I think the red mist kind of kicks in during the race some times. I know I screwed up and punted Andrew after a good chase, all my fault. Limped around to the pits for the fast fix. Then a few laps later hit a curb and over I went but landed on the wheels so I kept going, car a little screwy after that.
So how can iRacing get everything else so right and yet have the cars flip when hitting a curb?

Agree, as a group we learn how each other drives and learns where someone turns in, brakes etc and it becomes a strategy when and how to make a move. When you don't know someone you have to give up so much as you brake sooner move farther off line and it just makes it harder overall.

The field is much closer and much tighter now than it was when the league started. It does look like the back of the pack is still a bit of a cluster... though I still say it's not as bad as it used to be.
We've all gotta work on having patience at the start. Give everybody room. Better to lose a spot or two at the start than to dive-bomb, charge hard, and take yourself (or someone else) out completely. Unless you are SURE you're ahead of the guy you just pulled alongside, you should probably assume he's immediately next to you. This is especially true for the guys with the single monitors who don't have as much peripheral. Be sure you're clear. And for the guys with triples, realize the guy next to you might not have triples, he might not be able to see you. Be deliberate in your passes and intentions and make sure they can see you and tell what you're going to do.
Be cool, honey bunny.

Agreed.
If we know who each other are, we know who we can push, who we can't push, who will run away if you don't stay on them, and who will probably crash themselves out. ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

I know thought I had a great start, 9th to 4th in the first corner by taking the inside. They really need to fix the game when it flips you, got a little nudge in 5 from behind nothing major and the car flips. Spend 2 minutes in the pits, come out 17th, but I worked myself back up to 8, was really happy with that.

Jim can you take a look at the replay, would be really interested in what you think. I thought it was a safe move as everyone tracks out right, but like you said only my perspective from one car.

I don't have the replay stuff handy here. I'd be happy to take a look when I get home this evening if you'd really like me to.
Speaking of tonight - anybody down for a practice? We're at Road Atlanta next right?

For the record, I wasn't implying anything - I was just going off of what you said and making a statement for the broader audience. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I had a pretty good race too last night. Some stuff started making sense in my head and I picked up the pace a lot. Watching the replay I realized I punted Bobby I believe, going into Gurney Bend. Sorry about that.
I also had a weird incident on the last lap. In T7, just after Gurney Bend, my right wheels went on the curb and as I accelerated, the car flipped over. I did come back down on my wheels and finished without losing a position (in the points!). I know Sysgen mentioned the same happened to him once on the same corner. I don't if its me or the sim.
