That is just ridiculous. Rear end contact like that has been good for 1 or 2 second pens. How transparent has PD been about penalty updates?

Finally got to DR A today, now how long can I stay there!!
Usual mixed bag at monza, some good races where drivers leave space and then also the other type where drivers just drive through you like your not there. Obviously no penalties.
CRB streak at 11 at Monza.

If you struggle with the R2 accelerator set-up, you could try mine - left stick for steering, right stick for go/stop. I found it a really easy transition from the old D-pad controls when I made the shift in GT5. The sticks give the same sort of progressive adjustment would can get from R2/L2 but I personally find it easier having the main controls on the two sticks.

Game isnt showing SR down, seems to be more forgiving on penalties as well but you still cop the SR hit after the race. See below where i get squeezed twice and spin two people, no notifications or penalties.

I wonder if that is deliberate, makes it tougher to play the system if you don't know what it is. The penalty system seems pretty decent at the moment.

I'm potentially onboard with not showing SR down but there's no contact penalties at the moment, it's just wild west justice at the moment.

Some good stats there.
Just Motegi in general. I loved that track. Hope it returns in GT7.

I'm not liking the SR down missing as it seems erratic what kind of contact leads to SR down. Also not usually a huge fan of the vigilante justice, but man that driver wasnt bright about how he set himself up.

Yikes, some nastiness going on there! Not helped by the fact you both tried to run the other off the track at the same section (the run up to turn 2) but a bit mental you can punt like that and not get penalised now. No wonder there's nastiness going on.

Maybe it’s ok at the front in top splits. As you get further down it’s more like Mad Max. Except that Max ensured there were consequences for actions.

Yeah. I took exception to the dive bomb and getting run off at turn 1 but I was fine with the return squeeze two laps later.
Just hoping there's no nonsense in FIA tonight

Penalties don't exist, not for contact anyways, it's the wild west. You did nothing wrong, he was totally running you off at every opportunity and was gonna do it again if you tried to pass.
Disagree they "both ran each other off", the other guy started it into T1.

Agreed he ran him wide at T1 but then the come back was to cut him off onto the grass on the straight. In my eyes this move happened marginally too late and should have happened just before the overlap. If I'd been in the same position I'd have tried to leave enough space on the right to save the fight for the next corner, otherwise you're essentially asking for dirty tactics to get involved. Running someone out onto the grass when they've got an overlap is the same as running them into the pit wall on the pit straight in the same positioning. Sure, there are players who are dirty and will play dirty no matter what, but I personally try to keep things civil for as long as possible to prevent retaliation like that. FYI, @ShiftingGears I'm not referring to you as a dirty player in that comment.

Ran him wide at T1?????? He is not even on the radar! It was an absolute mother of all bomb in moves, at that point you know you're dealing with an idiot, a dirty idiot at that. Our man had every right to squeeze him out after being pushed off like that.

What sort of dunderhead initiates contact into the corner immediately before they serve a penalty? Seriously dumb.

Fair point, it was a dive and a half. I still stand by my call though - once the overlap is there he's got the right to be there, not forced off the track. Eye for an eye and all that though. Maybe I'm just not aggressive enough...

It's not eye for an eye, he has ZERO right to be there because he wouldn't be there if he didn't bomb in and shove our man off. HE should be yielding if he made a mistake but it was intentional and tried to gain a place despite the dive.

These are both from the same race last night:
These people don't drive with self-preservation in mind at all. Probably the craziest race I've ever been in. I gained nine positions. It was a lot of fun, but only because I managed to escape chaos for fourteen laps.

He should be, but he's not. A character like that is clearly the type to resort to dirty tactics, so why aggravate them by forcing them off the track when there's still a race ahead to be had? The punt into the sand on the final lap was pure justice and much more effective for delivering the penalty he should have received for the earlier punt.

LOL my favourite move, hang wide at T3 early and watch the mayhem unfold.
On another note, in race trim I am being eaten alive at T3 exit, i lose a solid 3 to 5 tenths by the time we brake for T4. So annoying.

It's always most dirty in a FIA night. No surprise it's dirty today. People desperate to gain DR

I too use this set up, have been since my GT4 days, cannot break a good habit...
On to good news, I went and attempted Daily Race A again, had a great qualify time that got me in P3 at the grid, this time I stayed low in T1 and worked it to stay close to the two up front,
Well I didn't get any penalty for a slight wall scrape but in the final results list I did notice some driver way on bottom of list or so did receive one.
Back to my race, by the end of lap 6 I was fortunate for the opportunity to make the pass for first and held it for the win.
I am grateful for the many many laps I ran getting credits in the 15 lap race in career mode it gave me the experience to know how to take T1 and T3 better and better.

Yes, I noticed this at Dragon Trail last week - got a red SR in nearly every race, despite no penalties, or even in some cases any apparent contact!

I believe that the second spin is NOT your fault at all, he tried to make the pass and got himself out of control when he clipped his rear trying to get in front of you.

That would explain why I didn't get any penalty after I got into the back of you yesterday. That's usually good for 1 second minimum.
That would also explain why I dropped SR with all the chaos yesterday and me not noticing.
I think that will make racing worse. If there is no indication of someone doing things that warrant an SR down, others will just keep shoving and ramming to get ahead. Not like it stopped people in the past, but there was some penalty for dirty driving. The current penalty system is also fine by me, I just want an indication I did something to get that SR down.

Actually, @GOTMAXPOWER could have a point. If the miscreants are pushing & shoving, getting negative SR, they will unknowingly drop to the DR reset levels. This now puts them out of the rooms with people who want to have good races.

I actually think he got the red mist because he got penalised, and was trying to get a buffer so he could serve the penalty. Who knows
I didn't think I had anything to answer for in either incident at blue moon haha. Both tried to push me off my line and didnt back off when it wasn't working. Anything below SR:99 has people squeezing you into the top barrier on the exit of turn 1, its a mess

I had a race in which I started 9th on softs because I forgot to switch them out. I forgot and thought they were mediums when I pitted at the end of lap 6. I held 1st for as long as I could but I made a mistake on the final lap and ended up third. It would have been an easy win if I had just pitted later.
Still no penalties. I watched the replays and there are literally zero contact penalties anywhere during the races. Maybe this supposed invisible SR thing will work. It's been mostly cleanish these past couple of days. I've had a few positions stolen and people can straight up smash you in the bumper if they want and get away with it but it's been more on the respectful side.
