This is a clip from yesterday's Gr1 race at Suzuka. I was getting bumped in a few corners by the guy behind me. He was on my right side when we were coming up to a right corner, so I braked early to allow him to pass. Unbeknownst to me, as I braked early for him, he had given up being on my right side and got behind me. Due to this unfortunate timing of both our moves, he rammed me in the back and I hit a brake marker and got launched in the air

I could not stop laughing. Have a look below. I made a meme out of it lol

It seems many different Porsches can fly.

Guy needs to learn how to race clean, shocking racing.

Yup, that’s hard to watch. Also shocking that PD’s has done very little to stop it.

The original Forza Motorsport did it very well: Your front end was very vulnerable to impact, resulting in damaged steering for 30 seconds or so(hard to remember!). Sadly, subsequent titles didn’t have this!

I don't see it as PD's fault really, it's just moron drivers. However it would be nice if we could report this kind of driving but I imagine, given the volume of idiots out there, it would be unfeasible for such a large game.

Making the in-game Sr system pick these impacts up and not putting any penalty on the guy in-front correctly is something I've had in the "never going to happen" pile for a long time. iRacing isn't much better apparently and how long have they been at it?

It's annoying, race in private user-made championships instead. It's total bliss.

If PD could implement a championship creator, now that would be an update worth shouting about.

I blame PD, in real life, cars absorb impacts. The billiard ball physics here is not a good simulation of how plastic crumples upon impact with a half-ton aluminum/magnesium beast with 150mph of momentum.
 
I saw a Scirocco fly yesterday at Bathurst - too bad it was during warmup and not the race or else I would've shared it. Looks like two cars tangled out of the pits and the Scirocco was fully accelerating on the grass on the left side of the track before he hit something and I just saw him fly. I wished I could've recorded it!

It definitely is PD’s fault for not knowing that people often act like total morons online since the beginning of the internet. Is it the baboon’s fault for escaping from the cage or the zookeeper’s for not locking it up?

No penalty system is going to be perfect I think. So if that's the attitude then ghosting on at all times. Then PD can be absolved of blame so the "baboons" can throw faeces at eachother and miss.
