After this race this driver got a LIFETIME ban from ACC..

[@jm-holm]

Update: The BMW driver was permanently suspended from LFM for creating a new account to circumvent a previous permanent suspension.

Are they IP tracking or how will they figure out his new accounts?

[@COYBIG1967]

Wow, really not good at all when ppl have been banned permanently twice

[@RatRacer]

It takes a special kind of immaturity to target someone even after they've let you retake a place. I always imagine these people are young angry teenagers just to keep my own faith in humanity.

[@patrickkleine9954]

Hope he gets a life time ban i see this very often lfm shout do more to this i thit said to lfm 3 or 2 reports 1 race exit for ever

[@carlkalman5479]

For an “E Sports” driver, and I’m using that term. very loosely, he drove like sh#te from the very start. Saying that, people like Rory, Super GT, Kie25 etc., in my opinion, do have a target on their backs as it will allow said immature individuals, their 10 to 20 minutes of “fame” by playing rough once they realise it races are streamed……Kimi Velocini is one that comes to mind.

[@johnmellott5570]

Kyle Bush maybe????

[@shorty808100]

[@Andino.]

Actually, you'll be surprised by the amount of grown ass fools that play this type of games in a dirty way

[@eddyn2]

That guy got permanently banned. Actually he was already banned from LFM on February 22 and made a second account. After the incident with Rory the LFM stewards have banned him again for unsportsmanlike conduct and for making the second account.

[@asheleydavies]

Yeah that squeeze off the track is a lifetime ban in my opinion

[@ronway6222]

I’m impressed by your attitude, Rory. You could have easily taken revenge, but you took the high road. That’s a reflection of your character and integrity. Keep it up, brother.

[@johngendron946]

I think he may have recognized you as a content creator. This was his way of gaining notoriety. Sorry you were trolled. Keep on making great content. I enjoy watching your channel and have been for quite some time. Your mental focus over the years has improved immensely. You don’t let these things phase you. Keep up the good work.

[@phomchuudimdam3976]

Your ability to remain calm in these situations blows my mind. I would have lost my s***. You're a credit to the community.

Wanna be like him?

[@hoodedcreeper2465]

Acc has definitely taught me anger management lol I've only had a wheel for a few months and I'm a bit off the pace (like 10 seconds) but if I get angry I try to drive very aggressively and can't keep the car on the track. Although sometimes I'll just go to Forza and and drive the racing semi and just start ramming cars 😂

[@sirsancti5504]

If you lose your head on him, you'd be the same piece of sh*t as him.

[@massmulu9203]

Met this guy like a week ago on a public server. Anyone who got close to him during the first lap, he deliberately crashed into and sent off the track.

[@KyokoKirigirie]

disgusting fucking behavior

What I dont underdtand IS how my SA id 40 and this guy's is above 80... Maybe I'm a cookie...

[@thabomazini4216]

If this are the type of drivers RGT has then it is completely embarrassing. Appalling sportsmanship and racing etiquette from this driver,

[@mallemout]

Yeah, I'd say this one warrants a report. I can imagine this one didn't feel nice at all. Seemed frustrating to say the least and that was in the earlier part where you had more speed but couldn't really get an overtake done due to damage. And then the carnage with the esports driver was yet to begin 😱Let's just hope the report has some success and you move on.

[@red-studio28]

This was really hard to watch. No words can describe my utter disgust at some driver's behavior.

[@richh9241]

That has put me in a rage just watching it. Report report report....

[@eedoamitay3341]

Truly one of the most shameful driving behavior I've seen on LFM, that was insane to watch live

[@carlkalman5479]

I started to wonder if it was an ACC incarnation of Kimi Velocini?

[@an-dt7129]

That was just horrendous behavior from anyone, let alone an eSports driver. This person went out of their way, letting others easily pass and braking just so Rory would be close enough, again, for them to literally wreck his car. I hope you were not the only one who reported that person

[@Malfoy95]

He started well, his initial dive bomb into the hairpin was textbook, and on the exit he was probs stuck in 8 tc for a while and you hit him which is completely on you but you let him by respectfully, from then on his actions were disgusting.

[@karlsmith8113]

Agreed, you can tell Rory had lost his composure with about ten minutes left, plain to see with the constant lip biting and nervous smile. The first half of the race as you say, was great! The other guys actions were disgusting

[@ATTACKofthe6STRINGS]

@@karlsmith8113 okay, the dive bomb was on Rory, then. This came up on my recommended feed, and I’m new to sim racing, so I’m still learning to recognize good and bad lines and such. I was actually super impressed with the dive bomb by the other guy, and wasn’t initially sure if the first hairpin was on Rory or not because the lunge was clean, and overtake was clean, but I didn’t know if maybe the guy not having power to accelerate on the exit was perhaps bad on the other guy, or a simple mistake, or what. However, almost everything I saw afterwards was on the BMW driver. That guy was absolutely targeting Rory. There is one more moment I’d love to learn about, though. The first time Rory and BMW go through the chicane, the BMW drove wide through the left hand turn, then slowly meandered back across the track to the left. Rory was headed to the outside of the upcoming chicane as well. However, I can’t tell if Rory has the space to cut inside when he does, and the BMW cuts inside at the same time after having gone from outside right to outside left of the track. Did Rory have the space to make that move? Was the other guy only cutting in to cut Rory off? Was it a combination of the two? Outside of that incident, everything else I saw was on the BMW. The one incident with the white car that clips Rory on the side I don’t even think was on him, as he already seemed like he was outside enough on that part that the white car would have had space on the inside to at least avoid contact. That said, I don’t think it was necessarily bad intent on the white car, just a mistake. I think the only reason Rory said he didn’t know where cars were coming from, there, was that he was already flustered from dealing with the BMW, and was so focused on not getting upset, and trying to make a clean pass, that he wasn’t expecting any contact on what should have otherwise been a clean corner.

[@chrismccombe6961]

Can I ask you say the Dive bomb was on Rory but while I agree going down the inside Is a race move the part I struggle with dive bombing just because the person forces there car there in the inside if they practically bring there car to a stand still surely they haven't made the move stick if you pull the Dive bomb off and carry some speed then fair enough. But why should the other driver have to yield space to the much slower car because the driver over pushed am I reading it wrong

[@razortec]

yes, you can't hit a slower car because you're faster. No matter what.

[@dathyr1]

That deranged guy was purposely slowing down and waiting for you to Ram you into the guardrails and that last time when your car was disabled. He was letting everyone by except you. He was definitely pissed off about something, and decided to take revenge on you the rest of the race until the final incident disabling your car. He should be reported and banned or suspended for his actions. He wasn't even trying to race, just after you. thanks for the video.

[@deankabasa]

impressed by how calm you were👏

[@nhsben5399]

The message post race was the icing on the cake

[@warboyrb]

You didn't review your 10:51 chicane banzai move. Cmon. But him getting a ban for that ram on the front straight-completely justified.

[@Slyngaa]

My point exactly 💯

[@obscurereference6298]

why did i get recommended a video in which a guy gets given the outside lane, dives to the inside (which is fine) the car moving to the right keeps moving to the right. dude from behind sticks it inside when the lane had closed. gets wrecked and reports the guy who did one move. take the outside that was given or realize the guy was moving right and back out.

[@skinnyergs]

Exactly, by the time he had overlap he was already in the pitlane

[@TheRacePig]

This guy doesn't deserve to be in a public lobby let alone LFM or god forbid an esports league. He should be a ban on sight guy, this kind of driving is despicable.

[@deadkey]

I dont know about that first situation earlier. He got a bad exit but Rory crashed into him... i dont know how that would be handled with the rules. 10:46 that was on Rory in my opinion. If I would be the BMW driver, I wouldnt have not expected that Rory would go for that move/dive and try to overtake. So, the BMW didnt even had a chance or time to give him space while turning in to that corner.

[@RiddleTime]

Yep, Rory had no rights to the corner as he completely overshot the corner and missed his braking point as well as not fully holding the brakes but instead trailing. That's what we call a divebomb.

[@fraserrostance3620]

I really like your attitude Rory, how the hell did that guy manage to get into the top split with such poor skills, keep up the great driving buddy👍🔥

[@danieldorn9989]

This guy has his own channel with 166 subs, last upload was 2 weeks ago. Guess he looked you up, got all frustrated and decided to take you out. In the end the only thing he has taken out was himself.

[@kin3tic271]

Please tell me you reported him. He will get lifetime ban for that

[@tharsgaard663]

He's not an actual 'esports' whatever , its just a team of his and his mates ( just search simgrid rgt esports) Report , include replay , timestamps , and the message , and if anyone else has had incidents with him , report , get people like this out of LFM

[@Marnick1999]

Although you could had backed out of that move in Degner 1 (you still had dirty tires). All the other moves are on him. The hairpin incident is just unlucky, he bogged down and you were so close behind him.

[@MegaCm123456]

He didn't bog down. He was slower out of the corner. He dive bombed (quite well) and had to make a sharper turn. There was zero reason to expect him to carry the same speed as the car taking a better line. This just shows the inexperience of the car being overtaken.

[@Valefor61]

I dont think he should back down on that move on denger 1, Rory still had the right to that corner. The hairpin though is totally on Rory, the bmw made a very good lunge, didnt miss the corner at all and he hit him from behind. The rest is the bmw being a stupid idiot.

[@VRacing]

Couple of times you did chop people off where I was holding my breath as you where turning in. The pass into the last chicane was a bit late to be honest. But all in all you drove clean. That guy was a maniac.

[@timrichmond5226]

Yeah I spotted that too, but it's not always easy to know where people have moved to after you make a manoeuvre in a tight spot.

[@paulospinola4472]

Maybe he got mad because of the dive you did on the last chicane around 10:47... why you left that out of the replay?

[@insanegymrat4837]

LFM gives you the tools to remove drivers like this.. Me like many others would be using it Rory for something like that, report him and get him banned.

[@animefan73]

16:39 - It's a make no wonder this guy couldn't accelerate out of the corner; 100% throttle before the apex with 8/10 TC. Throttle was cutting so hard the car couldn't get out of its own way.

[@HoboJR4]

11:10 is when you execute a perfect pit manuever like an american cop who missed his morning donut and coffee.

[@andrewtaylor6410]

What an absolute tool that guy was! No excuses for that behaviour. Though I have to admit I think his initial overtake was fine. There was a gap and he did the pass without any contact. Sure its late but you had committed to your line and there was gap, he also got to the apex first. Hes slow coming out the corner because he’s compromised his line for the overtake which is his right as at that point the track is his. You taking the normal line meant you had more exit speed but its always the cars behind responsibility not to make contact with the car in front. That said from that point the guy is beyond foolish, glad he got banned. Especially after you tried to do the right thing! Another great video Rory, well done for holding your dignity like a true Englishman!

[@bgis6409]

Thanks for saving me the frustration of even bothering , sad shit.

[@daviddavies3637]

Just rewatching some old videos. I searched for this guy in LFM's Discord server. Turns out he wasn't officially banned for this, although he was likely about to get banned for it anyway. It actually shows a problem that LFM seem to have had in policing their bans. He was banned for having previously been banned for the same offence eight months earlier and setting up another account to get around the ban. He had been reported for a couple of minor incidents in September of 2022 (this race was in October) but looks like his ban hadn't been noticed by LFM.

[@Not_A_Cat]

What an absolute muppet! He got butt-hurt over NOTHING and proceeded to act like a spoiled child having a tantrum.

[@joevogt6804]

Never heard of a lifetime ban from ACC. And this just resulted in a ban in LFM, and most obviously he got there already two "permanent" lifetime banns. If he's a cat, he still has some banns left...

[@serezha__trapecija]

Thx 4 time-codes, you save my time

The first bump where you asked if it were you, was clearly you. Your radar has 3 cars to the left and your just drove across them.

[@davidarmstrong2003]

Disgusting behaviour from a so called esport driver I understand him being slightly miffed for when you bumped him after he bogged down but you let him back through and his behaviour afterwards was disgraceful and a ban is well deserved for him !!

[@HeyItsEmilyLove]

I’ve had ACC for a while, but as an iRacer, it’s hard for me to spend time on anything other than it because I want to reach my goals there, but I think I’m going to do my first online ACC race soon. I’m a bit anxious about it though with some of the videos I’ve seen lol

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I'm the kind of guy who doesn't mind just a bit of bumping or rubbing, but to deliberately take you off the track like that? That is bad form, any way you look at it. And to keep your cool like that? Very nicely done. I honestly despise competitors like that who have s**t skills, and the only way they can deal with other competitors is to pull out something dirty like that.

[@bsrodeo7s]

@Rory, this is like a typical race for me on gt7. I get people that divebomb me, hit me wide, ram me. People have just become like little children! Your kids are probably more mature than these people! Good job at keeping your cool!

[@pwh__66]

I had this twice in iRacing. Didn’t report it the second time because they didn’t investigate my first report properly. Best to move on from it quickly.

[@snippidippi]

This happened me to for like two days ago on monza. I went from 75 to 64 SA after I.fellowes decided to use me as sidescraper/bumper car and crash me out as soon as he could. I even left him so much space last time that I had 2 wheels in the sand but yet he decided to wreck me out and didn't even say sorry in chat or nothing. Told everyone else in chat but he was quiet...destroyed my SA and my day.

[@M3guy100]

Have to admit this made me laugh but fair play for your attitude Rory,reason why i sub m8

[@EvgeniySlipchik]

Hello there mate. Im esports caster in that region. And to be fair... I know that as of late its maybe tough to perceive some of our racers from our country (specifically) as honest and decent ones. I know that there are many many decent drivers. Top esports ones, low splitts ones and so on. Im TERRIBLY SORRY for him, for at least the last incident of start-finish straight. Thats unacceptable. Some other incidents - mhm... Some of it are kinda race incidents. Dirty maybe and sloppy, but... Happens anytime anywhere with everybody. Not so good and all of it needs much better racecraft, but still. BUT the last one is out of anything that can be 'racing'. I done some talking with him today. I hope that he understands what he have done and will never do this again. Will it be regional racing servers, local ones, or international ones (which LFM are).

[@b9bot148]

Well that message made it easy to get his name into ACC for the ban, that's for sure.

[@gav86coo]

Oh my, where to start with that one… firstly well done for keeping your cool, lord knows I would have struggled. Secondly that is a report every day of the week. Most of the time, yeah it was a bad move/ incident where you could debate a report or not. This is malicious. This is supposed to be a platform for people who want to race in real cars but wasn’t born with a diamond encrusted dummy in their mouth. This platform is about serious attempts to bring real racing into a digital world. No respect for the platform, they don’t belong on it. Well done to you though Rory. An inspiration as always.

[@andysaphcozi8619]

Shame that because at the beginning was some really close racing. Good job on keeping your calm with this e sports 😂😂 racer... Shocking behaviour from him, clearly targeted you after not being able to make his move stick. Deserves the life time ban in my opinion.. Had a few of these idiots myself on ACC, I didn't realise you could report them... I only try to enter 70 and above races now, to keep the idiots out.. Doesn't always work though... Great videos n keep up the good work pal. 👍👍👌

[@wagz79]

U did right mate👌sure u tapped him but re addressed , he's just a tool.

[@chaaaater67]

TBF the hit in the hairpin was your fault u couldve lifted the gas again imo if u are smart , like always count on the fault from others. 2nd the divebomb from him was his mistake bc he was with slipstream too late on the brakes so obviously he is slow in that corner and exit ;) . 3rd: the 2nd divebomb at last chicane couldve been seen from miles away so another smart move you couldve done is leave the door open and take over at the exit of chicane. and the pushing oftrack from him at start finish line couldve been avoided too from u just lift gas and steer left . and tbh u divebombed him in last chicane at 10:47 in the race too bc u lifted the brakes 1 time so u were in some cases at fault too. i am not justifying his bad driving , cause he DID drive bad and made alot mistakes, BUT you couldve driven smarter and avoided alot of that and did some mistakes too. i do agree with some here that he should get a hefty penalty for driving recless but you did some mistakes too and couldve avoided alot. anyway nice video

I hope, my team would remove drivers like that as this has nothing to do with any values you actually need to compete in any contest. If one is this sour, he or she should drive against the AI and never vs other humans. Just gotta love those 13 year old all pro‘s who stand above all things 🤣 Great Job that you kept your cool, I can‘t handle shit like that and I would‘ve just pit and let it slide. I want to relax and have a good time while driving, not be the punching ball for a bitter little kid with an anger management problem.

[@lilguydoingit]

He can't handle the frustration of racing online. His race started with 2 crashes in the first 3 corners, the last one got him a spin and a trip to the grass. Maybe you rejoining the track after the spin, and then his semi spin in the hairpin just triggered him. Life tends to do this usually. Now he can start a new account and take it from the beginning - maybe next time he will think twice before acting like a child.... maybe not!

[@rdestevao1441]

Would love to see the replay from other perspective on 10:47, not very clear stuff...

[@zillinger]

It really is a popular online gaming issue that somebody who decides to have beef with you can totally ruin your game. At the point you realise it is personal either pull the plug or try and devise a tactic to make it so they cannot get near you. Sucks for sure that they cant just play the game how it is ment to be. The dude deserves a ban.

[@adamor32]

It's because of people like him that make people like me to not touch this game again. Also just because Esport is in the name does not mean he is a high tear esports driver. It's the Internet so you can be anyone you want to be

[@skaylars]

This'll become a common thing as kids get easy access to gaming computers, consoles and such. Thinking they are pro because they were born with a mouse and keyboard or controller.

I hate folks like that and especially the ones that wait till the last lap to start messing u up

[@amc_sounds]

At first and second view I thought your recovery was a bit suspect, but it really wasn't looking at it again here. The hair-pin is a simple racing incident, no blame on anyone. The rest is complete shenanigans from him, and then, the killer self-imposed idiocy of admitting he caused a crash on purpose. If that's not a lifetime ban, I'm not sure what is. Lunacy. Some folks have said you should have gone left on the straight or held back and tried again. The very fact he admits to causing a collision indicates he would have done it any means possible, then or later.

[@crackerj-2250]

I don't understand people like that...... we get on here to race clean and have fun but it's very hard with people like that

[@seanberry1]

The thing about racing for a team, as opposed to racing independently, is that you not only make yourself look like an idiot, you bring your whole team into disrepute. RGT Esports need to take a long, hard look at their driver roster and decide if they want to look like a professional team, or a loose collection of spoilt, self-entitled children.

If I was you i wouldn't have tried to pass him on the right side. He was clear he was squeezing you. You had the time to break and move to the left. He was an ass, but you could have avoided it. You kept pushing. You looked at the chat while he was moving to the right. You were supposed to stay in the left

[@b9bot148]

Yea, glad he got a total ban for that move. That was absolutely a broadside to toss you into the guard rail.
