I've been thinking about this too, the problem is I can't remember their names once the race has finished....
 
negativity breads negativity - I like to send a one liner :

"Clean racing is more exciting"

the more proponents of clean racing there are, the more clean racing we have - try not to go on a revenge trip, it doesn't anyone in the long run.
 
So I had a 1vs1 fuji 800 race with this guy billys1234567 and he was cutting every corner on the track that you could trying to beat me. I was driving it correctly and beat him by like 3 seconds, I sent him a message saying, "You need to work on not cutting corners (cheating)." And he just replied with, "What I need is your car settings, you have a better setup." (we were both in GTLM's)
 
it was the last lap on the last straight at Fuji during the Pro event with GTRs ferrari and vettes, and I caressed the apex just right at the last turn and because of the momentum I carried out of the turn I was about to pass this dude that was first. Guess what he did when he saw that I was actually carrying more speed than him and was about to pass him and win the match a few secs before he hit the line ???



he tried pinning me on a wall....just like that...sad for him the collision detector shut down (cuz he was KRrrraaayyyzzaaayy) and I won the match... :)

sent him a message that wrote:
"class..."

That has happened to me more than once.

I have to admit it's frustrating when somebody drafts past me but I wouldn't even think of blocking, much less hitting them. I just tell myself if I was further ahead they wouldn't be able to draft me.
 
I sometimes make ONE adjustment to my line in the final drag to the straight and just make me a little unpredictable so they don't know which side to go, only usually do it if the guy behind has been deliberately waiting to just nail me on the last straight, the GT5 slipstream is to overexagerated right now and i don't feel people should play to win by using that instead of making a race of it, but i never do it when i might cause contact.

As for messaging punters, i only ever usually send messages that involve a simple question, why? You can quickly gauge the maturity of the person in question based upon their reply. Gran Turismo should be the racer of gentleman, not for the impatient moron that we find so often.
 
Latest recent message was to some idiot who on the last corner went wide then dived to block the inside... (HSR)

I came into contact but it was minute...

He brake checks me lol then I catch up with some corners... then he wallrides then I catch up. Give him some pressure. pass him sucessfully at the S curves...

Message was

"I think I won that, dont you?"
"Oh, brake checking is for girls"


One time I had a spaniard coming out from the tunnel of HSR. Overtook me I braked as the pit area was approching and you see the dude fly into the wall (he was trying to ram me lol)

Gotta love idiot drivers :)
 
so I had a guy beat me by like a hundredth of a second because he rammed me right before we crossed the line. I sent him a message saying he shouldn't be cutting corners or ramming other people for first. He replies with, "it's called racing smart, MORON!"

So I sent him a message back saying, "The only people who see you get first, are the same people who watched you cut corners and ram other drivers. You aren't impressing anyone." I'll await his reply.

I think that's really the best thing you can say...it shows that he or she didn't even get a rise out of you, and that he or she is such a poor racer that others don't even understand why someone would do something so asinine. It's simplicity itself, but I still wish there was something along these lines that was just ice cold!
