Germans!

[CHRJY]

Does anyone else have problems with the german racers in GT Sport?

God knows how they manage to get an S rating when I have found all of them so far to be totally dirty racers. They use you as a break and when there was definitely no overtaking opportunity and then I'm the one that gets a penalty because I'm pushed wide!

I don't seem to have this issue with any other racers and have had some great racing when the germans aren't involved!

Rant over!

Hey buddy,

I am a German racer and your racist rant disqualifies you from any sort of racing that requires a certain degree of sportsmanship. I have had some fair battles and some unfair ones with people from all over Europe. If you can't handle the occasional setback that comes with esports than go arcade or start a non-German lobby - that way you can have a nice litte tea party with people that share your opinion. Win Win that is.

I wasn't aware you've raced against all the Germans who've bought GT Sport. Having issues with a few people is no reason to talk bad about the thousands, or tens of thousands, of Germans who've bought the game. This sounds like the rant of a very immature person.

I apologise Kurichan if I offended you, I'm sure there are German racers out there that play by the rules but every race so far I have been taken out by a German. My message does sound quite racist and I apologise, it wasn't meant that way believe it or not.
I find that they are still in qualifying mode and have no consideration when in a race situation. It seems they think because they put in a fast qualifying time they can sustain that during a race irrespective of other drivers around them.

Im sure some bad eggs could be found from the UK also wouldn’t you add @CHRJY ...

German here - I suppose there is also just a lot of us, so there is a bigger chance to have bad encounters I personally try to race clean though I sometimes fail due to inexperience; have not seen country-specific behaviors so far.

All good CHRJY, I just despise that kind of thinking. And think of it from a statistics POV: The biggest video game market in Europe is Germany. I would just assume that means also more people that bought GT Sport, meaning more fair players, more dirty players in terms of numbers. In terms of proportion I bet it is the same EVERYWHERE.

Nein!

 

[PzR Slim]

Nein!

That's quite a few....

 

[250 GTO]

That's quite a few....

Not considering how many of them there are.

@Kurichan You're absolutely right and I apologise again. I just had 4 races on the trot and was completely irate! I know how it came across and shouldn't have vocalised it....it's unusual for me!
The irony is that I believe that Schumacher is the greatest F1 driver that ever lived and followed him religiously.
I think I should probably delete the post (if I can!).

I'm in New Zealand and the majority of players in my races are Japanese, I guess due to my location and time zone. They are skilled and clean race drivers and very enjoyable to race against.

 

[CHRJY]

Perhaps the S rating is too easy to achieve?

 

[bmxmitch]

lol

 

[Birdorf]

So you just joined to have a racist rant?

It does look that way doesn't it!

 

[Johnnypenso]

Since German is not a race there's nothing racist about his rant. The word you're looking for is xenophobic.

 

[Birdorf]

Oh, you're one of those.

 

[CHRJY]

Oh, you're one of those.

?

 

[PzR Slim]

Oh, you're one of those.

That's a bit 'one-of-those'ist isn't it...

I'm pretty sure @CHRJY has seen the error of his ways. Lets hope he sticks around to see what a great place this is no matter where we are all from.

Thanks @PzR Slim - I'll make sure to check my manners at the door in future. 👍
