Slowest Racer in Town...
Joined up with @Peter Koch and @Andi Goodwin on TS to go find some races for a couple of hours. We settled on WTCC for a few of them, which I enjoyed, and we had some fun racing with me at the back as usual.
Some races were larger than others but I think we averaged 8 to 10 people per race with Peter and Andi trying to set the pace against some fast guys. There were the usual number of randoms who were just smashing people off the track, but the other two guys just concentrated on their race, with a gentle push to send the odd badly behaved guy to face oncoming traffic.
The final race of our night together though was another story. Andi decided to find a Canard race - you know, that horrible yellow thing that everyone gets free with the download? I predicted a grid of 16 or 17 yellow cars and, apart from Andi and Peter, I was right.
That car is horrible for me on the default setup - I just cannot handle it and I think the number of times I span on my own probably equalled the number of times that bad drivers rammed me off the track. One guy bumped me off three times and, since I don't have to be nice to people as I don't work for S3, I chased him down and put him into a wall.
I never do that under normal circumstances, but that's why I avoid Public servers and only race with RD guys.
I'll try to ignore the idiots in future, but Dedi servers can't come soon enough for me.
I think I'd better go back to racing offline against the AI for a few days until the evil memories fade...
