Do you have a video/pic of it?

Here is the wild ride my Viper went on!

I've experienced similar but probably not as wild as this in certain cars at the exact same point. From memory the Gr2 cars and some Gr3 ones don't like that kerb much either. Whereas others can go straight over it like its not even there.

I've done the same thing in my Vette and still managed to keep it on track and not lose too much time. That curb is really funny as sometimes you can take it without the drama and others you're just along for the ride. Managed to squeeze a couple races in at the Trail this afternoon and was surprised how clean it was. No first turn incidents in either race. I'll probably be racing there late tonight as it's one of my favorite tracks.
 
The DT races were sad. I hate it when people pass me then jump in front and slam on the BRAKES. Also, when the car behind tailgate when coming to the "bump you off" err, braking zones.

During my last couple races, I've been moving, where the car ahead is not. Compromises my lines, but I've had enough of the cautious early brakers.
Also the squirmy no TCS users on corner exit.
I'm not talking about when TCS cuts in and out or an MR car gets the braking slide thing.

I've started activating my brake lights, to alert cars behind me. Some still don't get the message and use cars to up their ten pin bowling score.

Like I posted before, Suzuka had it moments and Interlagos does at times. However, Monza is just sad and DT is starting to get that way.

Edit: Oh, here's the best one. A player has "USR YOUR BRAKES" on the rear of their gold Scirocco. Guess what? He goes off at the final chicane at Suzuka and rejoins the track to t-bone my left side. Awesome message, bud.

got my first win for a while at Dragon Trail this evening, was a really good race too - 3rd on the grid, took 2nd in T2 and 1st fell off the track on lap 2 leaving me in the lead. 2nd was slowly catching and got ahead in T2 on lap 4, and we spent the rest of the race swapping places, me getting through twice in the hairpin and eventually holding them off for the win. was really good, went through a few corners side by side but no contact at all.

always ace when people play the game properly

I wish I had saved the replay, but I ROLLED the Au Tom Lexus on the kerb at the 3rd Chicane at Monza.
 
Damage control. Started 3rd. Got turned around at T1. Fell to 14th(last). Charged back hard. Harder than I've ever raced and finished 3rd.

Jumped the 2nd place Veyron in the pit stop. I actually had 0.9laps in the tank on pit entry. It was about 2 seconds ahead and I was 3 seconds ahead by T1. Did have a good exchanged with the RCZ, after he/she gob the message we didn't have to fight over positions. Just pick a line, hold station and we gap the cars behind. Worked billiantly.

Dang, Dragontail in GR.3 was so much fun good thing to not racing almost a week then make a full 7 hours race in Daily B :O Using M6 in here is really fun but hard to chase RCF, RS.01, and RSR can get 1 win and lot 2nd and 3rd. Just if M6 didn't have any spin after cornering maybe I can get 2 or 3 win.

He didn't even try to slow down. That was truly DIRTY!

I'm determined to de-bunk this meta business. Fell to 7th at T1. Pitted at end of lap 6(0.4laps left in the tank), using Full Power the whole race.
Edit: I just noticed. The "OyVey"rons change their tyres. Well, that's no meta if you ask me.

That was your first win? I'd have thought you had a collection of wins 👍. With your old favourite, the NSX I was able to go with no tyre change and didn't need to pit for 2 laps more than most of the other drivers, and that was shifting at the redline. The fastest cars in my race were Vipers, they beat the Veyrons.
 
Had a decent run in Race C, trying to use the most un-meta car in grp 4, the Citroen...won the non-veyron race in 9th, pitting at the end of lap 6 with full revs after having a nightmare of turn 1. Best pass of the race started with an outside run into the last corner, switching to the inside and getting them into turn 1 clean. Not bad for a B/S driver in a room of A/S and A+/S

Started the game over.

Yeah,At the moment, I'm using V8s only. I think an NSX did a no stopper the last race just then. Finished 2nd or 3rd.
Was a turd of a race. A player typed a "bunch of idiots" message. The Veyron users were out of control in this one. I was in an SLS.

Had some pretty good races this week at Tokyo, Sarthe and DT Seaside. Now my DR is higher than it’s ever been. I didn’t think I had the potential to reach A+ but I’m knocking on that door lately. Thanks to all those I raced with this past week, some epic battles were had and many new friends were made.
 
Just about to knock .6 of a second of my time at dragon trail and do a 37.4 about 3 seconds from the line the game takes me to the race. So much sad right now
 
I joined the Monza weekend madness again today and survived!!

The lowest my SR dropped was to 81 where I promptly got this

That was a boring race though, not sure why my door number is 9, yet I won with over a 20 sec gap, my lap times were 2 sec faster than anyone else. Matchmaking at its finest, but I'll take it!

I did get a more exciting win later, fun battle for first until I lost him in the last couple laps.

That was a fluke at max SR, I found another gap in the alien schedule. (1:30 race was booked again)

The rest I had the pleasure of starting 8 to 12th with a 100% chance of getting rammed in T1 and 30% chance of ending up with a penalty for it. This is your typical Monza start, one where I escaped a penalty

I usually made it back to top 5 even when punted to last and SR drops from T1 penalties were only a few points. Still a red S from getting rammed in T1 ugh. Perhaps I'm driving too careful and the game thinks I'm brake checking in the turn? It certainly seemed that the dive bombers always got out with success, only to hold everyone up for the rest of lap 1. Congratulations you overtook 5 cars in T1 and now you can't hold the pace, surprise.

Of all the dirty moves PD really needs to end penalty serve blocking. It's everywhere now. Shave off a bit of penalty and block or steal momentum from the car behind and or give them a penalty when they have no where to go. I got hit with it twice tonight. First one slammed on the brakes, ghosted, then lifted off right as I was almost on his bumper, braking and steering away. His plan to steal momentum failed since I was trying to avoid him, instead I pit manoever him which earns me 10 seconds.
The other one was on the straight to T1. I had 2 cars on my left and the car in front suddenly brakes at the 300 sign, mimics my movements and unghosts right in front of me. He used the bump to skip T1 entirely. The game gave me a 3 sec penalty and reset him after the chicane, free to go on ahead of the rest of us. He quit later after he racked up a bunch more penalties. On KP it's one of those profiles that should not have access to SR.S

Against the odds I managed to race and largely stay and end at SR.99, 3.5K DR up, and certainly not a boring night. However the quest for a clean T1 from mid field is still unfulfilled.

That's easy for you to say. I hate today's entire aschedule. There was no fairness in it and denounce it forever!
 
Justice! I was passing the Slophy around the outside of the fast long left-hander. Plenty of room andv he bumps me and I lose momentum.
I kept the pressure on and gob back micro seconds. Last chicane, last lap, the pressure was too much. He goes off on his own. I grabbed that spot think you, Mr Softee... Err, Slophy.

You pushed him off at 2:40.

If you type someone's name here and say they're dirty or cheating, it gets indexed by search engines. Now they're being abused on the world's largest Gran Turismo (and racing game) website and anyone searching their username on Google gets directed here where we're calling them dirty cheats, and it becomes our (the staff's) problem. And that doesn't go away. We don't like people bringing their dramas here.

If it's a video, it doesn't get indexed by search engines. If you put it in the video description it will be, but that's Youtube's problem, not ours.


So long as you're sticking to our rules when you're talking about the video, that's fine.

But beware that a lot of people have posted videos before purporting to show other drivers behaving badly and ended up being pulled up by the community on their own driving instead. Make sure you're beyond reproach.
