I must say though, I'm very impressed that he manages to find you so often in a Sport mode race! This reminds me of a guy that targeted me for a week (also a fellow italian) for some reason that he never explained. I had to drop Sport mode and play by myself in public lobbies for a week or two, and then I never saw him again.
Lucky you for never seeing him again. I'm thinking about changing my GT7 "nickname", but the PSN ID will still show so he probably knows me by now. Even if I remove my car liveries and my pre-race welcome message, I think he would still see who I am.
I have a stalker....
I didn't realize dirty driving was this common, with it happening this much the first reply to this thread of making a video with the dirty players PSN is true but I think for different reasons. I've personally raced against an openly dirty players who has messaged me that he was already "internet famous" before I made a video featuring him. That player clearly wants videos made featuring him and he is far from the only one who goes by any publicity is good publicity. Recently I've been making videos less to expose an individual player (although that will always be part of the purpose) but to document as many dirty moves that go unpunished as possible in hopes (not expectations sadly) that Polyphony Digital and Sony see that the dirty driving problem is only getting worse and they do something about it. Until they do something about it I will continue to post videos of dirty driving going unpunished.
What is going on and the complete INABILITY to communicate with PD or Sony make me want to buy an Xbox Series X and jump on Forza Motorsport again.
Because Microsoft DOES something against those players.
In Forza 5, 6 and 7 I always saved replays on my account and sent the details to Turn 10 (the email was, or still is,
forzafb@microsoft.com) with my gamertag, title of the replay, gamertag of the crashers and a text explaining exactly what happened and at what point of the race. They always, ALWAYS, replied, telling me they took action suspending or even banning the players I reported and telling me I could take the replay down.
At one point in FM7, Turn 10 introduced marshals, or marshalls,...mods racing with everybody else and policing lobbies, looking for crashers, kick them out and report them to Turn 10. This was something very helpful in the history of FM. Unfortunately I think the beta program stopped after a few months because they were trying to introduce penalties and it took them a year or two.
I became friends with one of those mods/marshals (unfortunately I can't remember his gamertag) who was always policing multiplayer A and S lobbies. The funny thing is that these marshals could decide to hide their badge next to their gamertags, so players who didn't know them, didn't know there was a mod in the race.
We were always in the same races and he knew I was a clean driver. He trusted me. So I just had to say in the mic "hey -
marshal name-, player X is crashing me", and he immediately kicked the crasher from the race and reported him directly to Turn 10. When many of us had mics in the race it was even easier to spot the crashers and tell the marshal what was going on. Those were the good times.
