R3E - Ranked Multiplayer - Beware of J. West

Intentional punting - GTR4 - Portimao

From the R3E Discord, I learned that J. West is a repeat offender. He got banned in the past. The incident has been formally reported. I will see if Sector 3 Studios does anything.

Is that GamerMuscle James West or someone else? I have certainly got a few videos of GamerMuscle intentionally wrecking people, he is definitely not the safest driver to be around as he is pretty aggressive but this seems out of step with his usual incidents.

Not sure I'd call that intentional wrecking for several reasons.....

Going by your Nordiques profile you most likely live in Canada? if so and that is Gamer muscle he is located in the UK and you are probably on a UK server as the north American ones are usually ghost towns. Which leads to a higher ping for us.
Personally, I'm quite disappointed with what Raceroom has done with the online servers. They use to have a North American East & west server and brasil....now they have eliminated that and combined north American and Brasil together....really?
on America servers I get a ping of 35-40 on the Europe servers i get 165+

I was a beta tester for several yrs and Raceroom always had an issue with cars sticking together for a moment when you drive alongside someone and make contact. It may not feel like there is contact but there is.

from what I see....you get a run on him on the inside and he drifts over, right as you pull up to his rear right there looks to be contact which pulls his car to the right then you get stuck together, and probably neither of you could control the cars for a brief moment until it becomes unglued.

was he aggressive? yes tho I didn't think it was intentional.....more lack of awareness and skill to be honest lol
The more I watch it the more weird things I see lol
When he cuts you off on the right-hander was there contact? cause i don't understand how he turned right and slid wide left?

Hello Krupt CDN,

Yes, I live in Québec City. Based on the way I felt it, he purposely pushed me in the barrier. I have a 1 Gigabit
fibre optic connection. There was no lag. I think that on the second time he cut me off, I did apply the brake to prevent contact with him but I did touch him. I think that is what triggered him.

No. It's Jo West, an infamous terrible driver who gets lapped then rams people off the road.

Terrible driver? It takes some serious skill to set up a precision move like that and not take himself out lol

There are a number of these guys who are infamous on the Discord for constantly crashing into others and never getting banned by the devs. Seems their driving skills are mainly in the field of stunt driving.
