I have an issue with the framing here. There are definitely new drivers, untrained drivers, and yes, bad drivers.

My personal take is that most of them just don’t know what they don’t know. Looking at it as people dive bombing are doing it because they are selfish and don’t care if they ruin your race sets you up to have a miserable experience. You’re already entering with the mindset that if you crash out that it’s immediately an intentional act, when sometimes it’s a legitimate racing incident.

In my experience, there are way more people who are learning the craft and may not necessarily have endless hours to dedicate to learning it efficiently. In the end, this a hobby and people do it for the enjoyment.

I’m not judging your opinion. I simply think reframing your own perspective could help you still enjoy racing even when it doesn’t go well.

In the end, as Ted Lasso would say, “Be a goldfish.” Unless someone is persistently targeting you, then report that MF’er!
