I participated in some UKDirt F1 and F2 meetings.
In my opinion racing was undisciplined and without any respect to other drivers (especially newcomers). Although I could get some good points but it were not good meetings.
Sorry that I have to say but I rather spend my time with my wife or watch TV or racing in another league instead of getting bad mood.
Don´t know if this racing style is a special UKDirt problem ?
Whether it also looks at other mods or meetings I do not know so please do not get me wrong.
I would like to be convinced of the contrary and take part on more meetings in future when time allows.

your sounding a tad harsh there i think peppi. the racing has always been hard on newcomers to the leugue, whilst your new to the scene, other racers dont know or understand how you race, this isnt your fault its just it takes time for the people around you to adopt to your driving and for you to adopt to theirs.
most that have raced in ukdirt for a few years, do all know how we all like to race each otheri think. it was difficult for me when i started the league back in 2006, bumpers were flying, i dnf,d a few good times to the result of this till i understood what was going on with others and earnt the respect, got the good old fencing for no reason that sort of thing.
its your own personal style if you enjoy it or not, make it your own etc. you seem to go ok in saloons, i dont know about f1s or 2s. their different styles of driving for each mod. maybe you learn this and stick with it.
on the plus side i thought kings lynn was majestic last night, what a great nights racing even although MoR spun me 3 times. but theres no grudges hold MoR , thats pure and simple stockcars last night mistakes happen and you know when its meant or not so ill let you off lol.
i would have liked the tnt races to be at night and this maybe sorted for future meetings on the server side. we know kev is on holiday so no complaints on the new guys filling in.
i think everyone will agree also have to add the GN, where mav jnr was parked at turns 3&4, and the big train trying to pocket shot each car into the parked one lmao. that was mental
these races at the end are brilliant and add that relaxed but more racing feel to the night. roll on more tnt races.
thanks for the meeting.
I did not want to sound harsh but rather represent my experience here tosh
Perhaps other drivers (espacially newcomers) may think the same and have not write it down here because they are too cowardly ?!
And then perhaps portrayed as "soft egg" (as we say in german) if they say something here.
I just wanted to point out what might be one cause of few booking.
I agree with you that espacially F1 & F2 are strange to handle at the beginning. But that´s not what I wanted to say.
When my laptimes are bad, I let the faster guys pass on inside (like at the beginning of my real life racing) and try to follow them to learn etc.
But there are some drivers who don´t pass but even ruin everybodys race with big hits into the wall or fence. (do they do in real life ?)
I can remember that in the rulebook is a word named fairness ?!?
I would not make a big thing out of it only a note where some of you should think about.
HARD BUT FAIR, that´s what it should be because it´s fun not war ^^
Hope to see you soon on track ...
