This tension is leading me to win less races than I'm capable off (end up having not many laps at a good enough performance). One other type of overtake you didn't mention is when the guy is craft enough to not hit you from behind or knock on the side neither cut the corner... but to do a very late brake, but manage to cut in front of you so even if you were positioned to do a early acceleration and the guy is all out of place in your front, you can't do anything without hitting him... I consider it a fair overtake but it is a little frustrating. |
Yeah I didn't mention it since it technically is a fair overtake although they cut you off and make you brake. That's how the leader usually gets away, the people behind him (or you if you're lucky to be in front) slowing each other down like that in corners.
And indeed, while racing I spend more time looking at the mirrors, radar, time differences and movements of cars around me than on making the next corner. It's taxing within a group of cars where one is pushing and is causing all kinds on secondary fallout. And I never really know what to do when one or more cars are ghosted and people are driving inside each other.
Oh well, 1 in 5 almost clean races is still a good result compared to what random matchmaking normally leads to. I had another clean from last to 5th race which is a lot of fun. Of course the next has me adding to the block list again. And yeah DR ranking means little in SR.S, not enough players.
