im not a fanboy
I've decided to make a list of everything in drag rooms that I consider annoying. Feel free to contribute. Maybe people will read this and hopefully commit less of these irritating acts and make racing online a more organised and fun activity for everyone.

When people use aids except abs
When people turn off abs
When people line up next to you in an unfair car and wont move for anyone at all
Said person then waiting, revving and or beeping because no one will line up with them
When people flash lights as ghoster
When people use tire turning as a '3 2 1 go' starter
Excessive horn beepers
When people ask for my hard worked tunes
When people expect me to help them because I am fast
When people don't take no for an answer
When GTR people beat you off the line and block you
When people say a time when there's clearly a ghost
When people try to guess the ghost and mislaunch multiple times before a race
People you beat that crash you into the wall at the end of the Indy strip
People who join a room clearly titled 1/4 mile 600-1000 drag and do top speed runs
People who join a drag room and sit there on the track watching and not racing
People who join a drag room and drift instead even though the title is clearly stated as a drag room with no bs
When people return down the drag lane and or smash the whole line of people away

You forgot to all those idiots who bring out the X1s.

I always make my rooms have maximum of 1035hp and minimum of 910kg. If someone whose been alright brings out a race car, I'll politely ask them to change, but otherwise I see, I kick.

If I join a room and see anyone in anything like Veyrons, LMP cars, X1, FGTs I instantly leave so that issue doesnt really phase me, but I can understand the frustration.. Its boring to win using a fast car against slow ones.. I'm always using slow cars and trying to beat fast ones :P

Im like that too lol lining up next too ACR's with my Cobra or R34. Sometimes I win most of the time I lose. Like today I ran some guy driving a Aventador with my R34. Out of 6 runs the last run he beat me by a bumper then goes off saying dude your car is slow... wtf are you kidding me u kept loosing to a 2.6L V6 with your doubled the engine car. He got more pissed when I told him he won cuz I let go at the end lol ;)

For me its mainly lining up my Amuse S2k GT1 againts everything and anything. haha the crazy launch gets people.. it had some close runs with kenny's svt at indy. I also like to line up my GTS againts ACRs, GTRs, Aventadors and LMQs.

Also I hate those people, haha If they call my car slow for just beating me I tell them that their car should win. I then proceed to bring the same of that car and floor them :D. (common case with Skylines and Vipers)
 
What about the over testosteroned host who's power hungry and feels he has power over everyone in the room. And will kick anyone who disobeys his wannabe laws in a video game....THAT'S what really irritates me.

:lol: my laws are no aids and must be road legal also thou shalt not commit OP crimes..
 
When people say a time when there's clearly a ghost

This one bugs me the most, and idiots who totally disrespect your lobby rules.

PD don't help matters either. A lobby rules page wouldn't go a miss and the ability to limit X1s like you can with the Ferrari F1s and Go karts should have been done in 2010 in my opinion. Its a joke how X1s are not limited.

Another thing that bugs me is the constant disconnections and freezes. They need to sort there servers out.

Your s2k is a beast bro.👍

It annoys me when the host doesn't maintain order in the room. If your room says no bs then it should be that way.
 
How about when nobody wants to be the ghost, everyone wants to race. I also hate when three or more people line up at the same time.
 
Also when the guy behind you tries to ram you off the line because they want to race next. Try that 🤬 in line at McDonalds and see what happens.
 
Also people that are the ghost and don't stay ghost long enough for the racers to pass through them, Stay ghost until the cars are gone or allow any cars from a bad start to back up through you to the line.
 
An opponent gets a good/better tree and wins, "gr" but when he gets a bad tree, uses the excuse he lost because of tree. Sucks for people that may have good tunes but will never really know because they don't have a good reaction time or just lags.

More funny then irritating, someone who is so used to winning and talks a lot but suddenly keeps quiet with a loss. Almost seems like a sore loser but probably more shocked. They acknowledge every win they get then shuts up when they lose.

On this (and the GT-R driver bit in the OP)...

When someone consistently beats you on the tree (not outlaunches you), then cuts you off because they're far enough ahead to get away with it. Then decides your car is slow when, with an even tree, they'd have lost.
 
Ive been accused of spectating and stealing this certain persons tune one day and was asked if i wanted to join his team the next day lol obviously said no and blocked him.
 
lol, you can't "steal a tune" by spectating. You can see what their car is doing and try to match it, sure, but you can't steal a tune that way.

This is infuriating for me. I instantly kick people for that, no matter the cause. If they got bashed into me then I kick the original basher.

Another thing that irritates me is when someone gets hit and rages by doing donuts where the line should be, ramming multiple innocent people who waited patiently to race.

When someone beats you once and then won't race you again because they think they're "Too Good"

Sometimes this can be okay, like when you're in a very fast car and they're in a very slow car and they got to line up first. There's no point repeatedly slaughtering someone, it's better to let someone else have a turn. If this ever happens I try and temporarily become ghost.
 
A little thing that irritates me, although only applies to tunnel and Route X drags. You get the better launch and acceleration and, as you're pulling away, the guy behind tucks in behind you, despite the fact that there's no draft physics in free roam. Even worse is when he does it too soon and spins you out, he speeds off and claims he won!

EDIT: Forgot another peeve - The "Big Claimers". Had a guy pop into a room I frequent for freeroam Route X drags and draft racing, his first words being "bring out any car you want and I'll beat it on top speed with my Black edition GTR"
Myself and the room owner knew he didn't stand a chance against my 274mph SL600 and his 268mph SL65, so we hit the line, and left him for dust after around 150mph. He claimed it would do 280mph, yet despite this "fact" we left him on the horizon in our mirrors twice before he spat his dummy out and left the room.

Reverse blocking haha, it's like if you go bowling and you do a 🤬 throw and you like try and telepathically steer the ball with your hands.. That problem is worse at Indy because they then bash you into the end wall.. And I hate crashing (regardless of damage being off)
 
I think I may be slipping into old age, (34) as I find myself yelling at the tv "you can sit on my bumper all you want mate, but it won't make your pile of junk any faster!!"
I also find myself some of them sometimes by matching their speed and half-throttling for a bit and then floor it and fly away. (I also used to do this in real life on my motorbike with the moped kids)
