Wanting to get better but feeling bad
I wanted to see if anyone else felt like this or maybe had an answer to a question below.
Its rough racing against someone who is clearly better than you but obviously not wanting to give up position. Im not an aggressive driver (or slow) by any means, consistent green badge typically which throws me into top split or split 2. Most folk tend to be faster than me but ill be damned if I let them through which sometime leads to hard racing. There has been instances where we rub paint and then it becomes a game of "oops my bad here's the position back". How do I respectfully tell these people, 'Its fine let's go let's go everybody is catching up to us while we play chicken"?
It becomes especially tricky when me and another driver are thousands off of each other's consistent pace. Constant diffuser sniffing, defensive maneuvers, etc.
Bit of a rant but curious if anyone else struggles with wanting relatively clean racing with some appropriate bumping throught an entire sprint event?
