Yes, JJPAP, the mental damage is possibly the worst.

I killed a Goteki for the first time in ages last night, thanks to Micky 1984 and my carelessness. It was Ubermall and one of those races where your pick ups are almost too good. I was battling in 2nd-4th positions, and every pick up had an obvious application. Missile - that`s for you there. Turbo - I need that. Quake - have it. Bomb - no tailgating from you sir! I knew I had to absorb some of this stuff, but didn`t, the result being the start of lap 3 with energy on 3, and Micky 1984 doing what I knew was coming. I`m not sure if it was a weapon hit or just a nudge of doom, but I have learned my lesson.

thanks to everyone I raced last night, great fun, but I swear the standard gets higher all the time and new fast pilots keep appearing because I am slowly improving, but it`s as tough as ever. All in a great spirit though.
