Is this dirty driving? I was on my racing line and got rear ended and was called a dirty driver. DR+ SR+ CRB.

Karts do not have brake lights, so possibly when you braked/ slowed down for that curve, the guy behind you may have thought you "brake checked " him.
No you were not dirty, the driver behind you was not paying attention to his race.
 
Hi folks, have only been racing in GT7 (with VR) for 6 months and have to say I find it an amazing 'hobby'. Thank you to all of you for the huge impact and advice that I have found on this forum. I have managed to reach DR B and maintain it this week and the advice has been put to good use. Not bad for a 60+ I suppose and proves you are never too old to find a new distraction. :lol:
Welcome aboard!! I'm hoping I can focus on the game more once I retire...maybe then I can go fast. Sadly, and at this rate, 'retirement' may have to wait until I'm, like, 90 or something.🤣

:cheers:
 
Absolutely not dirty driving - that guy needs a bit more awareness
Talking of awareness, I’m really disappointed again with just general driving/racing aptitude. All A/A+ lobby, start 6th, 4th and 5th have a coming together, so following P3, quicker generally but just keeping the pace up.

5th behind me seems to read the room as well and is doing the same as me.

But 6 and 7 well they think they are faster than all of us. Utter muppets.

So the 3/4/5 all get killed, I go to the back and lose 65% of a full SR bar….

I could tell isn’t gonna be a fun one when you are rear ended in to every corner, this is not what I’d expect in high B or A lobbies, there is very very little excuse at that experience level.

Mini rant over, console is off and I’m heading off to the beach see you all from a Sun lounger.

Stay say and race clean peeps 👋👍

It's very annoying with A and A+ guys running in to you - I'm sure some of it's deliberate too, with a little tap that's just enough to put you offline while they try and squeeze past.

Enjoy the beach! 😎

I agree, but it really shows that lack of restraint management or race thinking maturity. It bugs me more than it should.

Thanks mate I’ll hopefully bring some sunshine back for the Shetland’s!

Try not to get bitten but random otters or ferrets or stoats while I’m gone.

Also please keep @TechnoIsLove in check or is ego will be insufferable! 😀

It's an issue in Race B this week. A lot of little bumps and pushes from behind. Impatience or lack of vision (or care) beyond their bumper, I don't know but it's getting to me too. At least it's a fun track, has some nice technical sections that keeps the pressure and resulting reward high.

No, you're not a bad driver. He should have drove faster and let you pass. Guess his ego took over control. Some people just don't learn by being selfish and keeping their position.

Is there a known issue with tire choice before race? I changer to wet tyres during warmup and yet I had RH on when the race started.
That happened to me yesterday, changed to IM during warmup but had RH when starting. Was fortunate though as it stayed dry throughout! Assumed I’d done something wrong, but no idea what.

What? I was in the the front. If was on a straightaway I would have moved over and let him pass. Running in to my rear during a turn is BS.

Watch it at .25 speed... P3 changed his apex at the last moment right into my rear bumper. I had to counter steer to stay on the track. I got SR+, he got SR-.

Yesterday it looks to me that server were acting funny. I had the same tire problem (IM to W in my case). Some cars from some regions "twitching" (is that a word? My english is quite limited) on the track and some qualy times not registering.
Drove me crazy between 8pm and 12pm GMT...
 
Yippee! That's it for me this week as off to a little weekend getaway with the Mrs and our Bruce (dog) but I am pleased to inform @newmedia_dev that I have a little gift for him to stare at for the rest of the weekend 🤣 😘 😜 And funnily enough, I messed up a corner during Sector 2 of the same lap and lost 0.2s - wouldv'e gone into the 49:2's lol

You're fine, don't worry about it. That driver had terrible awareness and just drove straight into you, pen system worked fine. Nothing wrong with your driving.

Chris - if you're going to comment then pay attention to what's really happening, don't just post for the sake of posting, it comes off as confusing and spammy...

To be fair, it took me few minutes to decide whose POV we were looking at. OP wasn't totally clear in the text, and i had to do a bit of zooming to see who was controlling which vehicle.

The glare is so strong in this foreign sunshine and the cheap beer makes it even harder to see, I’m sure it will be important for when I get back. But well done for not getting in to the 1:48s like most of your peers, that must have taken a lot of restraint to hold back so much





🤣 see you all in a few weeks 😎
 
I was making some more qualifying laps in my 458 and looking at my lap time page I saw something I have never noticed before. An asterisk beside one of the lap time (lap 3). Anyone got a clue what it means? I had one session it was beside two of the laps....
