I have actually seen them, but in cruise rooms.Gotta love joining a track day room and finding everyone is in either a Red Bull or a race car :/. Shame thats most track day servers really.
Sure, 170bhp when fully tuned, nobody would ever expect it.I want to humiliate immature players. Gotta get a troll car. Hmm... Fiat 500?![]()
It's a "road" car in name only, with the downforce of a GT500 car in a game which doesn't include downforce in it's performance points calculation. I'd expect to be kicked too if I drove that car onto the track.I've joined a 500-550 PP road car race lobby with a R390 GT1 ROAD car... And I got kicked...
He saw me and said that it wasn't a road car and it was forbiden. I told him that it is a road edition a Le Mans car, but they only produced it 2 of them.
And then...
"Road cars are those you can buy them in a dealership."
And I got kicked...
...
... I wonder if they have ever seen the Radical SR3...![]()
Race cars never get any love online. Just a bunch of street car 500-550 PP rooms.

A story from last night (as its kinda over right now...)
In a Nurburgring track day lapping my Abarth 500 "racing". A guy in a McLaren F1GTR (base car) looms up behind. I move off the driving line at the downhill section, and he spins out, hitting the wall, then me.
Not even a sorry, just a "WTF C_E21"
"Wait. You spun out and I get the blame?"
"It was your fault"
"How...?"
"You blocked me"
"I moved off the driving line to let you pass safely. You took too much curb, went on the grass and span out."
"No. It was your fault."
"Okay. Why don't you try full pace going down there, ill watch in spectator mode."
"Fine!"
He roared down... Then span. He drove literally over the grass while on half throttle then pinned it. When I explained that he said "Thanks Vettel..."
"You don't have to be a 4x world champion to see you're a bad driver."
"Race me."
"Okay. Stock Toyota GT86s."
We're both in them and set off. Guess what happens at the downhill section?
He didn't bother braking an hit the wall. I decided to play Vettel's 2013 celebration over the headset.
Why the heck not?
Nice!
Also, what was Vettel's celebration?![]()
Hmm....
... Donuts...
I know just how you feel. I've started 8 rooms since I got GT6, and a grand total of 4 people have joined. Maybe it's my Interwebs connection...Just in case anyone's interested, I've got that Real GT500 Racing room set up. 1472-6399-8966-5887-9849
Room shut down, because like always, nobody joined.
That is one of the largest displays of stupidity and 🤬 I've ever heard of online. But I'm sure all of you have experienced far worseRaced with a bunch of rednecks online last night. It was a NASCAR room at Daytona. I jumped out to a massive lead within the first two laps despite only running ~195-199 at most because of the shoddy default gearing. Everyone was calling me a hacker and threatening to kick me despite the fact that I've never modded the game in my life and I was at full throttle yet not even able to break 200 outside the draft. I had to do some real quick explaining on the keyboard to avoid being booted, telling them that I honestly had no clue how I'd jumped out to such a huge lead.. which allowed them to catch right back up to me, causing me to finish 8th.
So I saved the replay, and guess what? Turns out they were purposely slowing down so that I'd look like a hacker and give the host a reason to kick me. Utter BS.
Nothing that stupid. Far from it.That is one of the largest displays of stupidity and 🤬 I've ever heard of online. But I'm sure all of you have experienced far worse![]()
That's still pretty stupid thoughNothing that stupid. Far from it.
(On a different record) had a discussion with a guy about how old Bugattis were much more worthy of a place in GT6 than a Veyron. It was an okay discussion until he said "It's useful for this" and rammed my Audi TT.
I got Zooey out and just messed with him for a half hour. Stuff like parking up before the chicane and waiting for him to get close, then ghost and when he's in the wall, drive off. Other stuff was sitting at the edge of the pit, see him coming at me, ghost. See his car go into pits, get far away fast.
I also did have (yesterday) an incident when driving my Cappucino around London. Because "Your cars yellow"
A lime green Veyron isn't any better though...
Vaguely related but I still maintain that dirty NASCAR is the best fun you can have with GT, friendos and alkeehole.Has anyone ever gotten a "Clean = Kick" warning? I have. Didn't think it was possible, though I was in a dirty room I guess. I have fun until it gets too crowded. Then dirty racing becomes crash test dummies. "I could slow down just a bit and use the other cars as a buffer to get around the corner faster and maybe push them off, but I think I'll just forgo the brakes altogether and take some guys completely out including myself."
