Getting disqualified for no reason

[Mr Fingers]

Hello.
My last 6 or 7 races (daily races), I've gotten disqualify-warning and been disqualified for just slightly touching other cars. And I've only gotten 1 or 2 penalties in those races, and thats for cutting. So what happens is that if touch another car, doesn't matter how much or hard, i get a disqualify-warning, and if i do that one more time, i get disqualified. Just as an example of something that would've given me a warning (not my video):
That touch at 19:59 is enough. Even if its the first time i touch anybody that race.

Does anyone else have the same issue or have a solution? This makes GTS unplayable for me cause I can't compete or be close to other cars without being disqualified (especially not when I have SR level C).

I count you at least 25+ Contacts that first race, if your going to be involved in that many then you will get disqualified.

Can you actually time stamp when it is you got disqualified? Thats a 3 hour long vid

Oh, forgot to mention: thats not my video, just a random one to show an example I've not recorded my own races!

I've not recorded my own races!

Then it will be exceptionally difficult for anyone to tell you where you can improve.

The sudden disqualification "feature" is looking more and more like a bug, if that video is anything to go by. It looks like the player is able to rack up penalties but is not getting properly notified of them (and keeps getting notified of the opposite). Notice at around 21:50 the disqualification warning pops up - but nowhere near long enough to read it in-game - and it says the player has racked up over 19 seconds of penalties.

Definite bug.

If this is how they intended it to work they really are just treating us like lab rats in some kind of psycho game.

I personally think they might've tweaked something to fix something else which has led to these kinds of unintended consequences. I guess you could argue thats a bug.

I posted in the report a bug thread earlier today( I didnt notice this thread then), I have been experiencing continual Dq's some of which i have recorded, this one is the weirdest.

I mentioned it in the penalty thread that i received it x2, second time was the start of lap 1 as soon as auto drive switched off. I wonder if its either a set number of sr downs for the day or if you get reported previous races?

Pinball machine driving will get you a dq.

The car behind you tapped your rear bumper which gets you SR Down (see my post here) which gets you DQ if you start with the sudden death warning (like you did in that video)

If you get tapped by someone from behind you are screwed unless you voluntarily drive yourself into the wall, which absolves your SR Down and gives the car behind a penalty instead. It's still the same dumb as rocks penalty system as last week and before. If contact, and one car goes off road, either before or after contact, other car gets the penalty.

SR was always deducted for contact, yet the last update turned the SR Down notifications back on which apparently trigger the new DQ system. I guess the game thinks that you were blocking or brake checking when you get rear ended and don't go off road / into a wall. Obviously this is complete nonsense on any track where drafting is a major element of the race.

Pinball machine driving will get you a dq.

Getting bump drafted will get you DQ. However you can bump draft another player until they DQ and you will have a blue rating at the end! If contact and both cars stay on road, car in front gets SR Down.

that's a real problem. If ur car is bumped by another player twice , you will be disqualified but not him. that is discusting. May be better for me to stop playing this game.
