Yeah, it's generally a better idea to put the long message in the message box and put a succinct summary in the title. And to, you know, follow the rules by which you just agreed to abide.


That aside, there's also a couple of misconceptions you've got going on.

Daily Races don't have servers (beyond initial matchmaking). They employ a mesh peer-to-peer system: players' consoles are both the servers and clients.

More notably, it seems that you think - by the textspeak "u" - that we're somehow responsible for any of it. GTPlanet is not the developer nor publisher of Gran Turismo (and I'm pretty sure we're not a multimillion dollar company), but an independent media site and forum.

PlayStation support often directs people here - but we have absolutely no connection to them whatsoever.

A surprisingly large number of multiplayer console games use something similar. Fixed servers are incredibly uncommon in the console space, though GT7 does use them for the official World Series online events (when they actually happen, which hasn't been for a while now).

And to repeat:

You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.

your correct about fixed servers being common but there is usually no time limit anywhere , sorry for coming off harsh though its just most of these races arnt clean and the downtime makes me cold from the race prior, i guarantee im not the only one thats said this either , if u have any connection i would pass this on for the next game
