How is that any different than someone claiming that anyone with a (Insert country name here) Flag are dirty drivers?
Answer, It’s not.
Changing the paint color is just so complicated.
Since i started playing online on GT5, there is and there will always be one sure thing: Monza is a wreckfest.
People trying to overtake you in the strangest ways, people that probably forgot their brakes at the pits and therefore send you to heaven in turn one, people that do everything they can to prevent you from overtaking (The other day I literally saw one player that, when he was overtaking after the parabolica, got bumped so hard that he was sent into the pitlane).
I only race on Monza so i'm pretty used to all this stuff, i don't even get mad anymore;
If i'm in a lobby with more than 8 players, i don't even attempt a pole lap because i already know that i'll end up in the back, i prefer starting from the back and calmly make my way through.
Today, as i was racing in a Gr.3 BoP Race, almost 2 seconds ahead of the others, i got bumped.
"Strange", i thought, no one was behind / beside me, nor did i spin out, so what happened?
Took my loss, saved the replay and when i went to watch it, i saw this:
Strike, i guess
Ahem.....cough cough a "friend" .............cough..... told me......... ahem............. about this ....... cough ahem cough cough...
Tried to be a smartass and start at the back on hards, when race starts go straight into pits to change on mediums (before you cross startline) and do the whole race on mediums - GENIUS!
Ummmmmm, until you drive straight through the pits and come out 10 seconds behind last place on same hards you started with...
Ahem... like I say, a friend told me about this, ahem, cough cough.....

What position did you start from? I have only seen one Atenza with a better qualifying time than me so I keep getting lined up behind 10+ GTRs and some other odd cars. One on one, I could probably beat the GTR with my Atenza if he or she pulls me around the track and I wait for their mistake. The Atenza is easy to put where you want, but it’s slow exiting the chicanes and cannot pass on the straights.I took a second in the Atenza that would've been a first except I tried to mow the grass on the outside of Lesmo 2 a couple times.
Careful what you wish for. Have a look at the activity
.
I find the opposite works for me. With my driving style, there is no way I can make a set of mediums last 7 laps.
I started 4th (I did my quali in the GTR like everyone else, but I like variety) and used the superior brakes of the Atenza to get into 3rd (cleanly, though obviously risking a dive bomber) at T1. First and second towed me around pretty good of course and I got passed them under braking / in penalty zones etc. I was holding onto first until I started playing lawn mower.
That was amazing. Best Monza turn 1 punt I've ever seen
Now there's the third case which is the one in the video 
Did i say in my earlier post that a few days ago i saw a guy get bumped into the pitlane during a race? I found out that i saved the replay of that "race".
Little background:
Half past midnight, extra dirty lobby ran by a Gentleman and his 4-5 friends, plus us other poor guys that decided to join that lobby.
They couldn't make a single clean lap, in all the 6 or 7 races i took part in, there were people ramming each other, cutting every single turn and getting 30 years penalities. Best thing about this lobby is that the grid order was decided by the host, so i always started from 10-12th position and had to make my way through that HELL.
There was a Gentleman in the black Citroen GT who was part of that "crew" and one in the RSR who was just a random guy (who actually drove pretty well and i had a few pretty nice battles with him).
So what happens?
The Gentleman in the black GT decides that the RSR shall not pass, therefore proceeds to "politely" force him to mow the lawn.
Guy in the RSR decides that the favour should be returned.
I personally think that no one should answer back to these "gentlemen", but that handmade drive-through penalty was smooth as hell.
PS: The livery you have doesn't mean anything. Anyone could be a dirty player.
I am not a dirty player and i go around with a Chrome GTR with a "Let me pass ya tool!" sticker in the front bumper and a "How's my driving? 1-800-I DON'T CARE" sticker in the back, a Chrome Ford GT with a "Warning, i drive with a controller" sticker in the front bumper and, last but not least, a Citroen GT with a Nutella livery

I have been doing well with the SLS. Fantastic fluoro orange fanta livery
. Stuck with qualifying at 48.6 for now as I keep refusing to settle down and improve. As long as you get through turn 1 it is ok. I still lose out to GT-Rs on the straights unless I am within 1.1 though. It really handles the slow in fast out method well and so I have been gaining out of the chicanes plenty. Lesmos are a different story, they take some balancing. 
Everyone in the lobby was on RSS

GT Sport in Italian language displays "CsSM" - "Corsa Super Morbide" = "Racing Super Soft"
I just try my best not to touch any other cars, because if you get bounced into a wall, you could end up with a 5 second penalty.
