Getting beyond a joke now in the N300 races. Why do people not know how to brake? Especially turn 1 at the Nurburgring. It's not hard to brake a few meters earlier instead of just plowing into everyone. I know accidents happen but these are not accidents these are just careless people who just want to win on the first turn. We need some sort of damage on so these kind of things hamper the mindless idiots.

Thats not really solving the problem is it?
Turn 1, lap 1 for instance, I started 4th, now there was a guy who started 6/7th, I seen him come out of the pits on the warm up lap and just smash in to the car in front of me, so I noted his name and said I'll watch out for him at the start. Low and behold, what happens? Ploughs straight through takes out P1 and takes the lead? Because I anticipated it I managed to avoid it and stay 4th with out contact.
Now the incident I described in my last post, the guy who was in 3rd I remembered from the last race I had, I finished 2nd behind him. He was clean and fast so I didn't expect any trouble and took normal driving line, what I didn't expect is 4th to smash into him and for him to take me out.
Why should we have to alter our driving line/style to suit the idiots?

Like any other racing game, this game is full of cheaters. Completed an Gr.3 race earlier, was doing really well and caught up to 4th place. I was battling an RSR who was who went wide and I took the inside and he somehow managed to get back on track and hit me and pass me. Next couple corners that didn't work out for him, overtook him and was passing him on an straight, he literally rammed into the side of my car intentionally 3 times in a row until he finally got me off the track and dropped me to 10th place. Ended up finishing in 7th. He got no penalty by the end of the game unless he smoothed through it on the rest of the track.
Another issue is people using you as barriers around corners. There's a difference between making a move on the inside and not braking hoping the car in front of you can be used as a barrier to crash into and get you back on track while making a pass on someone. This happened multiple times in the race and my SR got affected for it.
The mistakes by other drivers don't bother me. The deliberate moves are a problem. That guy who punted me off after 3 repeated times in a row within 2 seconds should be kicked out of the race.

I'm thinking there should be a short ban on sport mode for those just intent on carnage, the ones just intentionally ramming people. Ban them for 24 hours and see if they do it again! Also, everyone should be ghosted out on the first turn.
This coasting to scrub off penalties is ridiculous too you get a penalty you should serve it there and then, not when it suits you / when it costs you little to no race pace.
For a game this long in development it kinda sucks at being a game... I think they spent all their time making it look pretty and adding silly concept cars...

I have been surprised to see no drive through penalties. It would stop the coasting to drop the penalty when it costs you the least but still give the driver a chance to add some strategy by maybe building a gap to minimize the damage, but the penalty is still harsh enough to be a deterrent. You could then impose black flags for not serving a drive through by the end of the race (short races) or within a certain number of laps of the incident for longer races.

Give it a few months when people are familiar with all the tracks and it will be fine.

That's true, maybe add a stop/go element then so all drive through penalties are the same length. I think this would be better than the post race penalties which can be reserved for people that don't serve the penalty during the race.
If only our ideas actually meant anything eh?

They could also potentially implement give back the position penalties if you perform an unfair overtake, shouldn't be too hard to implement - but there are potential abuse problems...That's true, maybe add a stop/go element then so all drive through penalties are the same length.

In order for lobbies with damage to work there has to be pretty severe penalties for rage quitting. In other games without a driver rating system I've never found lobbies with damage to be any more fun overall than lobbies with no damage. Reason being, if you have no damage on and you get bumped or tapped or hit from behind or knocked into the gravel you can still continue on and have a good race. But I've been in many lobbies with damage where I got hit from behind with just a love tap in the first corner and received enough damage that I was no longer competitive. It made the next 5-10 laps awfully boring in a random lobby.
So if you implement damage in sport mode you have to penalize rage quitting pretty severely otherwise you're just going to end up with a situation where the punters will just enter lobbies, engage in the same behaviors that they do now and cause a great deal of damage instead of causing time penalties and then just leave.

When I rage quit the game tells me I am C driver. It is correct! I have C license! Unfair drivers get better rank, it just the way Polly phonics worked!
