I'm tired of players not fair play!

SR S from Oct til last week was actually pretty good, this past week was diasterous, doesn't matter what DR, SR S has been a mess with all the dirty racing.

This is my exact same observation. I have the same feeling. As if all the less clean drivers somehow reached SR S over new year holiday. It is horrible.
But i found out yesterday, to play 10 Lap races is a lot better than the sprint races in terms of fairplay. Dirty drivers cant win in 10 lap races against 19 other good drivers. But in 4 lap Races they can.

Generally I agree on the 10 lap races. The problem is when you start lapping opponents - some are quite aggressive "defending" their position. There should be something similar to blue flags / different arrow color to indicate when you have to make way. Yesterday I won two places in the last lap by my opponents being taken out by some random lapped bloke who wouldn't let anyone take his 14th place without some paint

Yes i only won the 2 Races because i didnt pit and safed tires. In 1 Race a other SR A or S player in front of me blocked agressivly. He didnt bump me since i didnt even get beside him. But on the straights where my Mustang clearly eats his Mazda for breakfast he didnt let me pass by driving S lines. When ever i tried to go left or right he mirrored my moves to block me. Thats not fair at all. If you are good you can get back in lead in the next corner, braking zone or straight. If you are not good enough you have to let go the other driver after blocking once. Just my opinion.
Driving in the middle of a straight and then doing S lines to block makes other drivers agressiv and leads to frustration and at some point it might end in a friendly bump to make clear that soon it ends with a bigger bump or a dive.
This kind of blocking makes both slow and others wil catch up and the chaos begins, because the flow of the race gets interrupted by this kind of blocking.

I have replays for about 20 races over the past 2 days where I was punted off the track. At one point I was DR:B SR:S, within about 10 races I was all the way back to DR SR:S. Most of the crap happened in yesterday’s Alsace race. As I sit here right now, I just finished a Willow Spring race wher I was in 8th place and got punted on the first turn on lap 11. He finished 8th, I managed to claw my way back up to 9th. Its frustrating but unless (or until) the rating/matching system changes, there’s really no use in getting all bent out of shape over thing that are out of your control.

Boy, that willow daily the other day was a peach.

Yeah, most of the races I was in were like a battle of attrition. Whoever could manage to stay on the track and avoid being punted placed in the top 10.
