I've been a less than frequent poster, for which I apologise. I prefer to read the forums rather than offer my own poor contributions to discussions.
I'm not a great driver (B rating) but on the whole I do try to be respectful to others and try to race in the 'daily' races without contact. I drive to enjoy the race, the car and the track and mainly to challenge myself to get better and faster.
However, the penalty system and the behaviour of some other drivers is making the whole thing less than fun. It outrages my sense of fair play when someone decides to deliberately ram me off the track just because they want to overtake. With the latest iteration of the penalty system someone can nudge you off the track and usually not incur any penalty. If one is given, it is so short as to be no real disadvantage.
So, I am calling for PD to create the facility to let any player block any other selected player from appearing in the same race with them.
That way, I could remove myself from the clutches of the simply nasty, the trolls, the idiots, the incompetents, the little kiddies using big brother's account, the drunks, the drug abusers, the insane, the egomaniacs and such-like who infest the game.
Now, I appreciate this may allow players to block players who they know are great drivers and thus faster than them. I would be OK with this, as anyone who might do it is doing nobody else any harm.
As things stand daily races are a mess and the penalty system remains not fit for purpose.[/QUOTE]
