Ah yes. Because driving a luxurious German sports car in a racing game's restricted lobby is CHEATING. I do not understand your logic.

Just joined a cop lobby as usual, and I'm caught hooning about in my Panda (great fun to drive stock). So, I firstly get a strike for drifting, which I correctly point out is impossible since it's FWD, and hence traditional drifting is impossible. While I'm typing this in the chatbox, the AI driver smashes into another driver coming the other way, so I get my second strike for that.
Then, the cop (who's username is in BLOCK CAPITALS and who talks almost entirely in L33T) gives me the final strike for, wait for it, arguing. After my exclamation at this outcome (I didn't resort to verbal abuse, I behaved myself
), two or three other people begin to protest about this - they apparently suffered the same fate - and then I'm kicked.

Y scared of me? I just love my pink LFA that's all. I just race. I think I suck, even though I mostly win.
I often think I'm pretty good at drifting. Then I spin out and hit a wall. I can drift fine on my own, but tandem is extremely difficult. In singleplayer, I can beat many races, but in multiplayer, I only get wins by pure luck.

Happens to me a lot of time - I'm just waisting my time though, trying to explain even the slightest something to the host. God forbid, you know?

true thats why i like to race in foreghn lobbies(so much fun and you might meet new people) because for whatever reason ive noticed that americans(no offense) tend to drive more dirty in races than those from like germany or britain

I don't think necessarily dirty driving can be attributed more specifically to any particular nationality.
But I do think that maybe North Americans & South Americans perhaps find aggressiveness more acceptable than say Scandanavians.
So if you have a bunch of aggressive driving Americans in a room, there's just going to be more race incidents. And clearly the minority of least aggressive people are going to think the room is kind of dirty.
So I think the trick is to find races hosted by a host, wherever he/she is from, that's clear upon how strict the contract rules are.
In other words, if the host says "rubbin is racin"... then you gotta expect a number of collisions to occur in the races.
That's not to say it would be people pulling pit maneuvers, dive bombs, & exploitation of the in-game penalty system. But just that people are going to be a little more reckless, and someone's going to wind up feeling like they should've brought a beach ball & a metal detector for their excursions into the sand.

I'm from Norway, and whenever i host a room i think a tiny bit of rubbing should be allowed, but no ramming, pit manuvering, corner cutting etc. I consider myself as an agressive driver, because i don't have the patience to wait for the right opportunity, but i try to keep it as clean as possible anyways.I don't think necessarily dirty driving can be attributed more specifically to any particular nationality.

It can't be, but does often seem to be.
I've been in many a clean room full of americans, and been beat up and watched sheer chaos happening all over the track in rooms with people of various nationalities, but it seems to be that americans get the rap for being most likely to cause problems for whatever reason. Lag from sending signals across the pond might have a small something to do with it, making close racing a bit more dangerous and making small contacts feel worse, I don't know.
You might be right though that americans are slightly more likely to make rooms where slightly more contact is allowed, or downright dirty rooms. And maybe we're a little more likely to "go trollin'" in durn furriner's rooms, although I'm sure that happens everywhere too to some extent. But when it comes to rooms where everyone is expected to race clean, I've come to expect roughly the same chance of any given unkown racer being a problem child, whatever the nationality.

Hello there. I'm back! 
Also, my 🤬 connection hasn't been fixed yet.

SO true. I hate it too when I see a room called "clean bs=kick" and as soon as I'm in, I see "You have been rejected".

Last night I tried to join some Free Run rooms that were 'clean' and for mature racers. I joined and saw that I was the only British person (rest were American) and I got banned from the room for no reason as I was joining!

A lot of people consider aggressive & reckless pushy driving to be "not clean" - even if it's not exactly "dirty" by a lot of people's standards.
If the host doesn't make that clear, but has the room labeled "clean"... there's bound to be a few people who find the room not as clean as they were hoping for. It's a matter of perspective & preference of course.
I don't allow divebombing in racing I host, for example. But that's a typical type of maneuver that some people seem to think is okay... but moreover, it's also the type of maneuver that people tend to do when they are impatient & think they see an opening (often that won't exist by the time they get there) and they are just too tempted.
Temptation & bouts of impatience are universal human experiences.
And therefore, I have not seen any reason to believe that any particular nationality or region is more or less likely to engage in that type of maneuver. Even in stewarded organized private league racing, I've seen various people do it from various nations from time to time.
As far as griefing or trolling in the sense of deliberately joining clean rooms to drive dirty & annoy people... Thankfully I don't come across that TOO often... certainly not often enough to be able to attribute it to Americans more than anyone else.
One thing that's interesting though... I generally host shuffle racing between 2pm-4:30pm US EDT. Which means that for most of that time, MOST American YOUTHS are in school. So I figure if I'm kicking someone at 3pm who's an American... these are not children. They're just as likely to be grown adults 18+.
So I don't think that you can attribute dirty drivers or griefers to be one age group or another either.
Though I do think the stories about people who take x2010s or other inappropriate cars out in non-race car rooms where they annoy people can be best explained usually by younger children playing online without the benefit of adult supervision or guidance.
My husband says that whenever he joins a shuffle room, and notices that everyone else has the SAME flag, and it's different from his, he expects to be kicked. He'll actually say, "It's all one flag & I'm an American I'm going to be kicked..." And sure enough 3 seconds after getting in the room, "you have been rejected".
As I said before in this thread, this is because some people run rooms where they ONLY want to race with people from their own country. They fail to label the room that way, so they just kick people who join unwittingly.
This has happened to him in rooms of VARIOUS nations.
And it should be your first clue that this may be the case as you join & see that everyone else has the same flag. At most times of day, for most pub lobbies, it's unusual for there to be ONLY one flag in a room with 10+ people. The odds are against it happening by pure luck.

I think it'd be cool for people who like racing their own nationality for them to be able to search for lobbies with hosts from their country. The only criteria I see for changing that is the "Europe/Australia" for me and for some people that may be too vague. I like racing all nationalities because you meet new people!

Entered a drift room today at Tsukuba, everything going well and all having a good time until some idiotic child joins and pulls out a ridiculously overpowered/cambered WRX and proceeds to troll everyone.
When he got called out, he decided that a hacked Ram the wrong way would be a better option.
Host wasn't around to kick him so everyone just ended up leaving. Such a waste...
