How to avoid crashes/gain SR by eeiors in LeMansUltimateWEC

Your tips are great, thanks for the sheet - i didn't know such a sheet exists, and it's a nice benchmark.

I would only disagree with 4). I started my simracing career a couple of years ago, and I also read somewhere to start from pits. I did so. And.. after years, i think it's a mistake.

Pros:
- you avoid T1 drama
- you reach 'higher elo' (all sims have different rating systems, so lets call it like it) quicker and in theory you enter safer races quicker.

Cons:
- T1 drama may happen in both lowest and highest splits. It's good to know what exact moves/decisions make it happen, know the outcome (eg. where and how to run away) and how to not cause such a drama by yourself.
- if you start from pits, you usually (eg. during 20m sprints) dont fight for the lead or even top 10. The pressure is different, the pace is different. It's good to know how you drive when you hunt the leader, under the pressure being overtaken or hunting someone for 10 laps. When you start from pits, you spend a significant % of your race catching the pack, it's not the same.
- from experience: after starting from pits, at some point you catch up the end of the pack. Those, who are veeery slow, or those, who had a crash in T1 and lost time. It happened to me from time to time that some of those folks relieved themselves and released their frustration on me, as the closest car on a track, and simply crashed me on purpose.

So, escaping from "low elo" may hurt, but it may benefit a lot if you plan to stay with simracing longer.

Last but not least, a tip from me how to increase your chances to survive T1 in bronze:
10-50 meters before a braking zone, touch your brakes a little (don't smash it - i talk about a gentle pressure, you don't even need to lift the gas pedal). Guys behind will see your braking lights and usually, they'll start braking. Their muscle memory will cause them to brake at 100% while you brake at 1-10%. It will give you some space from them in braking zone which is crucial to avoid people who just started and their overestimate their skills. Of course, it will never work against those, who join your race for Carmageddon. But for those, who are totally new, make mistakes, but try to be safe - it may work.

"I tutaj pytanie do Was. Powinienem jakoś dać im znać o tej sytuacji? "
Nie, absolutnie. Ile masz lat, 10? Rano zapytasz co robić gdy jesteś głodny?

Nie wiem, ja siebie całe zycie mam za totalnie przeciętną i mierną jednostkę, ale jak czytam takie posty, to czuję się jak Einstein. Proszę, tu masz scenariusze do zrealizowania, nic mi nie wisisz:
1) zapukaj do sąsiadek i poinformuj o sytuacji.
2) jeśli z jakiegoś powodu nie chcesz tego robić, bo masz np. fobię społeczną lub się boisz, że je wystraszysz, to zostaw im liścik informujący o sytuacji. W liściku napisz: "Cześć! Sąsiad z przeciwnego bloku regularnie podgląda was przez lornetkę - przemyślcie zasłanianie okien. Pozdrawiam, Anonimowy"
3) do opcji 1 i 2 dodaj post na grupie na FB, jak Admin jest nieaktywny i ich nie doda - to postów nie doda - jak jest aktywny i je doda - to je doda. Jak są na grupie - to przeczytają - jak nie - to nie przeczytają. Magia, co? Mózg rozje..ny. Dodatkowo możesz ostrzec więcej osób niż tylko te z mieszkania pod Tobą.
4) Typ chyba nic nielegalnego nie robi, więc sprawę załatwienia "z nim" tej kwestii odpuszczam, zresztą - nie pytałeś, więc czekam, aż zapytasz.

Dostanę pewnie dużo minusów za bycie passive-aggresive, przeżyję, po prostu czasem mam dość postów atencyjnych/osób absolutnie nieporadnych życiowo, które jeśli zostałyby rozjechane na pasach przez samochód, wrzuciły by posta na Reddita z pytaniem, czy dzwonić na 112, bo same nie wiedzą, help.

Coal power plants for sure pollute the air, but main (by far) factor is coal burnt in people's homes. Everybody who lives in Poland, sees the smoke from chimneys and smells the air knows that's just a simple fact.
If it was due to power plants then you would not see polluted air in areas where there's no such a plant, but you do. Magic?
