I just did the daily GR 4 race around suzuka and having started from the back because I joined too late to set a time I was doing well up in 9th/10th... Until a German bd decided to be annoying and block every attempt to overtake...

I drive differently in GTS than GTA (hard as it is to believe for some) but I was having to run this guy off the track (or dive bomb on the brakes) just to get past.. He went from Sr B to E thouh so karma got him eventually
I did that track twice, first time went well, second time I had to rage quit - some right s on there

You lose SR if you rage quit! - best to trundle around at the back!

Just had a mini rage quit myself.

Doing the one make race this morning. 2 races, pole both times, led the races all the way until... the left turn just after the chicane some decides not to brake and hit me - giving me a 10 second penalty... on both races.

I've gone from A to C rating now because some people can't brake for a corner properly and get desperate on the last lap. Frustrating!

It's not that they can't, it's that they decide not to. And there's nothing you can do.

Some people just get flag fever. I prefer being behind them on the last lap, as 9 times out of 10 they choke.

Tyres seem to degrade on the last lap, they definitely lose performance on the last lap or 2 on the 7 lap races, alot of people don't take this in to account and don't allow for extra braking distance etc.

I think that's why so many people go off on the last lap or 2.

I realised earlier that I only race in maybe 1 race in 5, so protective does one need to be of the precious SR. It's killer.

Jesus wept!

Nurburgring 24hr on the GT3 daily - lose SR because someone rams me, lose SR because I’ve consequently smacked the barriers. Lose SR because someone dives for a gap that isn’t there and scrapes down the side of me, just before I lose SR when I consequently smack the barriers from being bounced from the apex. Lose SR when someone forgets that Adenauer goes left over the crest, lose SR when I consequently smack the barrier..

Went from A to C in one 2 lap race... and I didn’t even instigate any of the loss of SR... probably would have come out better off if I had!

They need to sort this ste out - in the lobby last night there were no issues between 20 of us on a 5 lap N24 race... penalties on etc... no dheads doing the above.

Can confirm this is an excellent way to lose a lot of SR by simply trying to overtake people on the straights and having them drive into you to block it.

Interlagos isn't great for it, either. I'm on B at the moment and trying to rebuild. Did too many races at Bathurst yesterday, was too nice driving around in the dark not to, but my SR went from S to B in the process.

I also echo havocs comments.

I’ve been lumped from a B to a D. Going to give it another blast and see how much worse it can get...

I’d actually gladly pay a small monthly fee to get rid of the dicks and race in some private matchmaking. I know that’s basically I racing but that’s a little serious for me.

Joyrider and my battle last night, his tyres were shot but mine were a bit newer, but we were both wondering if we had enough fuel to finish.
The hairpin after the banked corner was excellent, I saw him go right across the inside to shut the door, and I managed to flick it left and go round the outside to his surprise! Then I buggered up the next left and he went back past. He ran out of fuel just before the line, so I thought I’ve got this! Just enough to nip past for the win, but no, I ran out too and we both coasted over the line laugh

Just race in crew lobbies , after any race any non crew members who are causing trouble can be kicked .
