Love it when people apologize after playing dirty. That’s not magically going to take back the results of the race now is it? Freaking trolling a-holes.
I use to be very upset when I have to go with an idiot around me on the track. And to be honest, even if my race was ruined by someone, it is a lot different "feeling" at the end, when the one pushed/bumped me apologizes. And usually they are fair, and it was just a mistake - which I also do sometimes. So basically I am happy if someone sees his fault and admit it correctly. (The real idiots apologize rarely.)

If someone realises that they are at fault and put their hands up, then yes its forgiven. On the other hand, when one at fault quits at once I might send them a message telling them (in a few choice words) how much of a 🤬 they are.
 
Yep, I know. The 911 GT2 if I remember correctly
Not to mention the 911 GT3 RS we have in this game is pretty OP

But that doesn't stop it from being so deadly (compared to the other layouts) :sly:
Fact is we have a 2017 911 RSR, which is a GTE car IRL. So it doesn't actually fit into GT3 class. I don't know how aero works in the game though, but GTE is much advanced than GT3 in that.
 
Just did my first Monza race. It seems slower cars invite even more bumping. No penalties since I lowered my DR to B, it didn't show any SR Downs either, yet still red S at the end, -2 SR. Whole room had red ratings.

First race I made it to 2nd place from 9th, big mess at the chicane. I was in first yet second deliberately rammed me off the road on the final straight, he got 5th, idiot. reported.

And thus the Monza SR slide begins once again.
 
Did two Monza runs, first one: pole position and clean win, awesome. Second one: pole position, but ended almost last. Missed the first chicane almost every lap, so I lost my SR S :banghead::banghead::banghead: luckily, though, haven't met many rammers, except for an austrian guy who didn't give me room before the last chicane, and sent me flying into the grass (no SR loss for me). Turned out he had 12 secs of penalty so he arrived last eventually. Getting ready for the 3rd run!
 
Has Polyphony been handing out S / S ratings with tokens from cereal packets???????

Some truely awful 'racecraft' @ GR1 Suzuka today..

The penalty system wouldn't be half as bad if people took their penalties OFF the racing line, but no, that's too much for some braincells to consider... :boggled:
 
Interlagos gr4 amazingly clean today, got pushed off few times on sr.S and got punished for 2 of those (lol), but all in all people seem to try and keep it clean. Ended up 2nd in one of them.
 
as a matter of fact,during the daily at dragon trail 2 days ago i managed several times an overtake on the outside of that chicane ,and both my opponent and I went through without contact......my point is IT CAN HAPPEN lol

I wasn't saying it couldn't be done, but in the countless failed attempts I have witnessed, I'd say 2-3 successes out 100 is bad odds.

This is so easy to solve by simply ghosting those in the process of reducing penalties - such an easy rule to implement and it will address the problem completely! I had to swerve out the way of a guy doing it the other day, barely avoiding him

Or by purging them from that rating because they should know better :D

That's the 911 RSR
I'm talking about the road version that set the production lap time (911 GT2 RS) and its little brother (911 GT3 RS)
Yeah, I know Porsche's naming is confusing :dunce:
edit:

Well, to be fair, a lot of people here do complain that their SR gets huge hits in a single race. Granted not all of them deserve that, but the game technically did purge them of their rating :lol: joke I shouldn't laugh about that
 
I started this race in 9th, and me and the guy ahead of me just made our way through all the penalties! Quite amusing.

Just raced 2 race b. The first one was not well due to penalty of my “error” exiting track limit. 👎

The 2nd one started at 3rd (video). Follow the 1 & 2 till the last corner of lap 2. A bump between them and gave me the chance to steal the win. :D

Question to mates: is it my driving too conservative. E.g. the first corner at the start. And I always break 5-10m earlier if I am tracing. Welcome your comment. 👍
I was in the TT p5 in that one. Couldnt believe it when i saw both them ghosted on the final corner...unlucky
 
I started today as DR:A, SR:A.

Run Interlagos a few times, and have been hit from all angles. SR dropped to C after a few races (including a red SR and -3 SR pts on the stats site, despite a clean race bonus???). Had another bad one just now that dropped my SR total to 30 pts and resetting my DR to B, and giving me that glitched 50K DR points thing. I was at about 36K.

Not content with either the DR cheat or the SR drop, I thought id circle around at the back of the GR1 race and get the SR up where it should be, and the DR points down where it should be too.

The lobby threw up an error code at the starting grid, disconnecting everyone. Punished for that too. DR now back down at 20K, DR-D and SR is also D!!!!

Furious!!!
 
Not been here for a while. Just sharing you my best lap in the daily race B around Interlagos. I'm using the Genesis Gr.4, great car, which allow me to win 11 races today :)



Enjoy :p


Good show. I do like the hyundai in this game. Just cant use it like you do.
 
Yes me too, but the brand is mainly underrated. Can't bear to see BMW at top anymore. So ****ing boring. I don't like when it's easy, I don't like to do as everyone else.
Exactly the reason I was driving the Audi R18 in today's GR1 Suzuka race. Usually it was just me and maybe two or three other brave souis in something other than the Porsche 919. The Porsche cup in GR1 is way worse than in GR3...

(nice lap btw 👍:D)

Yes I saw your lap with the R18, congrats! Usually I take the Mazda LM55 but in Suzuka, the gap is too big, I can't race for the lead :(
 
Just finished the most embarrassing race I've came across in GTS. Suzuka, T1 someone went wide, me (and others) went on normally, got penalty. Served, lost a lot of positions. Then in the hairpin I turned normally, not slow, just as the others in front of me. Got bumped from behind, another penalty. This ruined my race (I became almost last from P4 without any reason within 1 lap,) my sunday evening, my mood. It is not about other players this time, it is about a faulty system, POLYPHONY DIGITAL.
I haven't checked how many points I lost, but I want them back. As I don't know of any official GTS support, I just shout out here:
Mr. Yamauchi, Polyphony Digital, your system is faulty. Compensate! And apologize.
 
The solution to the penalties is to go back to DR.B
LPHc.jpg

That's my DR this weekend, every time I start getting the nonsense penalties again I pit in the last lap of the daily C and sit there not choosing tires to finish last and go back to DR.B. Then I can race again for a couple races without worrying about penalties from people rear ending me.

It's kinda fun, fuel for 9 laps instead of 10, surprise the car pitting in front, then pit at end of lap 9, race done, bye bye penalties.

As for competition, it's pretty much the same at max SR anyway. You won't be getting any wins by dropping from DR A to B, still the same fast unreachable (for me) players up front.

But this is not normal. And don't see why it should be "kinda fun". It is a workaround for a faulty system. We paid for it. But this level of "service" worth penalty, not payment.
 
So I finished tonight at Suzuka with what was turning out to be a good race. I put at the end of lap 5 and come out directly on top of another car, he’s going slightly faster so pulls away into T1.

But he’s got the rhythm through the esses all wrong and I overtake him when he comes off the track.

Next lap I’m in a tight train of 4 cars when a yellow flag appears, the car gets back on track and unghosts alongside me. 3 second penalty. Several cars overtake me while I lose it.

Skip to final lap and I’ve caught up to the learner driver again, he takes the spoon all wrong and I get alongside him going into the flat out left handed. I’m inside and I don’t want to use the full width and bump into him so I back off and hug the inside. But I’m ahead. He’s gone way wide and what does he do??

Rams me into the wall at the chicane at full speed. He and 3 cars pass me. He’s finished third with penalties so ends up 6th, I’m not close enough to benefit so finish 7th. Video analysis/name and shame on YouTube tomorrow after he messaged me saying “u started it u div”

Where did you get that chart? I like it
 
Interlagos Gr.4. Took the advise from @Slentom so I'm driving the Genesis. I got bumped in turn 1 on lap 2 and then on lap 3 (last lap) this happened after I had clawed myself back from last ... (I started 7 on the grid)

 
I’m quitting for the day. I didn’t do ****. Really struggled to crack the top 5 at Monza and I dipped from a 17,213 to 15,557. Driving with a bunch of knuckle draggers. It’s the weekend after all.

Some will take you out of the race then apologise by flashing their hazard lights at your motionless car whilst they don't even lift off the throttle.
