I don't often post race A races (especially from my US Alt) because I don't do many of them (unless the awesome tuned cars)
But I'm going to post this short clip, because a couple of reasons. A is is unranked (No DR) and the person messages me after apologising and saying sorry.
I said thanks for waiting and he said "I couldnt wait there was a car in between us" "ok but that's why we wait, to make the wronged person sort of semi whole?" "Don't crucify me I apologized"
This went on for several messages until I called his apology hollow and left it in 2 races later and called it done. He still finished second in daily A but I gained SR and he lost it. I love how this stuff works out sometimes.
This is an A/S driver
Edit: to be very clear I'm in A to practice and recover SR from the B horror show. So "losing" isn't the issue it the admitting the mistake (left that throttle ALL THE WAY IN)
It's the follow up PSN messages trying to be victimised for saying sorry that bug the absolute piss out of me!

Awesome time mate, I saw you and @Mc_Yavel had some decent times on A, I think Iāve worked out how to take the second but last turn flat out, sort of like turn 3 so Iām going to try getting into the 1.38ās tomorrow
Sort of given up on race B, the icing on the cake was 2 x pink livered cars who came in and Leroy Jenkins the race š
But A is again a decent race for the most part
Edit
@newmedia_dev definitely a strange one, no intention of waiting and then apologising - thatās passive aggressive š yeah unfortunately itās a throw up between a clean that happens and a not clean, mostly the latter Iād say š¤Ø

I'm way more cynical than you š¤£
It just bugs me he didn't lift off with both of us off track. The problem I deep down have is that this is no DR and he had a lot of opportunity to not get in to a position to have to say sorry. Deliberate yes, malicious no. But very reflective of race control, car control and overall ability.
Honestly I wouldn't expect that in any lobby especially a daily A and it bugs me a bit that someone would apologize for A race mishaps.
Sweat to win, sweat to win.
Honestly be the guy that finishes and you'll always finish further and further ahead. I like all my wins to be ones where I don't have to apologise.
Edit: because my god the spelling, auto correct and just words š¤£

Weird thing this week. Race C, low D lobby, I'm like a quarter bar of D right now, anyway, finished 12th, but so many ppl got tire or pit penalties that I placed 4th! But after the race, my DR was the same. Now it's possible almost everyone in there was lower rated than me, but not too likely.
Then I thought of the delay that happens when you finish, you get the checkered flag, and then the penalties are applied. Is it possible there's a glitch that awards DR on your place before penalties? I guess if that were true A drivers would have figured it out and exploited it by now. It would explain though why so many ppl got penalties if they knew it didn't matter.

There can be a little bit of lag in DR and SR updates.
Mate you gotta get out of those D lobbies. Focus on race lap times not positions.
There is no reason reading all the advice here and the TT thread.
Honestly driving standards are the reason you are in D

Hah I like your advice but I've been in D since GT Sport and only got to C in weeks where Tsukuba came around, I am what I am at this point haha.

Dude you do you, but honestly it's not hard to drive better and quicker and also safer.
There is no excuse (if you want to improve) that you sit in D or C only your decision making or really bad car control.

It did carry over, but I think you had to choose to do it before a certain date or it would start over.

This is why I talked about āetiquetteā not rules. Itās unfortunate that so many choose to adhere to rules enforcement rather than good etiquette. Case in point: drivers arenāt penalized for running another car off the road with side on contact. Should we all just do that from now on?
Nope.
Just. Donāt. Weave.
Itās simple.

Took me all of GT Sport and at least the first two years of GT7 to realise that it was my short fuse that was stopping me becoming an A rated driver and staying in A after I got there. I was in and out of A like a yo-yo for while
That said, being Scottish really doesnāt help, Iāve got at least 50% ginger in me and when the mist descends the ginger gene seems to take over and I turn into Begbie, not good
Iād like to throw in my 2p worth regarding weaving too.
The only time and I really mean the only time I see moving around is ok, is if you are on the final lap and the final straight into the finish line.
The car behind is coming to steal the win from you and is just entering your slip, you may try to break to tow by moving around a bit, that doesnāt mean weaving like a mad man though, I generally move across a little bit, then move across a little bit again and keep doing so until Iām at the edge of the track, when there I stay there till I hit the finish line in first or not.
However if the car behind you has caught up and is around a cars length away, just stop moving around, tuck your head in behind your steering wheel for aerodynamic reasons (my missus actually seen me doing this and said wtf are you doing š) and start praying youāve got enough momentum to get you to the finish line before they do.
If you keep weaving when they are under a cars length away in this situation, you may get pit manoeuvred and lose 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc etc, ok say you come 2nd, itās still a good race, learn from this and next time, try to control your mind under pressure so that you take the last corner like a boss š¤
