Ok so im a big fan of the courtesy of not wiping out people (especially crew members) in a race... do you guys ever feel pressure to avoid your crew?
Coz I do!
Maybe its just because im starting out and still learning the ropes of racing in gta online but I find I get pretty stressed in races with the crew NOT to hit them accidently. In other races, I obviously dont feel so bad as every1 is just out to PIT manouver everyone so bumping into them is pretty acceptable, but I found im so worried about crashing into another NoDo that my racing performance really dips.
Any thoughts or maybe tips?

People are always going to hit each other in races, even in serious events. We usually know when it's just an accident or something and yeah it does piss some people off (such as me when I crash because someone hits me) but that can't be helped very much.
Basically, don't worry about hitting your fellow racers (but do be wary of what they are doing) because if you start feeling pressure over it you will just end up making a mistake.We understand that it happens, nobody will shun you or anyone else for it unless it's problematic and a bit too frequent to be just an "accident" : P

I guess that's pretty normal if you started racing with this ruleset just recently. With more practice and experience you will definitely get used to it, or at least you won't feel that much pressure to really hinder your performance in an actual race. You can't expect your time to be always as good as hotlapping in a race with others, given that some hotlapping lines and overall attitude don't really go well with a lobby full of people. GTA isn't a racing sim so there is almost no penalty (damage) on your car if you hit/slightly bump others and that can result in being overly confident and bumping others even if you didn't really had the intention to. That is something to be wary of and I still don't feel completely at easy racing with lots of people even after 700+ crew races.

As long as you don't hit them intentionally, I don't think any NODO racer would rage at you. I myself cause other members problems taking wrong lines, braking where I shouldn't etc but to this time I never got raged by other members. If you think you made a clear mistake messagge them afterwards and it all will go smooth. For tips ; I could say if you are not confident that you gonna put up a good race, let others pass at the start and then drive as you always do, catch up if u can, maybe try some overtakes and when you get the feeling you can compete, hit the throttle to the deepest end man

Winners are generally feared on track. Be agressive. Give no quarter. Expect none back. CrazyMan2626267

All else fails just wait for them to get back on the track and give them their spot back. It was accidental and people will see that if you wait. In the mean time push yourself to go as fast and try to pass when you feel is a good place. Wrecks will happen, hell in the last endurance race I believe I hit Kelevera and made him drift. I waited for him to get back in front so I could have a clean pass on him. When you push yourself and others mistakes will be made just accept the consequences of your actions and try to what you can. We are all only human.

Because were on the topic of taking out other drivers, the one thing that's worse than hitting a crew member is knocking over lamposts. The poor helpless drivers behind might be tumbling and crashing everywhere because of the lamposts waiting to flip it's next victim. So if you do knock one over, just check behind to make sure everyone is okay, and don't use them to your advantage! not that people do.
