bks, all to play for in the last race of that playlist, and connection dropped out as the race started. Did everyone else get thrown out? Couldn't be bothered to load it up again...

Unfortunately some people's frame of mind seems to be that they think the only way they can win is to literally ram everyone else off the road frown
Its a shame you have to constantly be on your guard and try to pre-empt it.
It's frustrating to say the least.

It is funny however, seeing people go shooting across the screen when they try to clip the back of your car to spin you out, but they miss and go flying off the road themselves laugh

The irony is, its not very often that the person trying to ram wins anyway!

I can say hand on heart that I NEVER ram anyone on purpose!
Paint might be exchanged, but I will always try to hold my line.
Id like to think there are quite a few on here I've had very fair and close races with.
I HATE being rammed and know how annoying it is, so for anyone to think that I do it on purpose saddens me TBH! frown

It is also worth noting that quite often you hear someone mention being rammed but the other driver was no where near them, unfortunately its a side effect of lag

I think DJDest is one of the cleanest racers in VBRJ - even Lee managed a fair race with him and put up video evidence a week or so ago hehe

While I try to be clean I am crap sometimes at controlling my car frown

I had a muscle car race with a PHer the other day and I nudged him going in to a corner and span him out. So I stopped and waited for him and let him take first place again. Last night I was in a 3 way race with randoms and got nudged by the second place person so I lost 1st, then the third place person rammed me off the track to take second a few minutes later. Utter s!

Yeah DjDest is definitely a clean racer, any shunts or shoves im sure are lag related or purely accidental.

Here's that vid of him and myself having two really good close laps, we did exchange paint once or twice but it was clean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeqh0SacV_8&ap...

smileOnly joking DJ, don't be sad, it wasn't meant as a dig, hence the smilies - I know you're a clean racer and didn't mean it on purpose

(I do have the video though hehe )

Edit: Actually, looking back at my earlier comment, can see how it might be taken the wrong way, although that wasn't the intention, it was only meant as a bit of banter silly

I will admit to completely misjudging my braking last night on the one race I joined and punting someone up the arse...Sorry frown. I did almost cause an accident right at the line having gone completely sideways on the last corner, but was far enough ahead to get out the way (and keep the place) (I put it down to not being used to both the track and muscle cars in general being tail happy)

Its only a bit of fun anyway, which is why i picked the Voltic/Stainer-Taxi. People shouldn't get mad as when 3 cars go into a corner someone has the lose!

Racing with Pher's i always here people saying sorry etc when hitting me by accident, its fine i don't mind at all! As i know its never really on purpose, its hard to overtake/corner on this game without a little contact.

It was funny last night when Pete took out Billy a few corners in front of me so stopped to let him past... so i overtook both of em hehe

It was good fun last night. Some of the races on that playlist need to go though.
Racing would be a lot cleaner and less incident packed if we had the simple rule of stopping to let anyone you accidentally take out back past you. thumbup

Is it truly possible to misjudge your braking in gta5, bearing in mind you don't know what speed your doing and therefore don't know how much speed you want to wipe off.

Cheers everyone! smile

Some of the tracks were a nightmare last night, especially the one through the car park.

The Bifta one was odd, I lauched at the start and it instantly turned me straight into the barrier, plus those strange jump starts too everyone was having too

Saiph found a way of getting extra boost from the start. I can't seem to get it to work consistently so I gave up with it. I can tweak the playlist and run it again later if a few folk are up for it. It had 15 tracks originally!

What's the right length for a playlist? You don't want it to go on for hours but do want it to be long enough to enjoy.

I've seen a video of the extra boost on a start, IIRC tapping the brake at the right time, certainly worked in the video I saw, a much lesser car was keeping up with a modded supercar.

For a playlist, if you work on a average race time of 5 mins or so a 6 race list is about 30 - 40 mins.
