I must admit I have rage quit a few times. If you start on pole but 2 min later you are last with a large gap, what is the point continuing.
Also, I didn't say all drivers are dirty. There are clearly people who just want to race as well, but in my experience so far, it is really difficult to find a single race where I don't end up in the gravel. All you need is one malicious or unskilled person to ruin your race. From the 10 or 12 race online I've done so far, I think only 2 were clean where I can say I really enjoyed the experience. Most I was pushed off the track early. Maybe it was due to my good quali time and the fact that I ended up in top 5 at the beginning of each race. Maybe if I was starting from further afield my experience would be different. But it seems like being high up the grid in those lower groups makes you a prime target for people behind. It seems it's just easier to shove someone off the track rather than cleanly overtake them. I got to the point where I can't be bothered with online races any more as I seem to be getting down the DR field with each one. And yes, some of these incidents could be lack of skill where people accidentally bump me off the road, but some of them were so clear in the malicious intent that there is no doubt in my mind they were done on purpose. And since basically all you need to get your race ruined and your DR suffer is a single one of those in each race, the experience isn't fun any more.
The tracks changed yesterday, but since then all I've done is set quali time for race B and C. The current combos will be a mayhem I'm sure.
EDIT: done a few races round Mount Panorama and managed to get into DR C. So I'm DR C / SR S. Suddenly my quali time was only good enough for mid field, so I need to put a little bit time into improving it after xmas. In DR D lobby I got shoved a few times. First race in C was a disaster too. I was 6th, ended up last after someone decided I should have a closer look at a wall. Race after that was a disaster too, but that was entirely my fault, made a mistake ended up last, finished 11th.
The last race tonight in DR C was very enjoyable though. I had a close race with another driver. The track is very twisty and narrow, so there was a tiny bit of contact here and there, but nothing malicious. I ended up losing the battle and finished just outside the podium in 4th. The other driver was clearly better, but I managed to stay close and even overtook him once, only to make a mistake and fall back again. He got a penalty at the last lap and I caught up and tried for a desperate move in the last corner, but he shut the door on me and we ended up with a bit of contact, but nothing major. It was very enjoyable though. We both thanked each other after the race for a good fight. I find that when there are no other cars around and you find a good clean driver GT7 online can be quite good. I will try again after xmas.
and SR:A mainly because here at home my power service is the worst and had power failures all thru 2025 which have disconnected me from the few times I tried my hand online and of course it gets identified as me rage quitting so dropped from S to A. But now in 2026 my goal is to reach C maybe B now that I am at a point in my life I can afford time and dedication to make it happen. Already moved to the PSVR2 and what a fantastic experience it has been, and now I’ve ordered my first ever wheel setup to rewire my gameplay skills.
