Today was my first time to try online racing.  I was pretty amazed at the inconsiderate driving.  In quali I got smashed off the track by someone who ran some 30 yds wide and rejoined straight into me.

In the raced I was punted from the rear and rejoined 2nd from last.  I must admit I only got higher up the ladder as there was complete carnage a few corners before.     
And I also got the bad incident points.  I'll give it a few more days otherwise I pay $ to go somewhere where there is more etiquette and control.

Paddy, were you in the 2300 GMT race?
I was in that race. Didn't qualify too well, but wasn't too concerned because I was sure some 'incidents' would occur ahead to give me some easy places
I haven't been impressed with overall driving standards at all in the 3 races I've done so far(I'm new too), although some good drivers at the front, laptime wise anyway.
This race though, was quite tame to my other races . I really enjoyed it, and was scrapping for 5th 6th place a lot of the time. I did get nerfed at the first corner though near the end which didn't impress me at the time as I lost 3 places (got one back by the end), and I just had to enter a text at the end of the race, and was a bit impolite to the driver who hit me. He did apologise though, in text, so I cooled down very quickly and I think he just misjudged braking.. easy to do.
I think the key to these online races is be a lot more circumspect than you would be in real racing, even at the expense of laptime and a place maybe.. you normally get it back later.
There are a few idiots online for sure, and those who can't accept when they're beat, but I do have fun though :-) It is a game after all.
