Racers or what?

Hi All!
Why must it be SO incredible hard to get a practice race going in this league
The meaning with racing in my mind is to do the best you can without taking out other drivers 8can happen to all sometime,in NAR practice races its all the time,OK its practiceyou say,YES its practice and try to make it to practice and not foolishness.
Guidelines according to me:
1:Startprocedure:
First of all...LEARN TO USE THE LAUNCHCONTROL,in that way we save a lot of rear wings.
Try NOT to win the race at the first corner,look what the car infront of you is doing and BRAKE so you can get through first and second corner and leave space for other drivers too.
2:Formationlap:
100% concentration is required under formation lap since the driver in front dont drive like at a fullspeed lap,if this doesnt work for someone I have to quote Killa "then you are not in the right league"
3:Race:
Get a rhytm,if you catch someone who is also racing,take it cool and sit behind a while and try to see where you are faster and then try to get a slipstream OR if you dont get that oppurtunity,RACE with the guy (i promise,its fun)remeber...you did catch him,and he sees you in the mirrors,sooner or later there may be a little mistake you can get use of.
If someone is catching you...STAY CALM and drive as you are alone,if he want to overtake it is his headache,you can defend against overtaking by changing line,but only one time and then you got to hold that line through the corner.
If you are being lapped,go out of racing line and let him by.
If you have been passed,DONT PANIC,drive your pace,the guy in front has propably stressed his tyres when he was behind you and could easily try to go too fast,then you can take your place back...RACING.
PLEASE FRIENDS dont ruin the little time some of us have to do this by being nothinking 1st corner winners.
LETS HAVE FUN
With hope that I not offend anyone,just educates...hehe
