Of course that is
a solution, but a) not the only one and b) only one for experienced drivers (which you obviously were from day one
...). Problem is, it's not the fitting solution for beginners and even some intermediate drivers. So please stop being so toxic. Just pass on.

I remember back in the 90's when you would show up to a track and the vast majority of the racers would talk with you, answer questions and give you pointers on how to improve. Now it's "don't hit stuff". As with just about everything else in life now, it's not the 90's anymore.
Sorry, but I disagree. I've never seen a track where everyone just jumped up to help (neither 20+ years ago, nor now). Some people did (and do) - but just like here on the forums, those who yell the loudest don't necessarily have the most knowledge and skills. OTOH I have also
never seen a track (to this day) where people would not talk to you or help you, if you
asked. Things were actually not all that much better (or different) in the past. That's pure nostalgia, IMO. We tend to fondly remember the good things and forget about the bad. Human nature.
