I think it's fair to say there are a lot of people getting upset with just how competitive the GTL league is turning out to be.

Of course we all want to win but for most of us it's only a fantasy. Personally I enjoy a good scrap at the back of the pack more than over-driving the car and falling off every other lap, or worse - ruining someone else's race. I was so steady at the start of Dijon I was four places down after the first turn, only to pick up two of them before the second turn as two people had a coming together and ended up in the gravel. I don't know if there was blame to be apportioned to any of the individuals in that particular incident, but it makes my point.

Don't forget:

* Try not to ruin any one else's fun
* Be aware of the people around you (make sure you have the virtual mirror enabled)
* It's only a game

It's only because my steadying influence has been missing for the last 2 races

I think allot of the accidents are down to the tracks and the way the ferrari handles.

The two accidents I had in the last race were on fast corners where you loose allot of time if you get a slide on.

I got a bit sideways and Ian tapped the back of me first. I dont think I left him anywhere to go other than into the back of me.

Then the same happend with me and Neil a few laps later.
I was very close to the back of neil going into the corner and as he scrubbed speed with a slide I got on the brakes trying to avoid him but then slid into him.

Lesson to be learnt is to hang back a little further and go past on the corner exit when somebody infront makes a mistake, rather than go right into the back of them.

Digon is very tough to overtake on as there are no slow corners or hairpins to make a pass on.
Didnt have any problems at donnington even though I raced very closely with Ian and PV for lap after lap.

If I am going to hit someone who is in a slide (sometimes you cant avoid it) I try to aim for the front of their car so I knock them out of their slide.
