Well if you want to have your own set of rules it's up to you honestly, make a room and do whatever you like. However if you enter a room you kinda agree to respect the room owner, at least that's how I see. So if you see everyone using SuperGT, you use a SuperGT car, or go find another room there's plenty of unlimited room where you can use w/e you like.
Again respect is very important in online gaming as well as in life.

Ahhh, nooooo. That's a result of not setting properly lobby limitations.
Just kick him?

This idiot said that brown people cannot race, hence why Indian people can't compete in F1.
During the race I argued with him that if they can't compete why do they have their own team, not just drivers, competing in F1.
He went on to say that doesn't mean they are good.
I replied good or not, at least they can say we tried our hand at F1 instead of sitting on our asses and claiming who can and who can't make it in F1.
And for good measure, after the race, which I won by the way, I revealed to him that I'm Indian and bid him a good day.
My friend could not stop crying from the laughter.

I am not the greatest online racer. Usually at the start of the race I get over anxious and spin out on the first lap. My times are not that great but I am getting better. It is not a whole lot of fun being ran into and punted off the track but I take it with a grain of salt only because of the environment I knowingly put myself into. I do not expect anyone to act with any amount of respect for me while online because I am putting myself out there for the abuse just by being online. If I don't want to be abused then I will run my car(s) in my own lounge and only invite who I want. If I wanted to be in an environment where I can trust the other driver then I would go race in a sanctioned/organized real racing event. It's a game get over it. If someone is being abusive then move onto another room. Have fun!

Wish we could put the servers with auto kick. Anyone driving backwards during a race much longer than needed(like turning around to get back on the track) will be kicked out from the race.
Also we need vote kick.
And above all. Matchmaking. How you gonna have a racer without matchmaking?

You can call a kickout vote:
Either at the main menu thing or the part just after clicking go to track, scroll to someones name and press (X) to bring up a menu, and call kick out vote, i have no idea what this does though, i think its something like if a player gets enough votes they get kicked.

There's an easy solution for this. Games like Supercar Challenge would simply not allow you to drive backwards (in the wrong direction) more than a few dozen meters. Nor would it allow you to simply sit idle on the track. If you attempted either, after a few seconds, a count-down warning timer appeared on screen. Keep doing it and you were immediately booted from the race. Of course, it didn't necessarily stop a determined punter. But it made it much harder for the 'casual' ones.

For the last 2 days, after a few weeks of practicing on the Nurburgring, I started racing online. I always, without fail, get rammed off on the first corner. Every race. So I try to catch up with the last few cars, but there's a reason why they're last. They're ramming and pitting each other off the track left, right and center, and when I catch up, yup, you know what happens.
It's actually pretty fun trying to dodge them or pulling some epic evasive maneuver. You know how when someone asks how to drive faster, and someone goes "drive like you stole it"? Well that never works. Knowing that you're going to get rammed off the track if you slow down however, is brilliant motivation. I've actually set some of my fastest times on the Nurburgring like that.

I was having a somewhat interesting race against some novices on the ring. I beat their 500hp monsters with my puny 200hp MX5, until this clearly prepubescent norwegian kid called Lasse took out his x1 and decided to dedicate his race to ramming me. Half the time I was actually ahead (unbelievably) since he really couldn't drive, but it doesn't take much to catch a 200hp car with the x1 so most of the race was just him ramming me.
Here's what I've noticed:
1. Strict regulations help a lot. Usually the lunatics prefer unlimitted rooms in terms of HP, etc.
2. Banning driving assists helps. Those guys generally cannot drive and don't bother going into such rooms. If they do, they cannot keep up and soon leave.
3. If there are a few good and competitive drivers, they usually stay longer. The longer the room is active, the better, because of all who come, the good ones stay, the rammers cannot keep up and leave. Also, you can easily reccommend/agree to kick an unfair player.
4. Bad drivers and driving is unavoidable, but if you follow the above, you can minimize it.
5. Never waiste your energy and nerves on these drivers. Just move on if it's that bad.

It was funny last night when I was racing. I pipped 2 people to 3rd place by a few inches at trial mountain I was just behind them before the last corner and I was just quicker through it and managed to squeeze past them. After the race both were accusing me of cutting the last corner. I said I didn't and one said it was bs so I let him get on with it , the next race went by which I beat him by a fair margin and someone else by a few inches this was on deep forest no corner cutting possible there so proved my point and after this race he was accusing someone else of driving dirty by putting him off the track. I complain about the rammers but on the other hand there are people who take this and other games far to seriously imo. I remember when I used to play burnout paradise I was racing once and I rammed someone to make them crash which was one of the aim's of the game and he threw a fit ranting on how I was a bad driver 
. Before I experienced online gaming I thought there was a lot of idiot's , after it seems a lot was a major understatement and the most are from the U.K which is my country by the way.

I'm new to online GT5 and gave it the first try a couple of days ago.
Ahhh, so this is the ghosting I saw.
Agree 100%, I was in a good race with everyone reasonably lag-free, and one American was glitching and jumping all over the track. I passed when it seemed safe, but put him in the wall. Got called a ****ing *****t over his headset and he quit.
As I said, I new to this. From what I've seen, I seem to eventually end up with 4 or 5 people or are good to race with and respect the rules. Better than 12 who all smash into the first corner.
Your opinion on "better at sports
". Haven't noticed this happening, but I'd be polite and fair 
I've found the best racing I've had so far is a room I've made, but I'm still learning the ropes.

Racing against australians, Just because the British are better at sports than them they decide look there's a pom in the room and take turns trying to force you off the track
