I have a "4 second rule" whereby if I have a lead of 4 seconds or more I'll absorb any mines or bombs. Maybe it should be less than 4 seconds but I'm quite panicky when leading against good players and I sometimes tend to leave half of Cambodia behind me.

I sometimes think I'm a bit of a thug in general, I win a lot of races by shooting the sh*t out of everything in sight (Oryx will verify this ), rather than through perfect lines and advanced BRs. But I played a lot of Eliminator when I started HD, and I'm quite proud of my weapon skills. It's swings and roundabouts really, what comes around goes around. All good fun
