I just raced against some GTP people, and I must say, i'm not impressed with their behaviour.
Let me tell you first something about myself. I do make mistakes occasionally (who doesn't, but I more often
), but i'm a very clean driver in the sence that if I see someone behind me who is faster, I let him pass me. If i'm in a corner and someone is next to me, or if I want to take over, I do my utterly best not to make any contact. And if I do hit you, it's not on purpose. I'm still learning how to drive with a wheel and pro physics (this really takes time, and I don't play that much), but i'm getting the hang of it. I'm making less mistakes, and I can keep up more most of the other players.
I thought about joining GTP a few weeks ago but I decided not to, simply because i'm not good enough. I thought I was not worthy, I could picture me GTP players having neck on neck races and I would just be many seconds behind. I always thought that GTP players were very good racers where you could only have much respect for. Untill I met some GTP players online today for the first time, particular the last one. Let me tell you about that last race (I'll do my best to discribe it in English).
We were with a total of 4 players on Fuji Speedway, one GTP player, one guy that would bang into us, one aggressive driver, and myself. The banger left the race very soon, somewhere right after I noticed in my driving mirror that he was banging into the GTP player, and probably lost the duel. The aggressive driver was, well, driving aggressivly. What I mean with aggressive is that he wasn't afraid to make contact. Myself, I was doing my best not to hit any of them, although I did make some contact, but not in a aggressive way. And the GTP player, well, he was taking it out not only on the aggressive driver, by starting to drive aggressive as well, but he was also taking it out on me.
My car was tuned (thanks to clacksman, love his tunes 👍) with more topspeed, so on the long straight part I was faster and when I tried to pass the GTP player he began moving to my direction and forced me almost into the wall. I didn't took any offence by that and kept trying my best not to hit him. And so the race continued, with a constant aggessive duel between the GTP and aggressive player. In the last lap, I was in 3rd place when I saw the aggressive driver taking first place with an aggressive take over, when they and I almost right after entered the chicane. The GTP player tried taking over through the inside, when they made contact with eachother and the aggressive driver got a penalty for that. So from then on it was between me and the GTP player in the last corners.
He stayed first, untill at the straight part, where I was faster, I wanted to pass him when he started to block me what resulted in he hitting me and winning the race. 👎
Now I know that an aggressive driver can bring out the worst in all of us, but do you really have to take it out on the other players as well? If I was in first place and he would have been faster in the last part I would have let him pass me, without a doubt. And I certainly thought a GTP player would do the same. Does this mean that every GTP player behaves like that? Of course not, but my first impressions are far from what I had in mind of a GTP player.
Although i'm sure he will have his own opinion about this race. And perhaps I came over to him as somewhat aggressive, because I do make mistakes. But there is a big difference between making a mistake occasionally and driving aggressivly. You might even say i'm to carefull, and i'm pretty sure that's noticable in game. So for me, there are no excuses as I never even once did an aggressive move.
Blocking people before the finish line is low, this is the first time someone did this to me in GT5P, and I never expected it to be a GTP player.

)
! Once myself got bumped by 5 diferent GTP members in the same race, but... they´re usually nice guys 
! I had great battles with the GTP "greatest drivers" and sometimes i win and sometimes i lose, but the experience is the fun of it 👍! I bet youll change your mind in a near future
I rarely get good clean races.
), and that was the 600pp fuji race. And after trying for 15 minutes i didn't find anyone on the 550pp suzuka
