Anyyyyyway, hopefully I speak for many folks here when I say, "More threads with original content would be welcome!"
As long as this thread is going strong there's one less retaliating driver in game to worry about.

You hit him, he hits you back, some guy gets wiped, then some more hitting happened and the red mist settled in. Bad stuff happens in the red mist you know, best to try and stay clear from it. Completely agree.
Well QC-T-bird is still out there with the death beetle. And for what it's worth I do promise to try and keep my cool. Believe it or not I very rarely lose it, which is why I posted the video.
I think what bothers some is that I admit it felt good when exacted revenge. But the truth is it did in real time and I can't pretend it didn't.
But my overall take away from the event was that I was wrong and I need to not engage in such activities if I want to remain in the SRS world.
Well it doesn't bother me at all that it felt good to you, what I don't understand is why this thread is going and going and going. It was one race with a few incidents in it, then you went off. So what?
Hit the track and next time just beat the bugger to the line 👍
The contact itself is inconsequential in and of itself but it is the beginning of a series of incidents and adds to the overall effect.Contact in the last corner. I think we have been over this. So what?
Didn't see that, sorry.Yes I caused the Porsche to spin out. admitted it already. Do you think it counts against me again to mention it AGAIN?
Your intent is determined by the direction you are heading up the track and the fact that he made contact with you twice and changed the direction of your car in doing so. It's quite clear on the video.You can read my intent? I was not intending to leave him a lane, but yet I did leave him a lane? How does that work Are you Famine posting under a different name?
Understood. I just think your revenge is misplaced and you were as big a contributor to the reason for you to feel that way as he was, even moreso IMO.And again as I have stated since the VERY FREAKING BEGINNING OF THIS THREAD I was seeking revenge after he knocked me twice in the previous corner. I have not been shy about admitting this.
Thanks, that's quite the compliment. Not so much for @Famine maybe but I'll certainly take it. Beggers can't be choosers they sayReally, we were both wrong? so you'd say my revenge was petty right? read the title of the thread and thanks for the hard hitting analysis Famine2
I didn't ignore it I addressed them directly. The contact in turn 2 appears to be accidental. As I said he was only on half throttle. Surely if he intended to wipe you out he would have had his foot to the floor. Either way there was no harm done. In the next corner it still appears from your video that contact was made with a car behind him and that might have propelled him into you. A video entirely from his perspective would be most helpful. In any case, you had regained the position within 2 corners and into the corner after that he braked early and avoided contact and then also left you plenty of room in the next corner while he went two wide. You then chose to let your car make contact with his and push him to the outside of the track.You are ignoring pre him hitting me very hard TWICE in succession and POST him hitting me. Everything you say post hits are valid, but it is not a matter of debate as I have admitted it from the very beginning. He hit me and hit him back. He punted me off the track and I punted him back.
Take it any way you like, but I think the whole revenge aspect is misplaced. It's revenge when someone comes out of nowhere and destroys your race and you get back at them for it. This didn't come out of nowhere. In his mind I'm quite certain he thought the same thing as you did when you posted this video. You tried to push squeeze him off the track a couple of times, made incidental contact in the last corner, possibly squeezed him onto the rumble strips (video from his perspective would work here). He was just giving you what for, for driving in what his mind was an unsportsmanlike manner.
You hit him, he hits you back, some guy gets wiped, then some more hitting happened and the red mist settled in. Bad stuff happens in the red mist you know, best to try and stay clear from it. ![]()

Sometimes you have a little SR-S fun money in your pocket though and the wrong guy messes with you and you spend that SR-S excess rating on a little door to door action![]()
I have said before I think the answer to this is even further stratification of the SR points. It is pretty easy to get to 99, yet very difficult to get to DRS.
If the top SR rating was say, 200, and 200 was very hard to achieve people would be continually striving to improve their ratings to get better matches. Also the top rating would be very hard to hang on to. As in at that level even one or two penalties in a race would take you down a few notches.
I was actually all the way down in B for a few races with the Brazilian gang and let me tell you I had forgotten how bad it was down there. Taught me a lesson to not let that happen again. I'll take SRS over that any day.
Funny me preaching that on a thread about me losing my ****. But again that is a lesson learned too. Hopefully next time I will maintain my cool. Although in SRS I am not sure I have had someone blatantly trying to take me out repeatedly like that. The bumps and punts in SRS are almost always easy to chalk up to lapses in judgement and eagerness. Quite often the punter will then slow down and give your position back.
I think both of you are in fault.
He for not knowing his breaking points and not going trough the ''learning'' of basic physics, track-knowledge.
You are in my opinion at fault as well, almost forcing him off track at 50:00 and escalating an situation that you did not have to.
The other guy is just an casual racer that lacks the patience to wait for the right moment for a clean overtake, you doing your whole revenge thing just keeps spreading bad racing ethics in the lover brackets and in general.
You sir deserve as much punishment on your SR that the game is capable of giving you.
This thread is a daisy!
Good fun when on track bumping turns into online forum arguing.
I ran two sport mode races today on GT, smashed off track both times and hung it up.
I then ran 4 hours online Assetto Corsa with dozens of people I've never met and had zero contact.
Folks were even moving over to allow those on hotlaps through.
I don't understand how the aggression manifests so quickly with GT Sport.
OP: Is gmaki your PS4 screen name? Just asking.
If you roll back that race, and let the dude pass you would have every chance to take that place back with honor :-)
Regardless, outside of that I find it an interesting and eye opening discussion. I do genuinely wonder now if more people, like Famine, think that the tiny bump in the last corner is some noteworthy infraction and worthy of the serious retaliation I was a victim of later?
Maybe I have something to learn. but if that is the case then so does just about every single player in the game. Except Famine I suppose who must have never touched another car in his life.
To take revenge is never ever a good idea until watching the Replay closely and by then it is to late.
To ofthen i got killed by a other Driver who tells me that i bumped him and in the Replay it is visible that either i was almost pushed of track because he didnt gave me the Room on the outside of a Corner or not even a Contact happend because it was a other car hitting him.
I got absolutely smashed into the wall by the last positioned in the last manufacturer race because i almost spon him out when i just tried to stay on the track after he got at my inside (i braked to late and got wide) and then at the Exit didnt give me Space. (I was already on Curbs and just tried to stay off the green)
But he in the next hairpin just didnt brake at all and took also risk to hit someone just behind me and just managed to not destroy his race too. I mean we were at the end of the S/S A/S Driver field anyway and there was no reason for this. I contacted him afterwards to watch the replay, but there was no Response at all.
Ist horrible how many of These aggro guys are in the A/S bracket.
I find it comical how some of the more self righteous folks continue to point out how wrong you were - for the things you admitted were wrong in the first place. When my wife apologizes after an argument (very rare - but has happened), I know to just say thank you, and give her a cuddle. I do not go on about what she's admittedly done wrong - that would be relationship suicide!
Just to be certain about your opinion regarding track position though. Would you find it ok to make side to side contact on a straight, as long as you don't force someone off the track surface? I'm guessing your answer is no, and you just got wrapped up in the heat of that battle. I'm all for making someone have to run a line they don't like, but any intentional contact at all is forbidden. If someone next to me holds their line, there's nothing I can do but get close and hope they move over.
All in all, good discussion. I can appreciate when someone is big enough to admit wrong and try to help others learn from their mistakes.
EDIT: If you are getting warnings about double posting why are you continuing to double post??View attachment 704788
You're funny, and quite possibly not long for this (GT) Planet.Oh, that is because I read the rules about double posting and I am not breaking them. Not to mention the only reason Famine started warning me about it is because I was not agreeing with him.

Like I said not a good like for an admin.
4 minutes between posts and just for quoting older posts clearly is a forbidden double-post in every forum I know. Is it really that hard to hit "+Quote" twice and add both in the reply texbox?Oh, that is because I read the rules about double posting and I am not breaking them.

It's interesting you believe yourself to have a better grasp of the rules here than a member of staff.
It's a very simple request: don't needlessly double-post. Responding to more than one person, three minutes apart, is not a good reason; there's both an Edit button and a +Quote button that makes it very much possible to do in a single post.

BTT: I saw the footage of your driving before this whole discussion started and exactly thought, what @dylan86_exe wrote.
Yes, you maybe got hit (unintentionally?) by that guy but then it was you not leaving him any room, forcing him wide and then later, like @Famine said steered into him pushing him off track. Sorry, but I'd rather race with that Beetle driver than with you. @daan's way of dealing with rammers and unfair racers is the only one that acutally teaches them a lesson: race clean and you end up with a better result.
