These are the the words that have been said to me the most often since I started playing this game in 2016.
Today I flipped out for the Nth time and i left the three leagues I was playing in. I was dominating all of of the three leagues.
One (1 car league) I was clear of 100+ points with 5 races left. Another one I was 1st after 3 races (missed the 1st race, not even set up for it) and I literally dominated the season before. And the last one, Kevin Bissell's league, I won first and second race, tonight was the third race but I left before it.
The reason I flipped out is not being called a cheater, no one called me such in that league. But I'm literally SICK of all the bugs in this dead game.
I was comfortable for the win in Spain, my main opponents had to use kers a few times to get DRS from me while I NEVER used it and still was able to get drs every lap. And we all were on the same strategy and same amount of fuel (so same laps). Until last pit stop. I was 2nd entering the pit lane. Pit stop lasted 3 seconds as the race rewiew says, same of my oponents, but I actually exited pit lane 3 secods after the 1st and behind the 5th. Lost the race because of that. Same thing happened yesterday in Singapore (actually, it was even worse, but I won't even bother telling about such absurdity). I had the best car in the league (not the most developed - but the best one as qualifying round sentenced after 14 different teams maxed out the "big4" skills and I was on pair on Fuel Economy with another team. Maxed out Acc, Brk, Down, Hand and FE don't explain a very low pit stop compared to others). So if there's a reason for those pit stops, I really wonder what is it, since the Devs said pit stops have been fixed months ago.
But that's just the beginning of my sad evening.
Kevin Bissell's league:
I joined last season, mid-season. As many great players know there's a ridiculous bug which gives you an over powered design for next season if you join a league mid-season. I didn't even know that. But Kevin told me I would have needed to leave the league at the end of the season, join another one to get a correct reset and then join his league again to make it fair. And that's what I've done.
The season before, I've been researching and collecting all DP until last 2 races (China and Canada). I waited until China (very long and frustrating wait) and then I assigned all my DP for the China race. I got a 1-2 even tho I was very low in FE and TE. It seemed very strange to me so the day after I went to check the development from my pc (I ONLY play this game on phone and ONLY played it on phone since 2016). And I found out not all of their cars were maxed out in Acc, Brk, Down and Hand, after 18 races. And I mistakenly took it for granted the day before when I assigned all my DP for the Chinese race. As you all know, phone players can't see the names and how many teams have the most developed skills. I only saw they all were maxed so I thought the best teams had those skills maxed out after all those races. I was wrong. I totally dominated that Chinese race even on M tyres vs S tyres. So I apologized for that and didn't even setup for last race in Canada cause it wouldn't have been fair as I was more developed towards the best teams. During season break I left the league, joined another one to avoid the bug and get a correct reset and then joined Kevin's league again, finally ready for next season.
First race, GB19 (one of my favs). I qualified 20th and 21st. I won. I was impressed by myself, I didn't even know how I pulled that out. Second race, USA (one of my most hated). I qualified 3rd and 4th and I literally dominated the race scoring a 1-2.
Tonight there was the 3rd race, FRANCE (maybe one of my top5 favs) but I left the league before the race.
Now let's talk about the third league I was talking about. Very old league (2 cars league). I was there in 2018, played 5 seasons and won 3 of them, finishing 2nd in the other two seasons. It was before the "Tyre-Update" and that league was waaaaaaaay more competitive than the almost dead league it is now. There's only 1 survivor from back then, Tad Stahl. Early in 2018, when I was in that league, there was a very strong player called Dick "something", he was a pain in the asssss for me, very very fast, in fact he won 2 of my 5 seasons there and scored two 2nd and a 3rd in the other 3 seasons which I won. Also, back then, a few italian players joined that league to compete with me (two of them also called me a cheater back then, but it was daily routine, before the Tyre-Update I was called a cheater EVERYDAY in all the leagues I raced). I joined that league after very long time a few weeks ago, with a level 18 team and was competing against level 20 teams. I won many races and dominated the season. I stayed for a second season but missed the first race (didn't even setup), but after three races I was already leading the Championship again. As I said, I left that league as well.
Now, what people in Kevin's league and in that 3rd league don't know, is that I watched tonight races as a spectator.
And I've read the chat.
I want to say a few things to TWO players. One from Kevin's league, a player named Gary Chittick. He's always been giving me laighing emojis since I joined that league last season. And tonight, when others where questioning the reason I left the league in race chat, he said I'm a BOT.
Dear Gary, I'm not a bot. You can laugh as long as yoi wish but sadly for you I'm one of the best players this game has ever seen. And this is a well known fact to older players. When I was one of the best you were still sucking at your mom's nipple. So please, shut up.
But especially, I want to say something to a so called "4kdup nightmare". Some clown from that "3rd league" I was talking about. League name: FIA IGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP".

If you can't see the image (this forums sucks equally to the game itself) this is what's written in it:
Tad Stahl: Hate to see Lolita leave. She say anything to anyone?
4kdup nightmare: personally i think she cheats
4kdup nightmare: not because she won alot but drs and kers that was too strong and lasted too long
Tad Stahl: i wouldn't even know how to do something like that
4kdup nightmare: check her out she has her own league with 12 of her teams retired
Sheldon Monton: Damn I thot she was a legit racer
4kdup nightmare: l17 dont out pace l20 teams in drs their kers dont last as long
---
Oh well, dear so called "4kdup nightmare" clown, first of all I wasn't level 17 but level 18 when I joined the league and level 19 this season.
I can't even imagine how many times I've been called a cheater in 5 years from people from all over the world. But just as I told every single one of them, I think you know absolutely NOTHING about this game. What am I saying.. I don't think that, that's just a simple fact. You need to know level 18-19 drs is not so distant from level 20 drs. You also need to know the effectiveness of you drs also depends on your tyre wear and tyre temperature. You also need to know there are some bit of tracks, in all circuits, where you can use just a little bit of kers to gain A LOT compared to wasting it in wrong bits of the circuit (something you ALWAYS do). You can't even imagine how easy was to beat you (you don't know how to play), Chaz (he always wastes his kers for nothing) and Tad (he doesn't even know how to use it or doesn't even use it at all until last last lap most of times). As I often said in the league and during races, my only good opponent in that league was Richard Penny. He is way better than you managing a race and you're extremely lucky he almost never attends, or he would absolutely dominate that league without me. He was extremely fast last seasons and even got to beat me a few times (even tho, as he also admitted, he purposely missed a lot of races to save DP and get max development to beat me a few times).
You really need to learn how this game works, especially how boost works related to tyre temp, tyre wear and bits of track where it's most effective. You can think I cheat as long as you want but trust me, you're just an average player and you can't even compare to my level of playing.
I play this game since early 2016, got to learn in very well in 2017 and I was literally phenomenal between 2017 and 2018, before the Tyre-Update, which only made players like yourself think they're good players. And I'm not even explaining you the reason now, as I talked about that so many times here on the forums during the last 2 years I now find it nauseating.
Ask yourself why you saw me pulling off with my cars so many times. But ask yourself a serious question. Cause it's not cheating and all the Mods, Devs and best players in the game can confirm you.
Also, that league you're talking about, it's just iGP Kingdom. The first and most famous Italian competitive league, which I founded, even before the Italian iGP community started to develope in 2018 with the "iGP Manager Italia" series. I managed to get that league back, which became dead during the last few months, and just parked all my teams there to retire. Nothing more than that.
Even if you don't respect me and we didn't even know each other at all, I'll give you a single one advice which you should really take as a treasure: LEARN HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME. Cause you know nothing about it besides basics.
Take care and good luck.
And now, I want to talk about the iGP Manager game in general.
I've been thinking and saying this since late 2018. This game is DEAD.
This game is full of bugs. And besides very old (and still resisting) ones, they all started after the Tyre-Update. I will never stop to say this.
From 2016 to 2018, this game was almost perfect. The only issue was the huge gap between different compounds wear. I've said this so many times I'm really sick of repeating myself so I'm not even gonna talk about the Tyre-Update itself. Cause many people know what I think about it amd that's the only thing that matters to me.
Since the Tyre-Update, mega trains during races have born. Due to those mega trains, mixed with great and average players, lots of complaints from the best players have started. Rightly.
You developers have tried you best since then, I can reckon that, but always implementing useless updates trying to improve the game but only making it worse. I won't even name the gigantic number of bizzarre bugs you introduced in the game since then, you already know them all.
What's very frustrating, for me and so many other great players, is that you never understood what you did wrong and when. You've been modifying everything during the last 2 years until the game have become unplayable.
You're extremely lucky the game format is OUTSTANDING as it always have been. It gets people speaking about it and joining the game everyday. But then the game itself proves to be boring as fuk. As the current version, everyone can win a race or a championship if he gets the right car development, due to most of circuits dynamics where being lucky with drs turns becomes vital. There are just a few tracks where a GREAT player can make a difference, they're almost all very old tracks full of bugs (Spain, Brazil, Turkey, Europe, China, Belgium, Japan) - and personally, a few others due to my syle of playing such as GB19 and France especially. Most awful is Austria. No doubts. Also, Malaysia wet race and Monaco wet race are completely unplayable, since years. Never been fixed.
But this is just venting from an old and disappointed player. Other people may think different about those circuits, everyone has his tastes and style of playing.
I know these things will never change for the better. Instead, they will even get worse. Cause I have ABSOLUTELY ZERO DOUBTS your next "big update" will definitely destroy the old, dear iGP Manager. It's a thing I'm feeling since 2018, since when you, JACK BASFORD, have decided everyone can get an easy go in this game.
And I understand that, from your point of wiew. Most happy players, most incoming. That's a rule I understand very well.
But from my point of view, this game is completely dead and full of people who don't uderstand what we can really do during a race, but still kept in due to the current race dynamics.
Now sorry for all this, badly written and confused message, I'm sure I aso forgot to say many other things and English is not even my first language. But that's all. And this is my very last say on this forum, in this game.
Oh and one last thing. I'm a woman. Everyone, for the Nth and last time, I'M A WOMAN! Cause I'm sick of being called a "he" everywhere after 5 years of game.
Thanks to everyone who accepted me during these years, to all the italian community even tho they mostly hate me and to everyone who taught me something new about the game.
Special thanks to Gian Michele Pisanu, who was capable to bear with me during the last few momths even tho I was a real pain in the asssss with my boring questions and race reports .
Good luck everyone. Players, Mods and Devs.
I retire.
