Fabri, you are the second guy that took pretty sure win from me when you accelerated on round 1 start even when you didn´t know where others are. In real life that would be like starting the race even when you got blind at start but start anyways... pretty sure you would have lost your superlicense if you had done that in real life. So coming from you it is not really convincing to say it was just unfortunate episode. It was bad and irresponsible driving on both cases.
Man, why those harsh words on Fabri when your angry is towards me ? He only was underlyning the reality of the unlucky/unfortunate moments every driver experiments a day or another. He wouldn't have lost his superlicense for this several weeks ago event (!) in real life as he wouldn't have experienced a laggy server/PC in the heat of the action by the way. When I experience lags or stutters, it's almost always in the very heat of some action, so it just can't be anticipated. And there is no "pretty sure win" at T1 L1, ever, sorry to say.
Maxime, first thing you need to do when you are planning to rejoin track is to make sure there is no-one coming hot in close proximity. If you had done that you would know to hit brakes immediately when you noticed your car is not turning and kept it safely in side of the track. As you said you crawled so you would have easily made the car stop before going in the middle of the track. So it was not bad luck but bad and irresponsible driving.
I'll try to stay as synthetic as possible :
1) Once again, I really, sincerely get all your frustration/disappointment and even angry at first. But then, Jukka, when a driver offers his best apologies to you, why keeping all that acrimony, talking about "bad and irresponsible driving"... I mean, perhaps they're not the best words to use when you got half a week to think about what happened.
2) "coming hot in close proximity" : Not so easy you might admit when the cars enter this curve from a 280km/h braking to about 195km/h minimum, and even less likely when your car is coming exactly from my dead angle : I can't see you coming from my right, nor from my back as you're in the in-between. I can't hear you neither, and my Helicorsa doesn't show you before the contact.
3) "If you had done that you would know to hit brakes immediately when you noticed your car is not turning and kept it safely in side of the track. As you said you crawled so you would have easily made the car stop before going in the middle of the track." : I get what you point out of course but there is a small bit of time that you spend in a "WTF" moment first you know, you can't really expect your car not to turn when you turn your wheel that much. Grass travel time doesn't count as it's always a no-grip situation of course, even at rather low speed. Then why not hit the brakes ? Well, when you cross a railroad and see the train coming, you don't hit the brakes, you try to pass and pray it will be good. I was crawling at 50km/h when at the very best I could have got that my car wasn't turning and that I might be a danger for other cars to come. If was jumping on brakes at this moment, I'd have ended in the middle of the track. I'm pretty sure no one would spontaneously do that. Probably you're right that in this very situation it would have allowed you to pass through, but it wasn't as easy to analyse as you pretend.
4) Maybe you could take into consideration that I just had been taken out of the race too..
I'm sincerely sorry to read about your actual real life difficulties and wish you better things asap. It's up to you to quit or not this series but maybe you could continue it looking only at the fun side of the things ?
Regards.
