I feel under pressure-- and it's great!

Recommended Posts

Sochi, 25% distance, leading by 15 secs when I pick up a three-second time penalty for track limits. No biggie, 4 laps left and a clear lead...when...

The safety car appears!

Everyone bunches up, I'm in a Manor and all I can see in my mirrors is Rosberg on one side, Hammy on the other. We form an orderly procession for TWO whole laps! When the safety car comes in, I have just two laps to beat second place, by three seconds. Floored it as soon as I was allowed, virtually took off onto two wheels around last two corners and...just...made...it. Beat Rosberg after the penalty was applied by 0.050!

Haven't stopped grinning yet, bravo Codemasters!

Leading by 15 secs in a Manor...   o_O
I honestly don't understand how playing it on such a low level is fun, for me it would be boring as heck playing like that, I like a challenge.  I'm racing for Manor too, but I've been adjusting the difficulty levels and 'assists' so I'm no more than 4-5 tenths faster than my team-mate at best.    My best result so far was 16th at Bahrain.  was a fun race and I had to fight hard just to hold my place.  (also 25% race distance)

For you it would be boring, for him it's fun. Maybe the thought of 16th isn't fun for him. Maybe he's leading a in a manor after playing a lot of seasons already, maybe it's a level lower than he normally plays but he was trying without an assist or something?

Either way who cares as long as the game's being enjoyed, pointless to assume you know enough to make judgments on whose challenge is "better".

I think the OP is being sarcastic                                       
I don't see any sarcasm in skybird's post. Seemed like a post saying he enjoyed a close result no?

I hadn't read your previous post when I posted that. Yes maybe he is having fun. But wouldn't he be having more fun in a mercedes on higher difficulty?

Yep, I am having fun, and whilst there are others better than me, faster than me, and more skillful than me, I don't care--
