....!
Sadly we see this in every sim when there is ranking. Not only sims but games in general. There is a subset of "humans" that enjoy spoiling others fun. Same with cheaters, we will always til the end of time wonder whats going on in their brain, and that is why. We assume they have one.
@@chrisrogerssimracing And u never will, because you are governed by logic and reasoning, which is something they do not posse. Hope u managed to get them banned.
@@firstjayjay Yeah I’ll file the report later, and I’m sure others will as well. It would be funny if it wasn’t so frustrating! Particularly when he accidentally missed two stationary cars on the start line 🤣
Hey Chris, what pathetic behaviour from this guy! Ironically, he was not even good at taking drivers out. Looks like you absolutely got the worst crash - how does it feel to be the lucky chosen one? 😂 In hindsight, this could have gone so much worse; given his deliberate attempts at taking people out, it’s impressive that only a couple of drivers were affected on the starting grid…
Yeah, his ramming skills were comically bad, weren’t they! Couldn’t even do that right! Luckily more people weren’t wrecked on the grid, but felt really sorry for those who were. Never a dull moment!
It was certainly a bang when I hit him! Thankfully, the race that followed this was a treat… so my full video, when I get chance to make it, will be far more positive 😃
Would be cool if you make a video of the protest like tutorial since to send in a protest is not so easy. Not to protest all the time but since racing since 4months on lfm I would have done it in 2 cases but due to all requirements I just dropp it, should btw be more easy to protest since this should be a "non contact" sport. Racing is to fight clean and we all love when 3 cars in the wide fighting and everybody comes through, that whats all about.
Ahh that’s a great idea actually. I did think while I was doing it, that I’d probably be put off submitting it if I wasn’t used to making videos with UA-cam. I get why it needs to be thorough, to stop them being bombarded with pointless protests. But see how it could be off putting for someone who doesn’t make videos regularly. I’ll see what I can do 👍
Tell me if I am wrong, but the only thing he has to do is create a new email and then rejoin. I hate people that drive like this! It has happened too me a few times in GT7 not in a race but just running laps.
Well, LFM membership is done via Steam ID, so you’d need to create a new Steam account to a different email address. And if you do that, you would have to buy the game again. I expect there are ways to transfer it over though. But hopefully, it’s a few extra steps that would put people off doing that 🤞
What a disgrace to simracing! But Chris, how many free fast repairs does someone get? What the hell is this? In iracing you would get away with this a max of 2 times and only once in series with no fast repairs. Is RF2 stupid? It does not excuse his behavior but the reason iracing has no fast repairs after D class or a max of 1 fast repair is too prevent this shit. And i know you mention your sim racing time as your time is limited, honestly just play iracing it regardless of what people say it does have the cleanest racing and an extensive rule set and code.
Yeah, in qualifying you can just reset to the garage, and go straight back out again if you’re damaged. Real shame, as this guy should never have been allowed to get anywhere near the grid for the start of the race. I was just starting to get back into iRacing, driving that Ferrari GT3. Will definitely be doing more of it next season.
Man, what a jerk. I have not had this happen to me yet. But I have heard many horror stories about people like him. I am glad he got DQ'ed. Surprised he didn't go right to the front of the grid and then park it at the start of T1. Most likely, he knew there were some You Tubers on the grid and wants to get his name out there. I am glad you never showed it. Blur it in your video when you make it of this race.
Jeez yeah, that would have been so much worse. He didn’t seem the brightest though… couldn’t even wreck stationary cars on the grid properly! Definitely won’t feature his name, I only usually show the top 15 on screen, as it fits better, and he was well below the top 15 😃
Yeah, it’s the one thing that really gets me angry. Being taken out by people making mistakes, that’s fine - it happens, it’s racing. But someone deliberately ruining a race for their own amusement… makes my blood boil!!
@@Marnie_Racing It’s unimaginable, isn’t it? Happening more and more in gaming, and just generally on social media etc. The only blessing here was that he decided to do most of the damage in qualifying. Once he’d been DQ’d, we were able to have a really good race. Just a shame not everybody was able to start it without damage.
Haha. Whenever I find myself getting annoyed, I always try to remind myself that I’m a middle-aged man getting cross at a computer game 🤣 But games by their very nature are meant to be fun, escapism. So it’s frustrating when I hop into a game to escape those people in the real world who annoy me, just for 20mins or so, only to find them in my game too!
It may be just a game; but this is more a reflection of bad basic human behaviour. Someone deliberately trying to spoil the enjoyment of others with toxic behaviour. People invest a lot of time and money into their hobby. People who deliberately set out to spoil it should be removed. Imagine if you were playing football or tennis and someone deliberately ran onto the court or the pitch and ruined your game? Would you just say ‘oh well, it’s just a game’ or would you feel aggrieved that they deliberately ruined your enjoyment?
@@tonybracing3255 Yeah. It's like spending half an hour building a remote control car kit, only for some snotty kid to come along and stamp on it. "But it's only a toy car." Jesus.
Yeah, I totally understand that view, and I was in two minds about sharing it. After all, by reacting to trolls, you’re only giving them oxygen. However this one was all so absurd, I’ve never seen anything like it. So I knew a lot of people would want to see it. Hopefully, by not naming the guy, I’ve in some way limited the notoriety he clearly seeks 🤞

@@ducat7493 Yeah, I saw that announcement on Discord earlier. LFM do a really incredible job, managing all these protests.
If someone in that lobby have a DD wheel and ran it on high ffb their wrist could've been seriously injured
Great point, I hadn’t even thought of that!
It's for situations like this that there needs to be the digital equivalent of the concealed carry laws.

Ahh that’s a great idea actually. I did think while I was doing it, that I’d probably be put off submitting it if I wasn’t used to making videos with UA-cam. I get why it needs to be thorough, to stop them being bombarded with pointless protests. But see how it could be off putting for someone who doesn’t make videos regularly. I’ll see what I can do 👍
@@chrisrogerssimracing mega 🏁🏁🏁
Tell me if I am wrong, but the only thing he has to do is create a new email and then rejoin. I hate people that drive like this! It has happened too me a few times in GT7 not in a race but just running laps.
Well, LFM membership is done via Steam ID, so you’d need to create a new Steam account to a different email address. And if you do that, you would have to buy the game again. I expect there are ways to transfer it over though. But hopefully, it’s a few extra steps that would put people off doing that 🤞
lmfao how embarassing 2:15 😭
Haha I know, he’s not even any good at wrecking! 🤣
Maybe a angry wife that the husband take a lot of time in simracing.... 🤷♂️🤣🤣
Haha, this is the best explanation yet! 🤣
Wouldn't surprise me if it's just someone who doesn't like rF2. Sim racers can be quite strange.
What a disgrace to simracing! But Chris, how many free fast repairs does someone get? What the hell is this? In iracing you would get away with this a max of 2 times and only once in series with no fast repairs. Is RF2 stupid? It does not excuse his behavior but the reason iracing has no fast repairs after D class or a max of 1 fast repair is too prevent this shit. And i know you mention your sim racing time as your time is limited, honestly just play iracing it regardless of what people say it does have the cleanest racing and an extensive rule set and code.
Yeah, in qualifying you can just reset to the garage, and go straight back out again if you’re damaged. Real shame, as this guy should never have been allowed to get anywhere near the grid for the start of the race. I was just starting to get back into iRacing, driving that Ferrari GT3. Will definitely be doing more of it next season.
Man, what a jerk. I have not had this happen to me yet. But I have heard many horror stories about people like him. I am glad he got DQ'ed. Surprised he didn't go right to the front of the grid and then park it at the start of T1. Most likely, he knew there were some You Tubers on the grid and wants to get his name out there. I am glad you never showed it. Blur it in your video when you make it of this race.
Jeez yeah, that would have been so much worse. He didn’t seem the brightest though… couldn’t even wreck stationary cars on the grid properly! Definitely won’t feature his name, I only usually show the top 15 on screen, as it fits better, and he was well below the top 15 😃
You should make the name. We go get them to their door...
Haha! Or maybe just keep driving into his car that’s parked outside 🤣
That's so disgusting 😠
Shocking ain’t it. Couldn’t believe what I was watching!
@@chrisrogerssimracing and I understand so much what it means when you have limited time to play and you run into this kind of madness.
Damn dude was on drugs 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Blimey it looks like my driving but at least im not doing it deliberately
Haha Stu, don’t worry, I’ve never seen you do anything this bad! Well, apart from maybe a barrel roll or two over some barriers 🤣🤣
Life time ban from all platforms
oh dude i had it today.... im just angry
Yeah, it’s the one thing that really gets me angry. Being taken out by people making mistakes, that’s fine - it happens, it’s racing. But someone deliberately ruining a race for their own amusement… makes my blood boil!!
@Chris sorry you had that garbage happen to you m8😕
Thanks mate, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I started watching the replay back! 🤦🏻♂️
@@chrisrogerssimracing Its sad that poeple take the fun away from others. I see that happening often in ACC unfortunately😕
@@Marnie_Racing It’s unimaginable, isn’t it? Happening more and more in gaming, and just generally on social media etc. The only blessing here was that he decided to do most of the damage in qualifying. Once he’d been DQ’d, we were able to have a really good race. Just a shame not everybody was able to start it without damage.
@@chrisrogerssimracing Keep your head up m8 you are doing grat and dont get discouraged by those salty racers!
Call me cynical but I bet this guy was either streaming on Twitch or trying to drag the RF2 LFM platform through the mud so people stay on iRacing.
That’s an interesting, and plausible, theory! I hadn’t thought of that possibility.
lol he is funny :D
There is some comedy gold in there, for sure. My personal favourite - trying to ram two stationary cars on the start line, and missing both of them 🤣
👍😁😋❤️
Cry cry more lil baby!!😅😅
lmaoo
Don't be a whining carrot, this can happen 🤣think about it would happen in a real race car on real race track........ this is only a game.......
My 2c. This is just a game
Haha. Whenever I find myself getting annoyed, I always try to remind myself that I’m a middle-aged man getting cross at a computer game 🤣 But games by their very nature are meant to be fun, escapism. So it’s frustrating when I hop into a game to escape those people in the real world who annoy me, just for 20mins or so, only to find them in my game too!
It may be just a game; but this is more a reflection of bad basic human behaviour. Someone deliberately trying to spoil the enjoyment of others with toxic behaviour. People invest a lot of time and money into their hobby. People who deliberately set out to spoil it should be removed. Imagine if you were playing football or tennis and someone deliberately ran onto the court or the pitch and ruined your game? Would you just say ‘oh well, it’s just a game’ or would you feel aggrieved that they deliberately ruined your enjoyment?
@@tonybracing3255 Thank you Tony, I couldn’t have said it better myself. This reply is absolutely spot on 👍
@@tonybracing3255 Yeah. It's like spending half an hour building a remote control car kit, only for some snotty kid to come along and stamp on it. "But it's only a toy car." Jesus.
@@tonybracing3255 Wow. You guys have obviously not been layed in a while.
Don't think you should post this sort of content, it just gives dumb trolls ideas
Yeah, I totally understand that view, and I was in two minds about sharing it. After all, by reacting to trolls, you’re only giving them oxygen. However this one was all so absurd, I’ve never seen anything like it. So I knew a lot of people would want to see it. Hopefully, by not naming the guy, I’ve in some way limited the notoriety he clearly seeks 🤞
I’m not gonna lie that was actually funny
