Hello,
I am writing to express serious frustration with the current penalty system in Gran Turismo 7 Sport Mode.
At the moment, the system is clearly failing to deal with dirty driving. Many players are deliberately crashing into others in corners or hitting cars from the side or from behind, and very often they receive no penalty at all. Meanwhile, the innocent driver ends up losing positions or even the entire race.
This completely ruins the experience for players who are trying to race cleanly. It is extremely frustrating to see aggressive drivers destroy someone’s race in the first corners and still finish on the podium without any consequences.
Personally, last week I did ten races and in every single one I was hit by other drivers who used these tactics. My race was ruined while the drivers responsible continued normally without penalties.
Many players invest significant money in sim racing equipment to enjoy a serious racing experience in Gran Turismo. When the online races become chaotic because dirty driving is not properly punished, it pushes players away from Sport Mode and even from the game itself.
A major improvement to the penalty and collision detection system is urgently needed. Players who intentionally cause contact must be clearly identified and penalized. Otherwise, the quality and credibility of online racing will continue to deteriorate.
Gran Turismo has always represented fair and respectful racing. The current state of Sport Mode does not reflect that philosophy anymore.
Please take this issue seriously and consider implementing a significant update to the penalty system.
