It takes a special kind of immaturity to target someone even after they've let you retake a place. I always imagine these people are young angry teenagers just to keep my own faith in humanity.
For an “E Sports” driver, and I’m using that term. very loosely, he drove like sh#te from the very start. Saying that, people like Rory, Super GT, Kie25 etc., in my opinion, do have a target on their backs as it will allow said immature individuals, their 10 to 20 minutes of “fame” by playing rough once they realise it races are streamed……Kimi Velocini is one that comes to mind.
@@carlkalman5479 kie25 is one of those immature people were talking about lmfao it's not just teenager's/kid's its overgrown manchirdren as well like kie
That guy got permanently banned. Actually he was already banned from LFM on February 22 and made a second account. After the incident with Rory the LFM stewards have banned him again for unsportsmanlike conduct and for making the second account.
I think he may have recognized you as a content creator. This was his way of gaining notoriety. Sorry you were trolled. Keep on making great content. I enjoy watching your channel and have been for quite some time. Your mental focus over the years has improved immensely. You don’t let these things phase you. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I'd say this one warrants a report. I can imagine this one didn't feel nice at all. Seemed frustrating to say the least and that was in the earlier part where you had more speed but couldn't really get an overtake done due to damage. And then the carnage with the esports driver was yet to begin 😱Let's just hope the report has some success and you move on.
I’m impressed by your attitude, Rory. You could have easily taken revenge, but you took the high road. That’s a reflection of your character and integrity. Keep it up, brother.
He started well, his initial dive bomb into the hairpin was textbook, and on the exit he was probs stuck in 8 tc for a while and you hit him which is completely on you but you let him by respectfully, from then on his actions were disgusting.
Agreed, you can tell Rory had lost his composure with about ten minutes left, plain to see with the constant lip biting and nervous smile. The first half of the race as you say, was great! The other guys actions were disgusting
@@karlsmith8113 okay, the dive bomb was on Rory, then. This came up on my recommended feed, and I’m new to sim racing, so I’m still learning to recognize good and bad lines and such. I was actually super impressed with the dive bomb by the other guy, and wasn’t initially sure if the first hairpin was on Rory or not because the lunge was clean, and overtake was clean, but I didn’t know if maybe the guy not having power to accelerate on the exit was perhaps bad on the other guy, or a simple mistake, or what. However, almost everything I saw afterwards was on the BMW driver. That guy was absolutely targeting Rory. There is one more moment I’d love to learn about, though. The first time Rory and BMW go through the chicane, the BMW drove wide through the left hand turn, then slowly meandered back across the track to the left. Rory was headed to the outside of the upcoming chicane as well. However, I can’t tell if Rory has the space to cut inside when he does, and the BMW cuts inside at the same time after having gone from outside right to outside left of the track. Did Rory have the space to make that move? Was the other guy only cutting in to cut Rory off? Was it a combination of the two? Outside of that incident, everything else I saw was on the BMW. The one incident with the white car that clips Rory on the side I don’t even think was on him, as he already seemed like he was outside enough on that part that the white car would have had space on the inside to at least avoid contact. That said, I don’t think it was necessarily bad intent on the white car, just a mistake. I think the only reason Rory said he didn’t know where cars were coming from, there, was that he was already flustered from dealing with the BMW, and was so focused on not getting upset, and trying to make a clean pass, that he wasn’t expecting any contact on what should have otherwise been a clean corner.
Can I ask you say the Dive bomb was on Rory but while I agree going down the inside Is a race move the part I struggle with dive bombing just because the person forces there car there in the inside if they practically bring there car to a stand still surely they haven't made the move stick if you pull the Dive bomb off and carry some speed then fair enough. But why should the other driver have to yield space to the much slower car because the driver over pushed am I reading it wrong
This guy has his own channel with 166 subs, last upload was 2 weeks ago. Guess he looked you up, got all frustrated and decided to take you out. In the end the only thing he has taken out was himself.
Met this guy like a week ago on a public server. Anyone who got close to him during the first lap, he deliberately crashed into and sent off the track.
Acc has definitely taught me anger management lol I've only had a wheel for a few months and I'm a bit off the pace (like 10 seconds) but if I get angry I try to drive very aggressively and can't keep the car on the track. Although sometimes I'll just go to Forza and and drive the racing semi and just start ramming cars 😂
This guy doesn't deserve to be in a public lobby let alone LFM or god forbid an esports league. He should be a ban on sight guy, this kind of driving is despicable.
That was just horrendous behavior from anyone, let alone an eSports driver. This person went out of their way, letting others easily pass and braking just so Rory would be close enough, again, for them to literally wreck his car. I hope you were not the only one who reported that person
That deranged guy was purposely slowing down and waiting for you to Ram you into the guardrails and that last time when your car was disabled. He was letting everyone by except you. He was definitely pissed off about something, and decided to take revenge on you the rest of the race until the final incident disabling your car. He should be reported and banned or suspended for his actions. He wasn't even trying to race, just after you. thanks for the video.
TBF the hit in the hairpin was your fault u couldve lifted the gas again imo if u are smart , like always count on the fault from others. 2nd the divebomb from him was his mistake bc he was with slipstream too late on the brakes so obviously he is slow in that corner and exit ;) . 3rd: the 2nd divebomb at last chicane couldve been seen from miles away so another smart move you couldve done is leave the door open and take over at the exit of chicane. and the pushing oftrack from him at start finish line couldve been avoided too from u just lift gas and steer left . and tbh u divebombed him in last chicane at 10:47 in the race too bc u lifted the brakes 1 time so u were in some cases at fault too. i am not justifying his bad driving , cause he DID drive bad and made alot mistakes, BUT you couldve driven smarter and avoided alot of that and did some mistakes too. i do agree with some here that he should get a hefty penalty for driving recless but you did some mistakes too and couldve avoided alot. anyway nice video
He's not an actual 'esports' whatever , its just a team of his and his mates ( just search simgrid rgt esports) Report , include replay , timestamps , and the message , and if anyone else has had incidents with him , report , get people like this out of LFM
Disgusting behaviour from a so called esport driver I understand him being slightly miffed for when you bumped him after he bogged down but you let him back through and his behaviour afterwards was disgraceful and a ban is well deserved for him !!
Couple of times you did chop people off where I was holding my breath as you where turning in. The pass into the last chicane was a bit late to be honest. But all in all you drove clean. That guy was a maniac.
why did i get recommended a video in which a guy gets given the outside lane, dives to the inside (which is fine) the car moving to the right keeps moving to the right. dude from behind sticks it inside when the lane had closed. gets wrecked and reports the guy who did one move. take the outside that was given or realize the guy was moving right and back out.
LFM gives you the tools to remove drivers like this.. Me like many others would be using it Rory for something like that, report him and get him banned.
Although you could had backed out of that move in Degner 1 (you still had dirty tires). All the other moves are on him. The hairpin incident is just unlucky, he bogged down and you were so close behind him.
He didn't bog down. He was slower out of the corner. He dive bombed (quite well) and had to make a sharper turn. There was zero reason to expect him to carry the same speed as the car taking a better line. This just shows the inexperience of the car being overtaken.
I dont think he should back down on that move on denger 1, Rory still had the right to that corner. The hairpin though is totally on Rory, the bmw made a very good lunge, didnt miss the corner at all and he hit him from behind. The rest is the bmw being a stupid idiot.
Never heard of a lifetime ban from ACC. And this just resulted in a ban in LFM, and most obviously he got there already two "permanent" lifetime banns. If he's a cat, he still has some banns left...
Maybe I'm going blind but I've watched several times now and I'm failing to see what this guy did that was so bad. Your first move up the inside at the last chicane was pretty questionable and resulted in you both going off. Next, the guy makes the same move and you both go off again. Even Stevens at that point. Down the straight, the guy goes defensive and you try to pass on the pit exit? He was on the far side of the track at the point you tried to pass so I'm not sure he was responsible for you getting binned. I might be wrong and this is the first time I've disagreed, (kinda), so don't hate me. Big fan :)
If I was you i wouldn't have tried to pass him on the right side. He was clear he was squeezing you. You had the time to break and move to the left. He was an ass, but you could have avoided it. You kept pushing. You looked at the chat while he was moving to the right. You were supposed to stay in the left
I dont know about that first situation earlier. He got a bad exit but Rory crashed into him... i dont know how that would be handled with the rules. 10:46 that was on Rory in my opinion. If I would be the BMW driver, I wouldnt have not expected that Rory would go for that move/dive and try to overtake. So, the BMW didnt even had a chance or time to give him space while turning in to that corner.
Yep, Rory had no rights to the corner as he completely overshot the corner and missed his braking point as well as not fully holding the brakes but instead trailing. That's what we call a divebomb.
You ran him off the track in the first incident, he was on your outside and you took the whole track on the exit. His pass was good on the second, bit divebomb-y but there was no contact.He was very slow to accelerate out of the corner because of the speed in, which you could have anticipated. If you're rear-ending cars and they're not brake checking, that's something for you to work on. The rest of the stuff afterwards was all him and disgraceful. You definitely need to work on your awareness, some of your driving is very unpredictable, and you even said on the stream you didn't know where the cars were coming from, which tells a whole story. You cut a few people off too, which wasn't great.
exactly what i saw error in rear anding him then he ram him off the track by divebombing the other guys then after that it was payback time from the other guys, the fack that Rory Alexander did not put is ram throw at the chicane during recap tell alot. the other guys crash on the pit line was just creazy but its not like Rory did not do 2 incident whit him in the first place
Just rewatching some old videos. I searched for this guy in LFM's Discord server. Turns out he wasn't officially banned for this, although he was likely about to get banned for it anyway. It actually shows a problem that LFM seem to have had in policing their bans. He was banned for having previously been banned for the same offence eight months earlier and setting up another account to get around the ban. He had been reported for a couple of minor incidents in September of 2022 (this race was in October) but looks like his ban hadn't been noticed by LFM.
Never driven in ACC but see this all the time in GT 7. Some people hate to be outdone and loose their minds. What I hate most is that they are ruining my DR.
Can I play the devil's advocate for a second? For the record, I believe this guy should be banned from all kind of sim-racing. It's clear he's either a kid that hasn't learned to deal with anger or a very immature adult. But.... In the "final incident", what were you hoping to achieve there? I mean, to be fair, he did fully close the door before you even got an inch alongside. There was no car's width between him and the white pit exit line (which you're not supposed to cross, definitely not to overtake). Also, he obviously (as you proved in the replay) let the guy ahead of you through and was clearly out on war path with you. I mean, you're a smart guy (at least that's my impression :) ), so surely you knew what was about to happen there?? But then again, if it didn't happen there, it probably would have happened somewhere else. And again, I'm 100% on your side, just curious why you decided to basically "allow him" to execute you
You always have to leave a space! He was weaving all over the track and brake checking him. In my opinion that isn’t closing the door, that’s weaving. There is a reason he got banned. He pushed him off the track.
@@camiloorsini9674 The move he does in the final incident is 100% legit, what he does after Rory comes alongside (although it is debatable if Rory should go on the pit exit road to overtake) is just disgusting. I agree with you that he has to leave space, but only if the car following him is (partially) alongside. Otherwise, he has every right to glue his car to the inside. But let's just say we all agree that we're happy that this donkey got a lifetime ban from LFM, as he well deserved it :) Good riddance :D
It's usually like this, the dirty guy in the BMW... makes the mistake alone, because he had space... blames his friend and throws the car on top... and has the courage to report it
At first and second view I thought your recovery was a bit suspect, but it really wasn't looking at it again here. The hair-pin is a simple racing incident, no blame on anyone. The rest is complete shenanigans from him, and then, the killer self-imposed idiocy of admitting he caused a crash on purpose. If that's not a lifetime ban, I'm not sure what is. Lunacy. Some folks have said you should have gone left on the straight or held back and tried again. The very fact he admits to causing a collision indicates he would have done it any means possible, then or later.
Seen this many times. Its 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other after the initial you coming back on the track incident. TBF you should have let him go and then passed him under your own merit! You impeded his line!.. but with streamers like yourself your concentration is 50% on the race and the other on the audience. If you werent overly busy trying to justify the back onto the track move which in itself isnt that bad but your attention was drawn away from racing toward reading the comments on your stream. IDK if this guy actually got banned but you should be feeling 50% responsible for his banning. You have a lot to say when tbh you should be just racing. Understand that your poor concentration levels can and do spoil other drivers races. We cant always be right and in this instance i think you took it too far.
Watched this live on your stream , was outraged then and now even more so , how dare he do that behaviour and then msg you like he's some sort of esport teacher . This player needs banning and good on you not loosing your cool , hope you reported him mate . Shame on him
I'm the kind of guy who doesn't mind just a bit of bumping or rubbing, but to deliberately take you off the track like that? That is bad form, any way you look at it. And to keep your cool like that? Very nicely done. I honestly despise competitors like that who have s**t skills, and the only way they can deal with other competitors is to pull out something dirty like that.
This'll become a common thing as kids get easy access to gaming computers, consoles and such. Thinking they are pro because they were born with a mouse and keyboard or controller.
Not gonna lie Rory, what the hell am I watching???? Yes the driver that was deliberately crashing into you is the main villain here, but mate your driving was all over the place this race. Not sure how you made it into top split with these driving standards. Sooooo badddd
In American football, that's what is called targeting. It carries a substantial penalty and a temporary suspension. If a player repeatedly is flagged for targeting, they may be banned from playing at all. Seems like this driver has received the appropriate sanction.
Sorry Rory that i have to say this, but this was your own fault in this situation. He is moving to the right side of the straight line so that you can pass on his left side. Totaly senseless move to try to move on his right side to overtake him there. Nobody can expect what you are doing there. Anyway this guy drives like shit from the begin of the race. But the mentioned situation isnt his fault. In F1 i think this would also be a rule break if he starts moving on the left line instead of keeping on the right side. You are only allowed to change your line 1 time and not 2. So you want that he brakes the rules cause you doing a dumb move? I also drive in a semi pro F1 2022 league (F1 2020 and 2021) and i am around the Top 2K Players there. Have also some houndround hours in ACC, so i know what i am talking about.
You’re kidding right? Rory is already behind on his right when he starts drifting. He’s not letting him pass, he’s trying to close the door. I do think Rory should have gone for the left at that point, but if there’s still a line on the right, he’s allowed to take that. And what in the heck do you think that driver is doing aiming for the grass on the right hand side? You think he’s trying to respect the rules???
Bro you're absolutely bullshitting, you can't swap your line on a straight more than once. He was literally driving all across the track and forced him off the straight
Maybe I have a different perspective not knowing you at all, but that incident at 17:25 ish definitely looked like you over cooked it into the chicane there and had no chance of making that corner without hitting him. As far as the wall crunch goes it looks obvious from your angle he made no attempt and ran strait into the grass to take you out, but that earlier chicane incident looks like your fault to my eyes.
Fairplay to you when you braked after that bump, Happens to the best of us but ramming you off like that..... Rewatched replays allot of times your actions did not seem wrong to me your reentry was fine idk why this guy did this but he should be banned
Well, actually you crashed into him 2 times in 2 mins, the second was at 10:45. I can understand his frustration. But ofc it doesnt mean you can crash someone on purpose to have revenge
Lol! Probably you are just like that moron if you believe you can judge bout nations seeing few stupid guys. There are much more idiots of all the different nations out there in the games and real life but you are not surprised bout them! Right!? What if the guy is Belarussian or Ukrainian or Tatar or maybe Russian German or American Russian or he is from Baltics or Central Asia perhaps and so on? I bet you uneducated person are really surprised to find out there are tons of different people of all the different nationalities do speak Russian and may have or use Russian type of names and nicknames. That would be so stupid to judge about the Dutch people by reading your comments coz before I only met nice ones.
I was torn, at first: the BMW's dive to the inside at 10:15 was really aggressive, but he made the pass by the apex and still (surprisingly) made the turn on exit. I get that his exit was really compromised and that's why you tapped his rear, but that still seems a minor thing that puts fault on you. Props for waiting to give the place back, I think that absolves you from guilt on a minor racing incident, and if that were all of the interaction between you two, I'd have no critique. However, at 10:47, I'm not seeing how you had a shot at making that chicane from that inside line at that entry speed, even if he wasn't there. I imagine from that point, he thought you absolutely speared him off track, and he had the red mist where he wanted to "even the score," in his mind. The REALLY aggressive squeezing you left @ 12:05 was more than I'd ever try in his shoes, and the lunge in that same chicane @ 12:23 was absolutely moronic on his part--it was doomed to fail, from much farther back than your attempt when the roles were reversed, and made all of zero sense. From that point on, I'm in your corner that he's a jerk, and you were much more composed than I would feel. As far as the incident at 14:23, I'm surprised you kept going for the space on his right--in hindsight, he certainly seemed to be lifting for drivers between you two so he could have a go at ruining your race; but as he drifts right, I thought you'd try to juke back left (since he *should* only get one move to defend, if following the rules). Of course, it's easy for me to backseat drive split-second decisions after-the-fact, and I'm convinced he would've just put you in the wall on the left side of the track, too. Just that in a very skewed world, maybe he'd try to appeal, (wrongly) saying he was just continuing to cover the right, but the idiot went so far right he dipped wheels in the grass with you getting obliterated beside him. TL;DR: one or two missteps by you at the start of your battle (10:47, really), but handled well otherwise, and he wouldn't let it go. Guy became increasingly more toxic, and I'm not surprised by his ban.
I had this twice in iRacing. Didn’t report it the second time because they didn’t investigate my first report properly. Best to move on from it quickly.
Honestly he deserves to be permanently banned from every form of sim racing. Complete idiot. Launches into every hairpin and corner missing the apex by miles and hitting you. Turning while breaking when you are going for an overtake. Pushing you off the track. And the on top of that pusing you into the barrier ruining your race totally.
There's a bunch of people out there like that and they're really ruining it.... it's like they got tired of PS4 finally got a computer and decided ACC was for them and it's not.
Oh my, where to start with that one… firstly well done for keeping your cool, lord knows I would have struggled. Secondly that is a report every day of the week. Most of the time, yeah it was a bad move/ incident where you could debate a report or not. This is malicious. This is supposed to be a platform for people who want to race in real cars but wasn’t born with a diamond encrusted dummy in their mouth. This platform is about serious attempts to bring real racing into a digital world. No respect for the platform, they don’t belong on it. Well done to you though Rory. An inspiration as always.
It's because of people like him that make people like me to not touch this game again. Also just because Esport is in the name does not mean he is a high tear esports driver. It's the Internet so you can be anyone you want to be
He can't handle the frustration of racing online. His race started with 2 crashes in the first 3 corners, the last one got him a spin and a trip to the grass. Maybe you rejoining the track after the spin, and then his semi spin in the hairpin just triggered him. Life tends to do this usually. Now he can start a new account and take it from the beginning - maybe next time he will think twice before acting like a child.... maybe not!
Nice of you to let yourself off so politely for the pushy reentry and tail shove....that said, his actions after you frustrated the crap out of him had him playing the man and that is never acceptable. The ultimate solution of course is to stay smooth enough to stay in front and then you avoid all the nastiness 😁
16:39 - It's a make no wonder this guy couldn't accelerate out of the corner; 100% throttle before the apex with 8/10 TC. Throttle was cutting so hard the car couldn't get out of its own way.
You tried to overtake him at the pit exit where you are clearly running out of space. Even when he stayed on a straight line when you started to go far right, you run out of space. You are not enough side by side with him to have right of a line there. You forced the incident. Of course his behavior is very bad, but the last incident is clearly on you.
Shame that because at the beginning was some really close racing. Good job on keeping your calm with this e sports 😂😂 racer... Shocking behaviour from him, clearly targeted you after not being able to make his move stick. Deserves the life time ban in my opinion.. Had a few of these idiots myself on ACC, I didn't realise you could report them... I only try to enter 70 and above races now, to keep the idiots out.. Doesn't always work though... Great videos n keep up the good work pal. 👍👍👌
The M4 is so far out of the GT3 performance envelope, that it allows idiots like this into, let's say semi-public lobbies in LFM, to drive like this. They need balancing, even if it's a flat reduction in braking force.
@@chrismaina1830 and banning someone from using a product they paid for is better? you people are infinitely worse than that guy. he just crashed into someone in a game...but you all want him permanently banned from enjoying something he paid for IN REAL LIFE... no bans should ever be permanent.
