Deliberately Taken Out By The Strangest Account on iRacing!

Intentionally dropping iRating and intentionally wrecking. That surely needs to be a perma ban.

The weird thing is he's been on iRacing since 2015, maintained his A license since he got it doing hundreds of races. A typical clean racer looking at the stats. Then all of a sudden in July this year he lost his mind, tanked his iRating, wrecked the leader. The good news is he's not been racing since.

[@Barbosa81]

There's no permanent ban on Iracing unfortunately. They rather keep getting the subscription money from the person

[@kartdodger]

The first part looked like he might've tried to cut back onto the racing line and didn't realise he hadn't cleared you yet. The second part was absolutely deliberate though and absolutely needs reporting.

He came through the crash at the start so i would of assumed that would of been the best time to tank iRating? he seemed to slow down and drive through the massive wreck. He lost his composure after the slight turn in when ollie hadnt seen him coming and was driving on the racing line and then poor driving to put both of them in the wall. Which id assume he thought was Ollie's fault, hence the intentional hit after and the use the mirrors reply to Ollie. Id say it was more of a rage moment. But it is odd that he was 4K not long ago.

[@djsxpointed1544]

We won the Monza 24hour last weekend, and the car that we were battling for first for over 5 hours, had someone with 0 iRating on a 2nd account, he lost 700 iRating in the last 2 weeks beforehand. His main account was 2.7k. He started races, but never turned a lap. The whole lobby of over 30 cars were against them, and turned towards us to beat them for the win. One car netcoded into them, and ended up wrecking them out of the race for the win. Let's just say that he probably received a report from every single person in the lobby. It's quite embarrassing people trying to do it. 100% he's tanking it for the Spa 24hour.

[@brianeast9081]

My friends came across a dude using a tanked smurf account in the Monza 24 Hour race on the weekend. The dude was 2.7k on his main account and started a smurf account 4 days before the race, got the SR to where he was eligible then tanked the iRating all the way to 0 so he and his 2 teammates (both above 3k) could get the easy win in the lower split. However, they managed to piss off the entire server and it was made sure they didn't win, but my mates got the win.

So the odd thing here, is how he's been deliberately tanking his irating (i assume to qualify in a split for Spa 24 that his team would win) and then do something that would draw attention.

There's not much in the initial accident, I think if you stayed to the left it woulda been fine, that being said It probably only slowed him down by .2 of a second, not sure why he moved over into you once he was just about to get past, all a bit weird really.

[@doug_vickers]

I can never understand incidents like the one that happened in the mirror at the start. Why do people never slow down when everyone is crashing in front of them? As for the one from your new best friend, because of the wobble he probably thought you were trying to crash him so he retaliated to what he thought was happening. It definitely looks like he is deliberately tanking his irating for some reason.

[@gaborn8871]

He deliberately knocks out the first driver and then makes sure and goes for you again. Perhaps an aggrieved driver who failed a similar race when he was knocked out of first place and his protest was dismissed by iRacing. There is no excuse for this, it should be a definitive IP and MAC ban, but it is true that iRacing does not handle protests properly, I have been knocked out of the lead three times in the last few weeks, even on the last lap and my protest was rejected in vain. What I also think is wrong with iRacing is that they only warn drivers who deliberately cause an accident, I think everyone would be more careful if they had a penalty for those who ruin other people's races, whether deliberately or accidentally

[@runofthemillz]

Kind of a random question : which class of IMSA would you recommend to someone that doesn’t do a ton of road or is the more beginner friendly class?

[@trentnolan8982]

Thats tricky, and depends on your goals. Ultimately, I think you'll be best off picking whatever seems most appealing to you. Conventional wisdom will say that the GT3 is the most beginner friendly, being lowest speed and the driver assists... but getting passed by a faster class is scarier and harder to deal with than passing in a faster class. LMP2 is one of the best driving cars on the service, and if you're looking to develop road racing skill and have a rewarding driving experience, its perhaps the best for that. That being said, its the least popular class and often times all of the LMP2 entries get dumped into the highest split, so if you're a lower iR driver this could be intimidating. Also, you have to deal with passing a slower class and being passed by a faster class. LMDh Is good fun, I'd say the caddy is more forgiving than the bmw, but both are very fast, so an error is more likely to cost you. You do have the benefit of being the fastest class on the track, so you wont spend as much time worrying about what is coming up from behind.

[@runofthemillz]

@@trentnolan8982 thanks for the long thought out response! We did the Glen in LMP2 and things went okay other than getting wrecked by a LMDH. Was quite intimidating having to pass and also be passed both so i think for the upcoming race we’re gonna try the gt3 class and see how that goes

I get that he might not have liked you doing that little jink to the left but you were trying to get out of his way, as he was committed to the inside and you both saw it was going to end badly. You didn't move in reaction as the time between the movements is so small no human could react that quickly. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that he just misjudged where you were or it could be some netcode but the deliberate ram and also not holding his brakes and nearly taking out p2 spinning back onto the track is just shameful. Also how is a 0.3K IR driver allowed in the LMP2 cars and is he trying to tank for Spa 24 and win bottom split, like that is like if Verstappen raced against 10 year olds like it takes the fun out of it and if he is just trying to get a win its pathetic you need to drop down to the lowest split just to win

Ultimately, it's his job to avoid a collision, not yours. You did all you had to do. Checking mirrors is fine but it's still not down to you to change your driving to accommodate him even if you saw him unless you're getting a blue flag because, even though it's multiclass, you're still treated as being in the same race. The guy needs an instaban for being a twat.

First part was poor driving by him. Been in a Le Mans 24 mid split LMP1 winning team. You can’t just cut across the front before you’ve cleared the car you are passing.

So in my opinion he lost control when you went right and he need to go left to dodge you, he was coming hot and that sudden change made him lose rear grip ending in that lateral collision.

[@cptlatency428]

I disagree, when you look at his wheel input he steers to the right into Ollie, if he had lost control of the rear he would have been counter steering to the left, or would have had his wheel straight In my opinion he got annoyed by Ollie not noticing him approaching and not sticking to one side of the track, he then couldn't control his anger and wrecked Ollie and himself
