The WORST Type Of Driver On iRacing!

Glad you can see his name one to watch out for! There is a certain E sports driver that on his smuf account is bloody awful! Like you know it’s intentional pushing you off the track etc but he knows can get away with it! Then have a look on his stream and he’s just laughing about it with his vc buddy’s! I’m surprised iRacing let people get away with it and honestly think they know it happens but because he’s like a top E sports driver they turn a blind eye

I'm relatively new to iRacing, but even I was shocked, how many drivers unsafely return to track after incidents in iRacing, not only the bad ones, but also some of those with high licences and iRating...

[@jangamer2971]

Just happened to me. I was about to get up in my license and this guy decides to go in the middle of the track while we are arriving at 200km/h. People can't f*ckin drive

The next race worked out amazing though, well done guys

[@fredscratchet1355]

That looked intentional to me. He had a bad race and decided to take a few with him.

[@samdajellybeenie14]

I can't imagine it wasn't intentional! Like Ollie said, the guy had pace. You don't get to 3k iRating by accident. He really should be banned from the service indefinitely for driving like that.

[@DanMorera]

Am I the only one more surprised about the amount of "damage" these cars are taking and they are still able to drive them to the pits? What are you doing differently? I get barely hit and I have to tow.

[@scottstephens76]

WOWWWWW - That's some special driving right there. I hope that this team or drivers has been reported. Its a shame that iR's judicial system doesn't stamp down harder on drivers that operate like this and get rid of the pathetic drivers, especially from some top level events.

[@JapanCustomTours]

@iWrap eSports - I was thinking some more about this today - one driver might be and issue, but this is a 24h race and the guy has team-mates. Either they, as a team, endorse this appalling behavior, or they should never drive with this guy again.

[@meeners6433]

[@GoldenRetrevFam]

I'm going to say something that I know a lot of you think quietly to yourself but well, you know. I really do try to avoid racers from Latin countries. In my opinion they are extremely aggressive and loose drivers. The video you posted is a prime example of a Latin driver that isn't really thinking. Yes he is from a Latin country (Kiko Santos). Enough said, you all get the idea and have had the idea and experiences I'm talking about.

[@tippersimracing6070]

I 100% agree, I got suspended for making this point to a Spanish guy who took me out in a Mazda race while I was leading at Spa. I have to say this but its true, why do you think Latin drivers rarely do well in F1? Heck Alonso got beaten by Lewis Hamilton in Lewis rookie year. And I am myself half Maltese which is around the Latin area so I feel I can say this from my own experience. To much emotional driving, not enough logical thought process.

[@MTLoveridge]

I had these sorts of drivers in my split. And they were a lot worse. One team took out 10 teams with their unparalleled driving behaviour.

[@brotherben7087]

Looks like the only reason they joined was to ruin other teams races. Absolute joke of a 3K driver. Congrats on the second race

Did you protest this guy and did you get a response from iracing? I had a person intentionally wreck me and confess as much in chat. I think he got of with just a warning from iracing response to my protest. I think they need to be a little harder on this type of behaviour. I’m amazed that he was a 3k driver his overtaking skills where so poor.

[@glenwatkins732]

I've stopped reporting people for intentional wrecking Iracing is piss poor and does nothing about it. I've only ever reported 3 ppl, all for intentional wrecking people that was very clear to see and could not be mistaken for poor racecraft/mistakes, Iracing has done nothing about it so I don't bother wasting my time. I do laugh that they give people a chat ban for swearing yet you can purposely crash ppl and it's all good. Speaking about 3k drivers all 3 instances these guys were 3k too lol 😆

Not sure if somebody that drives like that and already has countless hours in iRacing (you need SR to get into LMP1) will change their behaviour anytime soon. In my opinion a driver like that should be permabanned - it's good for the service and the other drivers and this knobhead can go play GT or Forza where their driving style is probably higher than standard.

[@sv650scotty]

I’m thinking the same! IRacing only do something if they cut the track to intentionally wreck someone, even then it’s a 1 week holiday. I locked the brakes t2 RBR and it snapped sideways which caused my car to touch they guy on the inside of me, he thought I did it on purpose of course and decided half way down the next long straight to literally T bone me and take us both out of the race, I protested with 3 different clips of on boards and chase cam so you can see our inputs and clearly see me try to steer away and off the track when it locked, then see the other guy ease off the throttle down the straight to let me along side half way down then go full lock into me! IRacing agreed it was intentional and my locking up was not etc then said he would be dealt with accordingly, I kept an eye on his account hand he never stopped racing for the next couple of months! So they just gave him a warning for intentional wrecking! Lmao what a joke

[@BrotakuDon]

@@sv650scotty I was in a lobby with a guy who jumped the lights and just kept driving ( I presume to try and race ahead of the entire grid to minimize their penalty.) They ended up binning the lead car on the last turn. Then, in a lobby a bit later the exact same person did the exact same thing again. I reported them and their response was "They were already given a penalty by the game for jumping the start".....not a problem to them at all that the entire grid had to run lap 1 behind the P13 car carrying a 40 second black flag penalty and trying to undermine the rules. As good as the service is in a lot of ways its ultimately all a joke....and an obscenely expensive joke at that.

[@JesterDarrak]

I want to remind all of you that not everyone has a full working team behind the driver at work. BRT has quite a few people at their disposal to make sure no one makes any grave mistakes, spot cars and even remind them what to do or not to do in high-stress situations. Heck, there's even a weird German clocking in throughout the night that's mostly just there to talk to chat and the driver to keep spirits and awareness at the highest possible level. Unfortunately we don't know the full story, only our side and I would hope the driver shown in this video would take this as a chance to apologize and explain himself.

As painful as this may be, I don't for a second believe it to be malicious... it's moronic sure, and they should be told to straighten up by iracing. When you make a massive mistake like this your brain turns off and you just want to get to the pits or across the road. I've seen this hundreds of times. I hope you encourage your audience to not harass this driver. Edit : i just wanted to add, intelligence is a blessing. It's important in life to remember not everyone is the same. As well literal children play iracing as well as physically and mentally disabled. The rules need to be followed no matter the situation but it can help put things in perspective when unbelievable things like this happen.

So now I’m going to talk to you about what happened, first of all, as you can see from my profile, I’m a rally driver, both in terms of simulators and in real life, I joined iracing relatively recently, I’m in a phase, where certainly you are too you had, the learning phase, unfortunately I don’t have a triple screen, which makes life difficult for me in these types of situations! I use the Relative slider, and when I looked at it it was already too late, as an experienced driver you are, you know that the Lmp1 is a very fragile car, and a small touch can cause you to not be able to turn the car, which is what it happened! I really apologize for what happened to your team! It wasn’t intentional, let’s be clear!

[@Alex-kp2db]

If your a noob you should'nt have been in this race. You didnt even know where you were on the track. You have to practice.

[@kikosantos487]

In the second accident that you insist on showing the world, after losing the car and crashing into the GTE, once again I got the steering wheel broken, my idea was to cross the grass so as not to spoil the race for someone again, my teammate who was spottering me, told me not to cross that we would be penalized a lot, and that the best thing was to go back to the track, I reached a point of disorientation and frustration, after all the incidents, that I didn’t know if you want where it was! There was a bad communication again with my spotter, he was telling me what to do, and as I was I ended up doing everything in reverse, ending up giving another bad rejoin and ruining the race to Lmp2 which happened to be the same team than mine! Well, with all this, I apologize once again and thank you for please remove the video from KZbin! Nobody is born knowing everything and life is a constant learning process, hugs and good races!

[@ChristopherBrown0073]

The only reason you're apologizing now is because of this video....you and your team said NOTHING after the incidents you caused....no apology what so ever...and you continued with your piss poor driving after wiping Ollie out....so suck it up and deal....people like you need to be spotlighted, and banned.

[@ttr_benson7432]

Hey Kiko - Ill introduce myself, I am the man that you happened to take out in said 24hours of Daytona. Whilst trying to be completely respectful I must say your lack of competence and track awareness was absolutely abysmal. We're 8 hours into a race and you decide to pull onto the track in a completely unthoughtful manner and completely destroy our race - Not only that you made us waste 8 hours that we could of spent with our families or partners. Singling Ollie out "because he is well-known" us unfair I think 99% of people would of done the same thing. I think you possibly need to take a little look at how you are approaching races and your competence on track - We were not the only team you destroyed because of your utter disregard for people around you. Some of us in the sim racing community take sim racing extremely seriously and spend a lot of time and hours, away from our families & commitments to compete with the best people on the game only for people like you to ruin it. You mention in a comment above you are a real life rally driver and the LMP1 cars being fragile - iRacing / rally / oval / road is absolutely irrelevant to your behaviour on track and of course its going to be fragile when you have an LMP2 smashing your sides in at 300KPH..... Take a step back and sort your shit out my friend.

[@GoBigRed]

He absolutely has the right to have your name included and I'm glad he did. iRacing is a public racing forum and actions have consequences. I read your other post on here blaming your lack of experience and learning for these transgressions however there are thousands of others who have both a lower rating than you as well as newer that easily avoid the types of issues you seemingly consistently have. Take accountability, look in the mirror and be better.
