Somewhat bizarrely, I've discovered that you can go backwards uphill, in first gear with no throttle, on the start/finish straight in the Shelby at Willow Springs! Just let the car crawl slowly down to the start/finish line, when it comes to a stop it then starts going backwards all the way to the last turn.....
I feel your pain! I have dealt with that, too. I've even lost my temper and retaliated once or twice. When your SR goes down to 16, and you really don't want a reset, you need to avoid those people. After racing from the back at Suzuka most of the week, and being afraid of any contact for the first few of those races, I've learned a lot about dealing with those types. Sometimes they can't be avoided, but many times it pays to just sit back, watch your lines, back way off on your brake points and make sure you are getting a good drive out of key corners. When they go wide...pounce and get a gap. I can't believe where I've been finishing against people that have Q laps 2 and even 3 seconds faster than my best. My racecraft has definitely taken a big step forward this week by slowing down, and calming down in traffic. Eventually those types usually screw up, or take each other out. When they do, you just have to take advantage and gap them enough to be safe before they can recover. Many times they get so pissed that you got by, they screw up again trying to catch you!
Lucky me was allowed to play today I am back at DR B. First race was bad because of a weird start glitch. Anyone ever had this happend?
I always rev the engine at the start because thats just what I do but I did not expect there not being a count down. Standing starts in daily races confirmed?
There are a lot of opportunities for misunderstandings in a race. After a race at Willow, yesterday, a guy who ran into the back of me entering turn 2, then went off the track called me out in the post-race for not knowing how to drive. He said it was the second time I ran him off the track. I don't remember seeing him before that race. I saved the replay, and watched it back.

What I saw was myself doing some off-roading coming out of turn 1, then coming back onto the track just prior to the beginning of turn 2. I was too close to the inside, and swung a little bit wider to get a better angle for the turn. I didn't realize it, at the time, but he was right there when I moved to the outside. My left rear hit his right front. Watching it from his car's perspective, it looks like I was just ramming him off the track. It didn't look good.
I sent him a PSN message, letting him know that I watched the replay, and that he was right. I explained what I was doing when the contact occurred, and apologized. He said it meant a lot that I took the time to do so, and apologized to me for his post-race comments. He said he hopes that we can race together, again. Next time I see him, I'll be trying to stay at least 500 feet away, at all times.
Ultimately, something that happens in an instant may leave two parties with completely opposite opinions about the incident. That replay looked totally different from the two perspectives. I've cleared up a lot of misconstrued racing mishaps this way. A few times, they've even sent me friend requests afterwards.
#10 on my new profile, lights to flag by 5s in the end, so no one really made a race of it. @Sven Jurgens was also in this race and finished up a few spots I believe.The race also featured a guy who’s given me trouble before directly behind me for the first 3/4 laps, luckily he couldn’t catch me and finally went off near the end and finished in the bottom. Good race overall and a great way to start the evening. 
You can also "Share" any screenshot to social media with the same process - just hit Share Screenshot/Video instead, and pick your preferred social media channel. You'll need to give the PS4 permission to post to your social media too.
