Assetto Corsa Round 3 Knockhill

The vote during Quali was unacceptable and very off putting IMO. If this was a genuine mistake then I hope the person who did it puts an apology on here soon. If this was a malicious attempt to get someone disqualified from an event then i feel the administrators, if possible, should find out who did it and "have a word".
Qualifying started with me having dumb arse moment at the second corner where i managed to take Ken out, which i have already apologised for and will do again now. Sorry Ken.

As for my race i started from 6th and gained 1 place before the first corner, then after the chicane i think it was Yusuf who made a slight mistake and i was able to get passed him to 4th. Really pleased the plus 650 laps off practice were now paying off i settled into a nice calm rhythm braking at places i wasnt doing through practice in order to maintain my position and settle in. I was watching the gap behind me grow slowly and was making minimal mistakes until i came across the back markers who certainly didnt make it easy considering they were getting blue flags. They were still very much engrossed in their own race and were slowing me down so the gap infront to Frans was increasing. Rather than panic about this i decided to bide my time and wait for a safe pass. I managed to get passed Lucas some time between turn 2 & 3 (i think) and went through the chicane quite normally when for some bizarre reason he decided to cut the chicane completely then run into the side of me and take me into the gravel. Absolutely disgusting behavior and reminds me of public server wreckers to be honest. This was indefensible from him when looking at the replay he was cutting the chicane most of his laps. I really want to be swearing at this part of the post but i will keep it clean.
Anyway rather than give up i decided to thrash on, admittedly with a little red mist, but thrash on i did and started my quest to try and close the gap to the positions i had lost. So imagine my surprise when i came out of the fast right hander to find Ken recovering from a spin he had. Eyes were popping out of my head and i couldnt do anything to avoid hitting him so now i experienced the grass for the first time during the race. It took me a little time to recover and i almost gave up in all honesty but i thought about our team and said come on chunk you can still get points out of this. So the red mist was now a distinct shade of scarlet.
I then started my quest once again and was doing my best to keep improving my times until i made a mistake at turn 1 and ended up on the grass. This was entirely my fault but at this time it seemed that not only all of the cars from this race but all of the cars from the previous 2 races were coming past because it took me ages to get back on the track, but this is life and you cant change that!!
So i completed the race setting my best time during this period which was better than my qualifying time during which i managed to have some clean battles with other competitors.
Nothing i or anyone can do about the result now because Lucas didnt even stick around after the race had finished to apologise not that it would have been accepted. So possibly my potential best result had been screwed up and with the standard of competitors on this event it will be difficult for me to get into this position again.
So over 700 laps at Knockhill come to an end and we move on to Vallelunga.
I really hope the admins do something about the incident as Ken witnessed it himself and he assures me that it will be looked into.
See you at the next round guys.

Chris I noticed that they tried to kick you I don't now why maybe someone pushed button trying to watch you as I was watching but didn't vote to kick you hahaha so I'm clear see you next rd

 

I wasn't there, but seen the vote to kick in AC many times.

It isn't like rf2 where you click on somebody and then click on "kick"

In AC it is just a small symbol next to the drivers name, and very usually it is the case of a 'newbie' doing a "what does this button do".

Maybe qualifying wasn't the best time to try it, and the result log will show who clicked it, but my guess is there was no bad intention - maybe.

 

It wasn’t me that was selected it was Tim
