Lappers

So I think it would be a good idea for when the lapped gets a blue flag if he doesn't move he go invisible so the loppers just don't screw up the leaders 
True, maybe have a blue flag pop up at the middle left side or middle right side of the screen on top of the board with a arrow pointing left or right telling you what side of the track the leader is on so you can move appropriately. Should not be too hard. But I am not the creator of the game so I don't really know.CeeJayHDz wrote:How would he even make that work to the point of the game knowing when a lapper has moved or not? An alternative option would be if you're a lapper and get the blue flag.... move?
Like if u get the blue flag make it where it gives them an arrow like JJ saidCeeJayHDz wrote:How would he even make that work to the point of the game knowing when a lapper has moved or not? An alternative option would be if you're a lapper and get the blue flag.... move?
I think its funny how bad some of the lappers are to cross jump the leaders more then onceslowngreen wrote:I think its funny how bad some of the fast guys are at taking different lines to avoid lapped riders.
Most of the fast guys (especially in qualifying) will try and thread the needle to get that fast lap or to not get passed cause sometimes you have a lapper and a guy for position on each side of you and you don't wanna let him go to not hit the lapper and loose the position so you just hope you don't end up hitting the lapperslowngreen wrote:As someone who gets lapped ALOT, I find it fairly easy to move out of the way, but it isnt always easy and if someone fast is coming up on you in a rhythm section or whoops, you dont always have time to move. But all I ever hear is everyone bitching about lapped riders. Maybe the lead guys should get better at trying to go around them too instead of just bitching, why not try to be part of a solution too? It's a two way conversation imo. I watch the rf races and so many fast guys dont even try to miss the lapped riders, even running into them on purpose or running them off the track, then complaining. I fully understand there are plenty of guys who dont even try to move out of the way and even try to get in the way and they give all lapped riders a bad name. But I still think fast guys should be some what understanding of lapped guys. They were slower once, they should know you can always just pull over if someone comes up real fast behind you.
You are not smart if you truly believe that the leaders are fucking up their own race just to have something to complain about. It is hard to continue to race competitively when lappers refuse to get out of the main line to allow you to go by in the main line. If a lapper has a blue bar at .7 going into a corner before a 7 pack in which the main line is to rail, and then go 3-4 on the far outside, and that lapper does that line, then you either have to funnel in with them hoping that they don't slow you down or cause you to run into them, effectively killing the both of you, or get out of the main line and be slowed down anywayslowngreen wrote:As someone who gets lapped ALOT, I find it fairly easy to move out of the way, but it isnt always easy and if someone fast is coming up on you in a rhythm section or whoops, you dont always have time to move.

Yea leaders do make aggressive passes and even clean lappers who are going full retard. But most of the time we try not to mess with themslowngreen wrote:Truly believe? Well Ive seen it plenty of times so I guess I must truly believe. If you dont think that "some" guys who are lapping riders dont sometimes go out of their way to clobber a lapped rider then I guess you are the one who is not smart. Of course the guys in the lead dont do it much but there usually a good amount of positions lapping people.
