Thought I was going to pull off a great pass here until this guy decided to live up to his super cool gamer name.
I should have seen it coming in hindsight
This is the sort of thing that we should be able to submit to a review and the guy gets banned for a month. Even if it takes them a month to get to reviewing it the procedure needs to be in place to deter this crap.

Well, you drive an Alfa, so you deserved it, right?😜🤣
But really, what an a*****e. Though I have to almost admire his awareness and timing... He seems to know what he's doing. Which doesn't make it any better, of course.

I've managed to get pretty consistent podiums in race B now by just starting near front and then running it as a time trial essentially. For mid-A DR, qualifying 1:45.8 typically has me ~2nd-4th. As the fighting and unpunished murdering kicks off in the mid pack, a large gap develops on lap 1 in pretty much every race, at least in the lobbies I'm in.
Is this a good thing? I don't know. My DR has risen significantly this week (27k to 41k) and the races have not gotten any cleaner, I've just managed to avoid the murdering by starting near the front and getting consistent enough to not make big mistakes.
Actually, the most enjoyment I'm having now is watching the replays after each race, and observing the hilarious carnage and rampant murdering in the mid pack. Pretty much if there's an Alfa anywhere on the grid, watch them on replay and it will be great. Not so great for the victims of course, but yeah

Haha I know it’s just a online handle but I’m always dubious with people that have names like that. And like you say just proves that.
Raining A-holes today
Perhaps I better switch back to the GT-R or WRX
Wow. Not having much luck. Haha
——————
Completed Race C and I don’t understand why people start fighting positions? I’ve found it pretty difficult to overtake on this race and my best chance is either people fighting or making mistakes. Started P9, and made my way up to P5 by a few infront spinning or they had a bad exit and managed to overtake at the hairpin. I could see P2 and P3 fighting each other for a few laps and myself and P4 just waiting for the opportunity to pass. P4 stays out a lap longer and I jump them at the pit stop, and these two in front still going at each other. L9 P3 lunges at P2 at T1 and i just slip on through the inside of both and say thank you for Pw as I last them. Last lap tyres dead and as P3 pit a lap later then managed to make the past. P3, good race.

Shifted to my 2nd account as was really angry and upset. 2 races with legends such as Kireth, Mohammed and our very own Tobasco in the lobby. Obviously all 3 take first three positions to start whilst I'm all the way back in 7th or 8th.
Both races started well, even passing Kireth at one point but also both races ended in misery with the SAME bastard player taking me out in each one 🤐😤
Just did a race with 2nd account (high B rating) and started pole, fastest lap and won so feeling a bit better 🤣

I raced again yesterday at Deep Forest. There were some good races, there were some bad ones. There were clean drivers, there was absolute filth as well disrupting the races. The low point was an idiot brake checking at the finish for 8th place...
One was satisfying though. At the U turn after the tunnel an Argentinian tried to block me on the way to the braking zone. Swerving back and forth, then defending the inside line which prompted me to brake a fraction later to go around the outside, which prompted him to move over back to the racing line under braking to catch my car on his bumper? I moved the opposite way to the inside where I got next to him in the braking zone. I made the corner just fine, he undercut but wasn't happy we came out side by side of the corner so he steered into me trying to slow me down by pushing me into the barrier. He slipped on the kerb when steering back to onto the track Instant karma.
The game was temperamental again as well
At least it only crashed once during a race, the -1200
I was back in the (lower populated) top split after 9 PM, finishing far behind the A+ top again. Which seems to stall DR progression (finishing 6th, which is halfway in the 12 player lobbies I seemed to be getting)
The last race had the longest warm-up ever
About 10 minutes of warm-up as the counter wouldn't start going until it dropped two players. At the end of the race the countdown timer was waiting for another two drivers who had disappeared. Consequently the race ended 2 minutes after midnight, no time to enter the next one, but already had my daily workout done for today (10K tip from a 4 star ticket)
But I also finally got a victory!
Thanks to the aftermath from yesterday (was my first race yesterday, still in SR.A) and shoddy matchmaking. After that I was back in SR.S with no chance of pulling off a victory from the back.
One thing I could not get yesterday is the clean race bonus. Not touching anyone, not touching walls, but following the 'track limits' that don't produce penalties apparently still negates the CRB. It would be nice to have feedback where the CRB fails. Probably where you go into the tunnel and the preferred line is to go wide there over the green.
Good race day, hopefully PSN gets more stable for next week...

Bit surprised to find this guy calling me a dirty driver in the chat afterwards. Looking at the replay this is the only contact we had and the only real contact I had with anyone all race... I know my line was a bit sharper than I'd like as I'm trying to protect the inside, but I don't see anything wrong with this from my view? He gets a bit aggressive and his speed carries him off IMO.
I did watch his whole race and he was getting barged about by a couple of others so perhaps this was just the straw for him in terms of his mood, lol.

Well to there defence they did leave you enough space on the inside! (as can be seen on the image below) 😂
Lightning McQueen was at no point before that corner ahead of you, so corner was yours. They should have back out or tried to hang out it on the outside OR just turn into you which they did. No matter what move they made you was always going to win that. What did they accuse of? Diving into the corner?

Two game freezes today at the cost of over 2000 DR. Which is basically my weeks work undone. Thanks game.

That's BS, they should be able to tell between a quit and a disconnect, that's lazy programming 😤 That sucks mate as I know how good and clean you are as a driver!

Thanks mate. It’s infuriating, I was in p1 with kireth right behind me and we were on for a great battle and he would have watched me sail into the wall gifting him the win. So frustrating as wins are like gold dust in those lobbies.

Don‘t you worry you’ll earn that back in no time sooner or later.
Actually when I started playing GT7 I was sitting at 67K and within just 1Manufacturer Race I lost around 4-5K as I got discoed in all of my 4 Attempts due to the faulty LAN Port on my PS5, which I didn’t even knew that it was down to that Trash.
So yeah, it’s just DR you lost, your Pace shouldn’t be affected but I agree it sucks.

Maybe the silver lining here (trying to be positive on a weekend 🤣 ) is that you'll be with less skilled players for a bit, so you can snatch some fastest lap and win awards 😎

Tried Race B for the first and I’m just not quick enough. Started P16 so effectively had a corner to tackle before I even started the race. I crossed the start line 2 seconds behind P15. What is that all about?
Gr4 cars are my nemesis on this game. I just can’t find any speed from the cars. GTR my quickest time 1.50, McLaren 1.49.5 and Hyundai is my quickest time so 1.48.8. Is BOP ever going to change for Gr4?

I'm not sure what BoP changes would do for you here considering you were faster in a McLaren than you were the meta car! If you're comfortable with it, run with it - until you're in the top splits there's enough time for you to find on the track than what the car will lose you.

Don't worry...he had no right about that corner AND the corner is difficult even with just one car if you miss the line. He would not have fit the way he drove on the outside next to them anyway. He should and should have reduced his speed, but he didn't... so he was unlucky.
You have to adapt to the GR4, especially the 4x4 like to understeer... and that takes revenge very quickly/strongly.

Does my opinion sounds nuts? Hear me out... In reality, Gr3, 4 etc all have certain rules to follow but there is no BOP balancing..
Why not leave the car stats as they are? If, for example, the GR2 AMG is better than the Skyline, then so be it! They could say no Moda, just factory settings for races, and of course tire compounds, but why not just let things be instead of increasing weight or reducing power? Just a thought..

Yes, the BoP values of some cars still have to be adjusted... BUT it has definitely gotten better.
Btw: In a B race today I had a Citroën GT behind me, which put me under massive pressure for 3 laps. P1 a friend in the GT-R.. then me in the GT-R and then the Citroën.. and then a few seconds behind the rest of the field. In lap 3 I slipped a little on the left wall in the CoD, which allowed the GT to make its pass in the last corner. Unfortunately, on lap 5 the GT crashed in the CoD and went back to P3.. BUT the GT was really fast... However, the driver said after the race that it was very difficult to drive at this pace.

This is what I don’t understand in how am I quicker in a McLaren then a GTR? I’ll be honest I’ve not done much practice for this race so I know I can find more time, but I did the same number of laps in both the GTR and McLaren.
The problem I have is I just can’t complete in B rank lobbies with my time and the McLaren just to slow in some parts.
Yeah all the 4x4‘s I struggle with. The only one I can drive is the Lancer but it’s horrible to drive round this track. I really need to learn how to drive the 4x4s

It sure is lazy programming. There isn't even any error reporting (sending error reports back like most software do). When I get the dreaded "Unexpected Error" the game can easily let the server know I did not disconnect.
A game freeze is harder to distinguish from pulling the plug to 'save your DR' yet I assume some parts of the program remain alive or the ps5 would report the game having crashed. I had a freeze as well yesterday, just got this and had to close the game.
It sucks. Personally I only treat DR as a curiosity and a tool to find competitive races. But I fully understand the frustration of trying to reach the top and getting set back by crap out of your control.
Part of the reason why so many people make alt accounts is because the higher your DR the higher the risk vs reward ratio gets. A win can get you less than 100 points in daily races outside prime time. A disconnect can cost you 2,000 DR.
I just don't understand how GT7 online has all the bugs from GT Sport plus a whole load of new ones. It's frustrating

For WRX and GTR I would recommend you first not too late.. don't brake too hard... when turning into a corner you should already use a reduced braking force. The cars are safest when you let them roll a bit, but you can usually flat out at the apex of a corner or just after it, as the 4x4s have massive traction.

It definitely sucks! But as you say it comes and goes, just really frustrating when it goes through no fault of your own. I’m more annoyed I was stripped of having a good race. Kireth and I were pretty much identical for speed and it was hard fair racing. Having 100 people watching on a stream is also quite a motivator!
Well I deleted and reinstalled the game, took forever but had time for 3 races from 8-9. I was still in ‘top split’ I think but nowhere near as competitive. 2 wins and a p2 so hopefully clawed a little DR back but only 2 or 3 A+ in the room so a lot to lose as well.
