Got a relatively good story this time.


Join a '20-Lap Enduro - 500 PP' room on Monaco with the intention of using a Civic Type-R done up like the Toudou School one from Initial D. I get out, run around for a bit while figuring out whether the setup I'd worked on myself needed any adjustments (which it didn't.) Everyone else is in NSX's and the like, and I'm just running around.

Qualifying starts, and I set the fastest lap (something in the way of 1'40:xxx) while everyone else is nearly 2 seconds slower. Host starts ranting about how 'no measly little piece of 🤬 ricer boy trash should beat these cars' and a few other take up the cry.

Host then changes PP to 600, and I stay in the Civic - I wasn't going to change, I was going to run the car no matter what, just to prove that I could do so. Everyone else is in LFAs, Lamborghinis, GT-Rs and other cars like such.

Qualifying is done again, and I'm 4th out of 12 people this time, with a nearly identical fast lap as previously.

Host starts the race, and I quickly find out that they can't handle the power of their cars. I'm following the lines with precision, while everyone is crashing into the walls because they have too much power for a narrow street course (and the only places they'd best me would be heading up the hill, the tunnel back straight and the front straight.)

By lap 8, because I started on Racing Softs rather than my preferred Racing Hards by mistake, I switched to Racing Hards because I knew it'd be easy to win (they had to constantly pit every 3 or 4 laps because they were wearing their tires out so much.) Ended up winning by around 2 seconds or so, there was one driver (who had started at the back) who was very competent and skillful who did give me quite a challenge over the final 2 laps.

Host gets all angry after I won, and challenges me to a 3-lap duel with GT-Rs on Mt. Panorama. He goes with the R35, I pick an R32 (again, done up in the Initial D style of Rin Hojo). I didn't try to pass him at all, I just stuck to his bumper and waited for him to make a mistake and lose the race.

He did that in short order (end of the Conrod Straight on the first lap and again on the third.) Before I could say or do anything else, I got the boot.
 
Was just in a "drift" lobby on Suzuka with the usual silly settings of FR only, Comfort Hard tires only, all but ABS prohibited and as usual everyone was only drifting through the esses in both directions whilst I was doing full laps in a V12 Vantage, as you would expect it was extremely difficult to keep it drifting or even control from wheel spinning and because I was doing full laps I ended up coming face to face with the people going the wrong way through the esses which meant crashes because neither of us were able to get out the way...

They aren't silly room settings...
RWD and comfort hards are too keep everyone at a similar pace and allow for cleaner tandems.
This is keeping the room free of people that think going as fast as possible with a super car with the grippiest tyres while drifting is better and blatently pushing people out of the way instead of using track etiquette.

Plus if you joined the room after the majority of people were doing the esses already in both directions and you choose to not join in and keep going in the one direction it is actually you at fault.

To me the rules were silly because there was no mention of the tires in the title of the room just the word "drift" and it is not that hard to drift on sports hard tires and the reason I chose to do full laps because there are more places to drift of Suzuka than just the esses plus I didn't even notice they were doing the esses the wrong way until I came back around after the second lap when I had a bunch of cars heading straight for me sideways... If the host had actually been bothered they could have said "Hey we are only drifting the esses in both directions" then I would have joined in with them...

It's hardly a bad experience really, ARV. If they'd done it deliberately then yeah. But that was a misunderstanding on your half.

Well they were talking to each other via text and voice, but oh well its over now plus I'm not too great at drifting on comfort tires, I prefer sports tires for that.

Plus could be worse could be some(probably) child having a go at everyone in a lobby because they couldn't drive for toffee and kept crashing into everyone blaming it on the person they crashed intos "talk-talk internet"...

I agree, the only problem is some of us race clean and respectfully. What we really need is some type of reputation system regulated by Sony, so we can't get flagged by trolls. That way, if you're so low, you can only join rooms with other people that low.

Well, we could have a system like the "Good/Bad Sport" system like in GTA 5, for example if you finished jobs and actually behaved yourself online (not like it really worked that well), you would gain periodic rewards. However, if you destroyed other players' Personal Vehicles and backed out of jobs halfway through, then you would be labeled a "Bad Sport" and would be banned to play on servers with other Bad Sports. I'm not sure how this can be applied to GT though.

Before you join a room it actually says what the restrictions are. But you joined anyway.

A RS tune could be good on RS tires and suck on everything else. A properly tuned car will be good on any tire and only need to be stiffened up as you go higher in grip.

Then most tuners don't know what they are doing because almost all tunes I have tired are horrible at Bathurst on RS. The cars become skittish and unpredictable being far harder to control than on CS tyres. Its a great shame so many people think RS tyres are a great way to race, it reduces the racing to most stable car wins.

Yep.

It's even worse when you drive a KTM with RS.

I completely agree, that's why all of my tunes are on sports or lower. Racing tires are for racing cars. It seems like with racing tires that the front has so much grip that when you turn the back always comes around. That and they seem as if they're cold. There's no weight transfer to deal with because the tires soak it all up. sport soft tires still have loads of grip and allow for car behavior to still shine through.

I've said before that racing tires only seem to work on racing cars because they have tons of downforce and are really stiffly sprung.
 
Just got off, and it seems as though there are droves of 11 year olds that cuss like sailors and whine when you win. And they're all drawn to me...

Call of Turismo?
Turismo of Duty?
 
Seriously. Here is a sentence. All curse words are cencored, and no joke:

"You 🤬, you :censored:ing 🤬!!! You are a 🤬 hacker you son of a :censored:ing 🤬! "

Enough is enough, guys. Come on! No names, as I'm pretty sure it's against the rules to post a name for shaming.

Which rooms were you in? I was in a 500pp clean room with some 10 year olds. They all yell at me and say that I'm a hacker, a noob, a scrub, and (insert expletives here) countless other names. After that, they asked the host to kick me, as usual. (I was in my 250GTO, great car for 500pp! I challenged them to a 3 lap race of Silverstone Grand Prix (my favorite track), and won by 30+ seconds (they both DNFd). During the race, they were constantly yelling at me and calling me just an idiot (and all of the above). It didn't work. Oh the joys of seeing the host kick them both after that...

Mine was a "Just cruise" lobby turned drag strip. I won in the just cruise part, and they got pissed. It was on Silverstone "The Stowe", and they thought power = win. My Elise proved them wrong.
 
It's interesting how if you win by a lot in a racing lobby you get called a hacker and get kicked even if you weren't in a hacked car, but go to a cruising/car show lobby with an actual hack and you'll have people begging for it and get around 10 friend requests for one car.
 
Just kicked because I drove a Muria. The host thought it was "too old to be against us".
 
It is. Why can't I drive a classic sports car that can rival supercars (given that the driver is bad enough), even though that I'm not doing anything wrong?

I was also just kicked for defending my position (making it hard for cars to overtake, NOT blocking), as the host said that was "against the rules of GT6". Everyone else was doing it (this was a 500pp Sports Soft room)...

I see that they are traumatized with Miura's performance. :lol:
