Thats better than saying nothing. I lost a victory sometime back coz i got slammed. I was fuming. As i was typing abusive message, he said sorry and i i just replied its ok.
haha, i did the exact same thing. Typing something and got a "sorry". Back space and select "OK" & "play next time". Quit. :D Otherwise, my wife will remind me "it is a game only".:lol:
 
I sometimes go even further and message players on PSN if I wrecked their races, especially if they immediately leave the lobby. Some reply, some get mad but most just say it‘s ok as it‘s racing and errors happen. 👍
I never got any of these messages or apologies after the race tho and usually wait after the race if somebody writes something...

Yet another odd daily race decision. Race C, Gr3 at Mount Panorama, 11 laps. Manufacturers series, Gr3 at Mount Panorama, 11 laps.

Why do they keep doing this identical race madness? They basically have the function to give us 5 unique events but seemingly don' want to. I can only guess PD is made up of people who like to offer you their sandwich on a bus and like to lick the windows after it.

Must be another thing. Like shoehorning gr3 road cars into races. Now they must want people to practice races before manufacturer races.
 
Sorry for off-topic


Please explain. :)
I don't have a problem with people correcting me, but just a 'no' is a bit ignorant...
The only real Godzilla is the R32 GTR ;)
It got that nickname because it dominated touring car races in Japan and Australia in the early 90s.

But yeah, some people tend to call all GTRs Godzilla which is imho wrong :)
 
Just did the Bathurst race in my M6. I didn't place as it was 1minute before entry closed. Started 16/19. Got a 2 second penalty at The Dipper, for rear ending a 911, that probably wasn't using TCS. Anyway, I guess the moral thing is, don't pit. Set fuel again to 4. Rose to 4th place on last lap and let a Viper go by at the end of Mountain Straight. Set fuel to 6 with 0.8laps of fuel left. Cruised to the finish long way ahead of the 6th place car.
 
Of course it isn't enough but it's the best that can done

No. That’s not the best that can be done. Not repeating that deliberate behavior in a subsequent race against myself or anyone else is, otherwise the apology means nothing.

Of course but I thought you was referring to a one-time incident.
 
Just gave daily Brands Hatch a try (I don't know it and don't like it too much), based upon my good experiences of yesterday's daily Interlagos, where I met fair racers in 2 good races. And what happened today? A homie, a fellow hungarian bumped and squeezed me and caused me some penalties. Unpredictable, I know. Just sad.
 
Just finished a couple of daily race C. Currently p1 on the leaderboard with a 2:01.6 (someone faster will beat it later as it was quite scrappy). Best strategy is to not pit, which gave me both race wins very easily.

Also got race win number 50 from 118 races
 
All right, I hope we can find a lobby with strong penalties tho :lol:
Haha,the main thing I struggle to find when browsing for karting lobbies is a room without Slipstream set to Strong :banghead:

So stupid in a kart race to have strong slipstream, and it just kills the racing for me - just coast behind p1 until the final turn, riveting! :P
 
Well back to B rank and S rank sportsman after yesterday's races with the Supra and Civic, one make races are always most enjoyable.

Will be giving the Group 3 and Group 4 races a go later today but juggling GTA Online Hoting races and GT Sport at the moment.
 
I was excited to do some races on Interlaces today, as I really like this track. But oh boy, people behave like 🤬
After 2 races I was done...

First race one guy kept on blocking and defending like a maniac. Resulting in multiple penalties I couldn't avoid.
And the second race.....well, just watch the video!



He must've been mad because he started last, or he simply is a 🤬 idk.
Not only did he ram two of us out of the race. No, he kept on trying to block others and distract them as much as he could.
But the best thing was, he managed to get the fastest lap! :odd: It looks like he managed to do that while cutting as many corners as he could. And he still has an S Rank, what a great Sportsman :yuck::lol:

Btw, I'm glad PD finally made ghosting for lapped cars permanent! 👍



He is a Spanish.. .. case you did´nt notice.... That explains mostly... :yuck:

We could also just set one up by ourselves, maybe some more people of GTP want to join in.
I talked to @Alpha Cipher a few days ago about the lack of a general thread where you could just say you have a lobby open, so it might be a good way to start that :D
 
I like Brand's hatch and Mount Panorama yet don't really have much time to race today. Why are you doing this to me PD! I guess I'll be neglecting other stuff to get some races in. Priorities...
 
I don't exactly want to establish a rapport with muppets like him...
Just kidding :lol:
A legitimate question though: Has anyone actually been affected with the report button?


The theme is: REPORTING!!!!!!

Honestly I´m a complete Noob regarding sharing videos, pictures and so.. on my PS4 to the rest of the world... (absolutely zero experience), SO...

Would an experienced guy on this subject: "REPORTING GTS BASHING IDIOTS" please loose some of his precious time and give me (and others like me... :boggled: ... I know they exist out there :rolleyes:...) some leads on what I have to do to go with such a becoming (more and more) needed procedure???? (as I don´t have the minimum clue about it... :dunce: (I admit!!!!! :bowdown:) )


PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

Been disconnected twice so far today here, only been playing around an hour, perhaps there is a server issue? Get the odd disconnect sometimes but 2 already today seems a little odd.


Happened the same thing to me, and in one race I had just crossed the finish line on 2th and BBBBBUUUMMMMMM!! REsult: -735 DR points & -29SR points!!! What a bummer!!!!!!!

THIS! :lol:
20 more messages...
I'm going to spend the evening practising Brands.


I think that as an excellent choice! :)

Thanks Jacks!! Great help on video sharing! ) I trully appreciate it! .. , this will solve the issue to share videos.. I hope! :) A million thanks! :)

But the main idea is how to report.. on the GTS Report procedure! (Next STEP.. I think) :)

So what´s next??? :)
 
I'd be up for some karting ;)) got a taste for it after Sunday :)

Nurb 24? :lol:

You just click on the name of the offender after the race (in the post-race chat screen) and then click 'report' :)

Edit: no need to share the replays really, just report to PD.

Tahnks, Robben!!

No need to write nothing either???? I´ve got to start doin it!! (Never did before)...

Honesty... does any body has any reliable information that actually this procedure is taken seriously by PD, and they are truly taking any actions for punishments???

Nope, nice and easy. After you click 'Report' there are two choices:

-Illicit activity. (I guess this would include utilising glitches/rude liveries etc.)
-Interfering with race.

I imagine that the race footage won't be reviewed every time, but a certain amount of 'Reports' will trigger a warning or ban. Annoying as people won't get penalized for occasional bad behaviour, only persistent... in which case they wouldn't be in SR/S anyway (IMO, of course).

The annoying thing, for me, is that you aren't able to check the replay before reporting someone. I have wanted to report several people, but could not be 100% sure who the offender was and, frankly, I would hate to report the wrong person. In the heat of the moment, if you have been rammed off track, you focus on sorting yourself out and getting going again as opposed to checking the name of the offender.

Yeah, but I will pay more attention now... just a quick glance is all it takes :)
 
Did Brands Hatch tonight. Raced two times, both qualifying 10th. I made a mistake on the first/final corner before we even hit the start/finish line and ended up at the back of the field. I managed to claw my to 12th, and based on what I was seeing, and catching up to people ahead, I think I would have finished at least 8th if I hadn't stuffed up. Gave it another go. Made another mistake at the 3rd corner, ended up on the grass. Respawned on the racing line and rear ended trying to get out of the way as I became unghosted. Managed to work my way up to 10th before braking a bit too hard and skidding instead of coasting. Back down to 12th..... again :grumpy:. I also had some moron in a green lambo was next to me on the strait and kept side slamming me repeatedly. It's only the second time that I've ever felt someone was making deliberate contact.

No points, no penalties, but my SR is back to 99.
