[@dollytanto2322]

Was für ein Schwachsinn!!! Ich fahre C und da gibt es genug faire Fahrer. Das selbe gilt auch für D.

[@kent570253]

I just started playing online after playing GT 1-2-3-4-5-Sport and 7. Im C and S for now and people are MOSTLY clean. Yesterday I made a mistake and pushed a guy in the last corner, barely touched him, but still last corner. He lost a spot. I feel bad ever since.

[@corey_massey]

I think you are over looking that this is the system that people are asking for when they say they want a better damage model in GT7. The rammer takes near race ending damage for ramming and the person who was rammed does not. In this game front end damage is worst to the car than rear or side panel damage so the person who punts you off his race is pretty much done while the person who was rammed has potential to still be competitve. It solves the problem across all drivers skillsets because it doesn't matter to me why you rammed me, I just don't want you to be able to finish the race after you've done it. Yes, it is frustrating to be hit by another driver because they've lost control of their car, but perhaps it will stop people who are less skilled from attempting to drive like a crazy person without the skill to do so. The message PD is sending here , is race clean or your race maybe over.

[@RiiPapa]

@corey_massey: That's true as long as we are talking a simple bump in the back. I am in C myself and about 50% of the time the incidents are something like an (accidental) pit maneuver that sends one person directly into Barry R. You lose time, your car potentially has damage on both ends and to make it the perfect trifecta of shit you get penalty time for spinning over the track limits. 🙂

[@TANGYHATCHY]

The answer really is as simple as “get good”

[@solomondemeter7632]

"Got a couple of Bulgarians in front!" *Looks at what are clearly Portugese flags* You sure about that, Rory? Fantastic race though. :)

[@SteeeveO]

It's a "gotcha" mate!

[@DB_Pooper_]

7th place finisher here. I'm not sure if I'd agree with the fact that heavy damage has fixed dirty driving. It's not like it was acting as a deterrent for people not to hit each other, I think it was more of a case of a bunch of good drivers in slow cars on a track that prioritises racecraft and car placement. I had quite a few light scrapes and bumps yesterday (with you in some races too), and never picked up any damage. If someone wanted they could still easily push you out the way. Having said this I'd still rather heavy damage be on because eventually yeah it will reduce chaos. Nice racing with you!

[@teabagtim]

"A couple of Bulgarians " Rory doing his finest Murray Walker impression 😅

[@christycullen2355]

Probably some of the cleanest wheel to wheel racing I've seen. Respect to the both of you, that was epic to watch

[@DblA90]

Agree, but you have a lobby of respectful S drivers. I have a feeling in B,C,D,E DR drivers with SR ratings of B,C,D, it still could get ugly.

[@Stripes__]

Even with SR S it'll still happen. I stopped looking at people SR rating because even people SR S pull dirty moves and get away with it. This will only work for DR A and up, Maybe B.

[@craigyirush3492]

But this assumes that those drivers won’t learn and adapt to the consequences of punting.

[@gokuson7841]

Qualified 3rd and got rammed over and over down to 16th.

[@ThePsycho211]

@@Stripes__ Thats why every even a bit competetive racing game needs a report system that eventually reaches human eyes. Im playing ACC where I can report people and it WILL reach someone, and if they are dirty, they will get a penalty (or even a ban if it happens too often). People tend to be overly aggressive, but never dirty, as dirty will just get you banned.

[@supercededman]

I don't comment often on your videos, Rory, but you are spot on. I've been an advocate for HD for a while, and it was noticeable that driving behaviour in this race was VERY different. I'd like to see a medium-term trial of HD in Race C. It'd take a while for the behaviour to change. Not just one week. The other big thing I would recommend is a trial of a 5 minute qualifying session before each Race C, like GTWS Manufacturers. Well done.

Recently got a wheel stand for my entry level logi g29 generally i do quite well with a control in C rank with a S driver rating but i am now finding it hard to maintain control of the car if i start anywhere near the middle or back end of the pack, one rammer or even nudge causes me to spin and it takes a lot longer to recover, im determined to keep at it and find the right settings for the wheel though. People are so dirty though and it does ruin the game a lot

[@frizzlefry1921]

Just got the wheel myself its quite a bit different than the controller. Couldn't control the stick well, nerve problems sucks bad... but wheel is so much different can't wait to get online and race! Waiting a while till I get a good handle on this wheel buisness.

[@nuroe1]

@@frizzlefry1921 Once you use the wheel the controller is not anywhere near as fun. What i have found is if its the start of the race in a thick pack or you have a feeling there is someone that is going to ram or nudge you off the track turn traction control up until its safer to go back down, it does help the car stay on the track somewhat, otherwise it almost immediatley spins and you can't catch it like a controller. I also have my steering sensitivity quite high and force feedback around 6 and sensitivity around 8 or 10. I managed to win a daily a the other day luckily the lobby was clean and almost copped p6 in B until this d*ckhead rammed me off michelin to recover for 8th.

I like the heavy damage change less rammers only problem is we might see more toxic brake check moves happen to me on one race I get good exit speed on the last turn going into the long straight I make a move to pass 1st instead dude cuts in front of me then brake checks giving me front bumper damage which is way worse then rear bumper damage for the brake checker no penalty giving he keeps 1st while I fall down in positions

[@TheChalkedStrat]

Likely didn’t solve it but nonetheless nice to see a clean, hard-fought race!

[@videojenico]

Back in GT5 we had penalties and damage options but nobody liked them because everyone raced casually. We had clean races with casual players, meaning that they could commit big mistakes, causing their entire race to be ruined if we had damages on. It wasn't fun for anyone, unless you played in hardcore races. Most Gran Turismo playes want to race casually and have fun after a long day of work. That's where Gran Turismo succeeds. If you want actual hardcore/realistic races, go to iracing, lol

I like heavy damage for A/B drivers. Less skilled drivers will struggle. I think PD made it only 7 laps and low tyre wear so there would be no pit stop to fix damage. Lots of lower ranked drivers would DNF due to boredom if there were more laps.
