Yes yes yes! I've finally found a solution to being hit on blind bends!
Changing course map scale to 3, it gives you a good idea of what's coming and on what side.
Thank god!
Thanks so much ! It works perfectly
Worst you've dealt with online...

People actually have the audacity of opening rooms saying they sell hacked cars for 10 bucks each! I can't believe when I saw that room, and it was full! This is really getting out of control.
Also, people probably assuming I have hacked cars just because I enter the track in a mildly tuned Toyota Carina 4WS, an SS-II Celica or any other regular 150HP-200HP street car while everyone drives their stupid Red Bull X1 and their unoriginal extremely tuned cars on Racing Softs. When they see how slow my car is they instantly know I'm not hacker though.
Seriously. The hacked cars are out of control...

I agree, and I build hybrids!
I stick to realism. My Beetle is a prime example. Sure it might be packing 300HP @550PP, but it's easily beatable. I never join racing lobbies with it, only free runs and private drift rooms with friends.

I have had enough of this game, just joined a room, and it was full of rice burners with 28K hp civics and Nissan's. I have no problem with hybrids, but when they have too much power and are in every room, it just frustrates me. What was worst about this room was that people were telling me to drive properly, when I was at 70mph and on the left, while they drag raced.
I am so tempted to go troll some JDM/ honda rooms in my Brown Honda Today G, with yellow rims.

I'll come join ya with my Caterham-swapped Z Act.
Sadly getting too late for me, need to sleep, work in the morning. On another note check out the brown goodness.- It has 75 rampant horses, 112mph.
- Front wheel drive.
- Useless overly large spoiler.
- Large amount of camber for that cornering greatness.
- Matching Paint scene.

Bro, with that much #hellaswag, you should totally post that in the GTP Stance thread. Not joking, bro.

The epitome of intelligence here, folks:
While at a SSR7 hacked car lobby (I just wanted to drive my fully tuned McLaren F1 in a lobby without restrictions), one person asked people to hack his Red Bull X2011. Me and another person told him a total of six times that since DLC cars can't be shared or traded, no one can hack it for him. In total, he asked about seven times. Even after we had already told him so.
He had an American flag next to his name, so I would hope he fully understood the English language.
EDIT: A personal note from me about hybrid cars in Gran Turismo 5: As a community, can we please stop referring to hybrid cars as being "hacked"? The reason being that "hacked" carries a negative connotation, this connotation being cheaters using several thousand horsepower cars. Hybrids are not entirely bad with the realistic ones. A 1000 horsepower Gallardo or Supra is perfectly acceptable and I really want one in the game. A 100,000 horsepower Fiat 500 is not okay. Thank you.

I refer to them as hacked because, well, they are.
I don't mind them, but I would hate the driver 9 times out of 10. Like the one in a cop lobby who rammed my Miura into a wall, and when I asked for him to be kicked, the host started ramming me too.
Edit: just been at a friends, he was online; but he was sick of drifting, so he said "Hey. Lets join a cop lobby!" So he handed the controller to me.
Joined a lobby and there were 3 cops. One tailed me in my friends blue M3, I was doing (at the most) 68 due to the cars gearing. I stayed on the left and never drifted or anything. Then a white Aston Martin pulled me over and said "3/3" so I was a little confused, but he said I should change to a fiat 500. I did, from recommended cars. I entered the track and was rammed by another cop who said "Ur in a white car!" When I asked what was wrong with that, I was kicked.

I thought they patched the hacked cars?
Playing last night. 70MPH cruise Left at "Cote D'Azure". Stock Aston V12. Sports Hard. When someone comes out in a Cube, even fully tuned and on Racing shoes I highly doubt he could do a 1:19. I was left for dead in the straights and it cornered like an X1.

The only thing I hate more than the overpowered X1's are and will always be Scammers. In the past I've lost quite a few cars ( fool me once etc ) including, A 190E 2.5 and my home tuned Bahamas yellow Plymouth Cuda. Since then I've helped potential buyers know when someone is obviously trying to pull a fast one. It's not foolproof but it's something.

Oh my I'm sorry about your Cuda. I to have had my heart smashed by damn scammers. Lost my Deloreon after a guy told me he was going to give me a gold paint for free and when I went online I realised he had no friends but me and he suddenly unfriended me with my Deloreon gone. Hacked out of my garage.. He only has to play with u online before he can just gift things to him.

Yeah, I've found the need to vent a little. (This is not an accusational post directed to anyone here!)
I've recently been playing GT5 more online than I ever have done, even since I got the game on release day. However, it has become apparent to me more recently that online driving standard actually seem to have dipped as of late.
I know you've always got some wazzocks driving around without a care in the world. It's a game - you're always going to get that.
However, the scourge I refer to is the fact that drivers can not, under any circumstance, give up a corner. Countless times I've gotten fully alongside someone, turned in and held my line, given them enough space... and they still turn in on me. I know some people will be driving in a view where they don't have a good view behind, but surely sound will help someone place another car?
Even worse, the amount of times I've had the above happen and then been blamed for "ruining" a race is beyond belief. Same thing happens on track - I'll make the pass, be turned in on, and then be rammed straight off at the next corner.
Obviously, this becomes even more of a pain on street tracks - being turned in on gets you pushed straight into the wall on a track such as Monaco. I'm experienced enough to know when I'm in the wrong, but there are such a lot of instances where I know I've done nothing wrong and yet I'm the one identified as the "dirty driver".
This isn't even limited to pickup races - I've done a few league races online now (though not with the guys here) and found the same issue. Maybe it's me coming from PC sims and expecting the best of the best - I don't - but it seems the percentage of sensible races is in a downward trend.
Of course, I'm not saying everyone is like this. I've had plenty of really good races with fair, close and exciting battles. It's just something I've noticed recently.
I just needed to get that out there! Anyone else have similar issues they find?

I wish I had. My PS3 can't connect to the internet anymore
Maybe you should try some organized events instead of public lobbies? I think a lot of the clean drivers who are still playing this game has gone to the organized events, so that might be why the public lobbies seems "dirtier" than before. I also think that people drive more carefully in organized events, as compared to public lobbies where you have no strings attached to anybody and you can take bigger risks because if you end up hitting someone and getting kicked from the lobby it's not the end of the world. In an organized series, there would be more at stakes. Organized events also have rules, which can help drivers settle a disagreement, while the rules in a public lobby in most of the case is a matter of opinion.

Yeah, That happens to me also. Another thing is when your taking the outside line, trying to give the person on the inside room, to many people just floor it and slam you off the track

Dance Commander. I feel your pain.
Also, those people who join a UK law lobby (says so in the title) and start driving on the wrong side with the justification "Everywhere else drives on right" (which they don't) are becoming more common to me.
And those who think they're better than me because they're higher level. Even though I've started over. And mostly play online.
And when I beat their tuned R34s around D'Azur, they go all mad because a Miura beat them. Accept it, you're terrible!

I feel paranoid about pulling any of my stock veyrons out now due to the reputation they get online. I don't know whether someone in a modded GT-R is going to challenge me to a race or the host will get mad and kick me. Seriously, I'm about fed up with people challenging me to a race in free run lobbies; if I wanted to race, I would go to a race lobby.
I have a story related to this to. One time, I was driving a stock Skyline around Tokyo and one guy came up to me and asked to race. He was in a modified corvette zr1, I said my car is stock; so no. He then responded "so...race me!!" He kept annoying me to race his ZR1 with my stock skyline, I have no interest in any race where I have no chance to win.
This is obviously not the worst thing I've dealt with, but I just really see these kind of things as big annoyances.
