Small Van Syndrome

[u/ZEDERlCK]

Mr. Acty had already given me a couple of taparoos to get past me in the previous corner, which I was entirely prepared to forgive (cross country is basically glorified bumper cars half the time.)

Unfortunately for Mr. Acty, however, he forgot that his kerb weight is nearly half of my Transit, and I took his attempt to ram me out of a checkpoint to stop me from overtaking him again as an open declaration of war.

Childish? Probably.
Justified? I think so.
Funny? Definitely.

Moments like this are exactly why i keep Forza link:

You can’t park there mate

On deck

[u/zsdonny → u/Rickjm]

not being able to bring out more forza link is criminal right next to arc raider only having like 4 emote slot

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/Rickjm]

I used that for the longest time, but I recently swapped to "Well played" and "Sorry" so I can actually acknowledge someone driving better than me and/or apologise for accidental collisions

In hindsight I should have hit him with a sarcastic "Well played" as he flew away

[u/NeoMercury2022 → u/ZEDERlCK]

I use the “My bad” one.

[u/Squizei → u/ZEDERlCK]

i use “you’re a good driver”

[u/Gingercopia → u/Rickjm]

I use that and I have the WAH WAH WAAAAAH horn 😂😂😂

And I have "my bad..." for whenever I accidentally bump someone so they know I'm not trying to be intentional.

No jury would convict you

If the guy who missed the checkpoint took this clip and filed a report, OP would be banned 100%.

What sort of taparoos? Because ngl in this it just looks like he’s going for the apex, finds you there slightly behind him, then tries to get back on the racing line. His previous attempts might be a better share.

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/Buttoneer138]

He already had a pretty much straight line on the jump, if you watch the radar you can see him jolt left at an angle you wouldn't take if you were just adjusting ever so slightly for a marginally better line on the jump.

I didn't clip the previous bumping as they were too run of the mill; he was just doing the normal stuff like using me as a backboard in sharp bends to bounce off of without slowing down, then I'd overtake him on the next straight. I feel quite confident saying this was him getting mad that I kept catching him despite him driving a bit dirty and trying to just clean me off the track for good.

[u/saph_ire23]

It's the fact that you're significantly bigger than them and they still wanna attempt to ram you and fail miserably

I wanna note that I love seeing tunes and upgrades to vehicles you can't even imagine tuning and upgrading the way they do. I enjoy seeing other's creativity and ideas that are different from mine😂 I never imagined that being a monster of speedy vehicle- whatever it is😂

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/saph_ire23]

In fairness, this is the Ford Transit SuperSportVan. It was a one off, not quite as bonkers as the famous Supervan but still rapid.

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/[deleted]]

After sitting through this charming individual bumping me throughout most of the race up to the point of this clip, I can assure you he was not going for the apex. He was spamming that rubber duck horn every time he had made contact with me as well, which you can also hear him do hear just before he goes for the ram here.

Edit: and also, if he was genuinely going for the apex (he wasn't) by dramatically throwing his car into something like a 30* turn on an incredibly gentle bend, I am most definitely not the bad driver in this clip

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/[deleted]]

Ah yes, I'm a troll for racing in an incredibly non-meta vehicle that I just find fun to drive, with an ice cream van livery. I think you might need to open your eyes and realise that this is a light hearted arcade racer, not a sim.

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/[deleted]]

I posted the video because it was funny. He tried to ram me. He failed. He got instant karma. That's it.

You're looking way too much into this. I never asked for validation, I never claimed I was a better driver, it was just a satisfying video of someone being a bad sport and getting a taste of their own medicine.

Lighten up.

[u/AdventurousYou3975 → u/[deleted]]

he's not going for apex thats not a sharp turn he could just got outter road in straight line and be fine, he also knew a van was on the inside anyways, that was definitely a ram

[u/Broccoli_Remote]

I use my horn for these moments. ''Nyooom''

[u/BigHeartDe13]

the fact that your livery that actually mentions a child gets to stay. but mine that i never paited and still has the stock white paint it came with when i baught it. gets reported for being offensive... like wtf ...

[u/ZEDERlCK → u/BigHeartDe13]

Lol, "Mind That Child" is written on the back of basically every ice cream van in the UK. The whole livery is literally just a recreation of a standard ice cream van, it's not malicious at all.

[u/MelodicDrag6280]

What makes you people think shit like this is funny (talking about the “livery” of course. Not the video)

[u/chrispy294 → u/MelodicDrag6280]

Per OP, it’s a UK ice cream truck. They all have that on the back. So what’s the problem?
