I entered the 00:10 (ET) FIA Manufacturer's Cup Race at Dragon's Trail. I was hoping to have fun, if not do well... it's a nice track that the 911 is fun on.
However, things started going to hell as soon as the rolling start began -- when the camera was still on the front row. When the camera finally switched to my driving view, it was a parking lot, and I was in REVERSE!! Obviously I'd already floored the accelerator and when I saw cars stopped in front of me, I was trying to turn before realizing I was in reverse. So I wound up last... then half-way through, I got run off the track twice... first time I just thought he was an idiot, but the second time I knew he did it on purpose cause he had to slow down and wait for a long time for me to catch up after the first crash.

I was getting annoyed at races with Street tires (it's racing FFS, give us super sticky racing tires!) and now this ********, and nowhere official to report it all.

The race replay is shared in-game, titled "Ruined Point Race", keywords ruined & race.

I was in that race too. He is the one who caused the whole parking lot incident from my replay. He intentionally slammed the brakes and put it into reverse the moment he got control of the car.

I didn’t have a problem like that, but something strange happend to me in the Lago Maggiore Nations Cup race.
I started with half of my left side tires on the grass, and, as soon as I got control of my car, the car just went left into the wall. From sixth to last in one second.
 
Same happened to a lot of us last night in both races, I was lucky to escape the nation's one but not the manufacturers race
 
I had something similar happen in the Nations race last night. It went from the intro directly into the race and some people were completely stopped and others (luckily me :)) were rolling. I advanced 5 positions before turn 1. On another note, whoever thought the I3 was a good idea for the Nations race should be punched in the face. It was awful!
 
Sounds weird. I started in the wrong gear in the Gr.3 race at Dragon’s Trail so I spun right at the start. I have seen some weird starts in Sport Mode but not in the FIA races.
 
OMFG! If I hadn't just watched it, I probably wouldn't believe it!
It's from the Nations Cup, Round 6, that mixed Gr.4 and Gr.3 cars at Mount Panorama. I was lucky, being at the front and ahead of the mayhem that ensued, but after seeing the video, the one causing the mayhem can hardly be blamed!

Time tag doesn't work, so skip forward to 4:15 for the picture-in-picture that shows the other point of view.

That video evidence is good insight on the network code.
Funny video, he appears to be wreckless in the matrix, but in his reality he was dodging the lagged cars he saw in his reality and so doing the opposite and trying to avoid collisions. Goes to show that the perspective we see can lie to us when we convict someone of wrong doing...Lol smh
"No one can be told what the matrix is, you have to see it for yourself"
 
Hahahahahaha sorry...
I keep imagining how his victims felt at the time, and how clueless he was while wrecking everybody.
