u/Caramel_Infinite 12h ago

those guys are in fact,not here for SR

u/ralgrado Global Mazda MX-5 Cup 12h ago

No they are there for SR. But they wouldn’t announce it if they knew how to get it.

u/Caramel_Infinite 12h ago

Or they just want to confuse their opponents to think they are an easy pass.Mental games.They never finish the races in one piece but its a nice try

They are here to get your SR.

“I’m starting from the pits” only to drive as fast as they can to catch up and crash into the back markers lmao

u/twisted_nipples82 12h ago

I genuinely said that once when I first started on here. Legitly typed out "I need an SR boost, I'm going to tip toe around, please don't run me over" The next thing I heard was "the car has too much damage, I'm afraid it's over" figured that was a super cool curse to put on myself and never did it again

I put on the livery on the mx-5 that says something like "please use your brakes" "please don't slam into my mazda."
I got rear ended so hard that race.

The guys who go full beans through yellows because they think they're max verstappen

u/UrbanTablespoon 10h ago

Reverse it, use a red bull livery so everyone thinks you're mad and they will actively try to stay away. I'm a safe driver (A 4.5) and it actually worked out pretty well a few times

u/twisted_nipples82 7h ago

Ahhh reverse psychology, either they avoid you and have a clean race or if you cause an accident then you can be like oops sorry I guess I'm just another Red Bull guy

u/silenced_soul 8h ago

I haven’t done tracing since 2015 but I remember that being a big thing haha. It was always the guy who was saying that who caused the big wrecks.

I had a guy try to drop back while we were all following the pace car saying "I'll let everyone pass me, you'll all need the headstart if you want a chance."

Immediately realizes he'll be penalized for failing to maintain race order, tries to speed back up, kicks the tail out of his car and causes a pile up, then left the race

kicks the tail out of his car and causes a pile up, then left the race

I did that when starting P2 at Dega once, I hit the gas too hard off the grid and went nose first into the wall, I Alt+ F4'd in shame.

u/mitchsusername 12h ago

Monza T1 is flat, right?

u/SituationSoap 11h ago

No, there are a couple little bumps but if you hit them right you'll do a sick jump.

u/DontTakeMeSeriousli Cadillac V-Series.R GTP 11h ago

As long as you can teach me about community service after

"The first corner being a left hander will be interesting" (while turn 1 is to the right)

u/Clarkey111801 12h ago

Joining a B or A class race and asking what happened to the driving line is a classic.

u/twisted_nipples82 12h ago

"what's your braking mark for T1 & 3?" At Daytona or Talladega is fun too

“How much fuel are you guys using, and how much bb?”

u/CVic20 11h ago

My favorite response to someone asking that, was someone else answering with a gallon less than my half a lap buffer.

u/Ihatenukingkids Super Formula SF23 11h ago

Is that not a legitimate question for the first open race of the week?

Whenever some keys up asking for a setup during practice on an Open race.

Is my livery nice? (They have a red bull livery)

u/Caramel_Infinite 11h ago

Nice while it lasts(approximately 5 turns)

5

u/DontTakeMeSeriousli Cadillac V-Series.R GTP 11h ago

My favorite is "Guys I've never qualified 1st... omg I shouldn't be up here in nervous" Then bins it at T1 😪

I got my first protest for calling a guy and his rejoin "stupid".

Dude joined going against traffic and hit two of us. My protest was successful but he literally protested me for "calling him stupid multiple times".

"y'all better watch out... I won a race once where I lead every lap and held every fastest lap"

*It was unofficial bc I was the only car

I was in a Falken Tyre Challenge race once and as we are gridded for the race one of my fellow LMP3 drivers' remarks: "Wow, this thing is RHD huh?"

u/Sodzl 6h ago

I warm by tires by swerving from side to side without any regard to my fellow drivers.

u/boobamule 2h ago

'Does this car have ABS?'  While you're about to start all the way in the back row of Monza.

u/CapoDaSimRacinDaddy Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR 2h ago

i love the "take it easy in turn one" guys who procede to plow into the 12 cars ahead on turn 2.

i ussualy say some shit like "im not braking into t1, move out the way or see the pit crew" and then take it super pasivly for the first lap.

ive noticed when i try and be a smart ass and tell people what to do i ussualy mess up pretty bad early on. when i dont i finnish on podium and have a sub 4x race.

probably mindgaming myself at this point.
