If i can give you one piece of advice, bite through the rookies. Don't try to cheese it by hanging back for SR so you can get in the higher classes and try to race it out. Your avoiding ability will grow immensely, and that will benefit you in future racing cause the crashing and bumping also happens in higher rated lobbies, but you will be prepared for it by then!
@@Bsaelman thanks. I don’t plan on crashing anyone on purpose yet. I just probably need one of those chairs. I’m using an office chair and when I brake I push the chair back lol.
@@jackshafto9123 We have all been there haha, i use a Playseat Challenge and a G29. Started with a homemade wheelstand and deckchair where I had the same problem with, taking the wheels of helped abit but not anyone can do that haha
That's my clip at 6:22. I was the black Miata in front that got divebombed, and only realized something happened on the rejoin because of the "there's an incident behind" crew chief message, and then the BMW came on voice chat to say he was going to report this guy. So, I decided to check the replay to see what happened. That was the leader of the BMWs that he took out, by the way...
I wouldn't call it a dive bomb perse but it was a bit of a late launch, even tho I have tried the same point for out braking with the GR86. Some with more succes than others haha so the move on it self was okayish. The rejoin after is just an idiot move, that was just bullcrap.
@@Bsaelman The camera angle here really made it look less egregious than it actually was. From my in-cockpit POV, he just comes shooting past on the inside. He braked way too late, and had no chance of making the corner. But you're right, it's the rejoin that made it worthy of me submitting the clip.
Everytime that piano intro plays i expect its the start of thomas the tank engine, so i just imagine it in my head as the video plays and it kinda works
0:04 This is not *Idiots of the Week* - this is the exact reason *why you race Talladega in the trucks* - because everybody does their absolute best driving, and nobody's best is ever good enough. It's not IF this will happen, and the fun is 100% contained in seeing WHEN it will happen. Seeing Who's Right (turning) and Who's Left (literally).
Yeah I was in this race, at the finish all I seen was smoke, and I just hit the gas harder, could've not gotten a 4x if I was smart but, I didn't care, after the race I watched that reck over and over at least 2 dozen times
And one I will ALWAYS report for. I'm sick of being taken out like that - regardless if I'm in a formula or sports car, I have been taken out from the lead on so many occasions with this tactic. I wish IR would update their penalty system to detect shit like this and award severe penalties. It's too easy to do this deliberately. I'll submit a clip from this week to show it. And I'll just rewrite my own penalty system... :D
Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen this many incidents that should result in a ban of sorts. Is it me, or is the standard of driving and sportsmanship going down rapidly?
Submit your clips for next week's video! www.reddit.com/r/iRacingIOTW/

6:06 It's not often you can say you won a race going backwards.
I started my iracing journey and I now pray I don’t show up in these new lol

I hate this game, every time turn 1 always someone has to clip and take out half the grid
0:37 Blue car won by 1 frame

IQ levels must be rising. Or else Christmas diverted idiots elsewhere.
