I want to race on line and have fun, but I find that all these guys want to do is cut the track and run into you so they can be first. Losing is ok with me but losing because someone knocked me off the track is not ok with me. How do you stop these things from happening and what do you do?
 
Look for rooms that have stricter rules eg clean racers only that type of thing. Add the good ones as a friend.

Check out the online racing sub-section of the forum , lots of friendly clean racers there.
 
You can set up your own room and have damage set to heavy, penalties to high, and have the grass/sand traps to real and that should eliminate most cutters and rammers.

Join/Start Racing Leagues, start your own lobby, or race with your mates. I don't do much online, unless it's for racing leagues.

This can be a bit pessimistic, but this can make it a bit worse. Heavy Damage & Heavy Penalty will encourage more aggressive and dirty driving, and can be easily exploitable. But the Realistic Off-track Terrain Traction is mere useful, but can anger kids quite easily. On the other hand, If you have a strict & controlled lobby, then It can be avoided. Just wanted to tell you that for a sec 👍

Look for a room that had "clean" somewhere stated in the title or something along those lines, it is very hard to find a room where everyone is racing clean but not impossible. If you every see one of my rooms or GTP stated in the title join that room for an almost guaranteed clean race.

all good advice... for starters you could add all the people who answered your post, chances are, they are looking for the same thing. I know its tough to find clean racers, but trust me when I say, once you find some cool people to race with "GT life" will become a memory.

Click on the link below to have a look at our series!
All our drivers are clean and carefull drivers as we dont tolerate bad driving,also we dont tolerate corner cutting,There are tickets and prizes to be won even if you dont come first.
Take a look and let me know what you think via PM.
 
I might as well promote our League/Ladder here as well.

Legend of the Streets on my signature. It's based around Initial D street racing. Mainly 1vs1 and it's very competitive.

We go on full damage without penalties, and with full tyre wear on on sports hard tyres. And we aren't constraint to having to be online at a certain time. Just as long as you are online and one of the other players are online, you can send them a challenge. And submit your results and it'll be recorded into a spreadsheet. We've got a rating system where players rate other players on their behaviour, cleanliness and attitude.

Come and have a look. :)
 
I too, will soon wish to start hosting clean on line races,

questions:

  • how easy is it to ban users if they don't cooperate? Must I write down manually?
  • please someone suggest a decent communication device. need be bluetooth?
  • should I restart race within a few moments if I suspect foul play?
  • anything I should know as a good host, to make it fun for those who want clean races?

see you all soon, mainly Saturday and Sunday mornings, from 7am EST to 12pm noon.
 
I regularly host races with a 500pp limit and Clean racing is in my room title.

In my experience there are many who also want to have a fun clean place to just have a good time.

The people who join and are respectful of others are added as friends and the ones who are there to be rude, disrespectful, not fair are banned.

Very easy to boot a bad egg. just click on their name and reject player. I also block them from ever coming back.

Online is the only way to go for me. Always something new and have met some good racers and good people.

dwarf41s is my screen name.
