KIMI doesn't have a channel, he doesn't benefit from everyone else calling him out. He also uses setting to stop spin outs. I think there are too many KZread "pros" saying turn off all settings. turn on the anti spin out setting and you wont get pit maneuvered. turn on rejoin track and you wont get stuck in the grass for 20 seconds. GT doesn't ban players, proven, he's playing within the games mechanics. Granted, it sucks lol.

It’s so true. He is playing by the rules of the game.

If I see someone constantly pushing people off intentionally and I am able to catch them, my main goal becomes to ruin their race completely so that they finish last at all costs. I will do it smartly of course, so that I don't just spin out and let them continue. Even if it takes me with it, but just seeing them finish last is so satisfying.

For me, the worst part about dirty driving is that it’s a lose-lose for the victim. If you quit: negative rating and a 10-20 min wait until the next race If you stay: penalty and/or losing the race and negative rating in most cases

Approximately 1 race in 5 I get is clean. It’s really getting to a point where I’m considering stopping playing.

One thing I've noticed a lot lately is that when I save replays and watch them again from various points of view to analyze what happened and how people react and feel in their shoes, I see a vast majority of drivers using driving aids, mainly countersteering assistance and ASM, which results in the settings kicking in at every point of the race, making them drive erratically, slowing down in sectors they shouldn't (and making you bump into them because of the unexpected sudden breaks) but more importantly, if they engage with you trying to force you out or punt you, their car regains control almost immediately while yours don't, so it actually pays off more for them to drive like that. Other thing is how weird the AI calculates penalties... A few nights ago a car behind me forgot to break completely, smashed right behind me, lost control and met Barry R... I got the penalty for pushing another car off track.

I've been in races where a couple of punters turn the whole field bad. Ironically it seems to be everytime I get up to B class. They obvs need to work on the blame side of penalties for a start, that might be enough. But if not, maybe a cost in credits for "damage caused" to other cars comes out of account, kinda like insurance. And also a cost to repair your car before it can race again, maybe that day? So kimi car front should cost him 20k say to repair before they race that car again that day if they own it. If rented, then the cost comes straight out. But, will only work if the blame side is sorted of course.

I think having a "No DR or SR Changes" race every week contributed, because that's where I first saw the increase in disrespect. It's now bled over to the B and C races and I think many of the best drivers have left

Kimi needs a hug

I'm in lower lobbies where I don't have popular drivers everyone knows and granted I don't play the game a ton, I'm very casual about it but I rarely see outright dirty drivers. Usually the worst I see is when two drivers have some contact and one or both get angry and try to ruin the other driver's race they had the contact with. Plenty of bad driving, people going for dives that just aren't there, losing control in a corner or braking with a tire in the grass, outbraking themselves and crashing into the car in front (me included in all these) but most of the time the people I race against will keep it clean when they drive within themselves. People usually don't wait up when there's contact though is the biggest problem with the bad driving.

I think that after every game that happens, that the system shows all racers cars/user names to either select or not select their icons, which in turn, would inform some sort of system in truisms database, that …per say, 9 of 20 people selected a specific user, a clip of that users replay of the race gets assessed and at that point, they get banned for at minimum. A month..blocking them from joining other online lobbies, I dunno, just trying to figure out some system that allows bad dirty drivers be kicked out for a long while, and if they do it over again once they get to play again, after the 30 day block, then if it happens again, then boot them for 6 months, then a year and then directly 2 years… more punishment needs to be set in place… it’s like at a job at a company, 2 strikes and your gone…and that’s that…:) Great vid. And sad to see as always, one bad apple spoil the bunch.

Kimi still around oh my goodness 😆

great video I like the penalty point so many during a race and you're out. I would take it a step further and say if you get removed from a race say 5 times over a 10 day period that a suspension

I've given up on GT. I've become one of the clichés who have started on ACC and I haven't looked back. If you want serious racing, GT just isn't the place to be. The fact that Kimi even makes it into so many content creator's videos leads me to question how big the online player base actually is. And finally, even taking the penalty system out of the equation, the SR system in GT needs a huge overhaul. It's just too easy to get the S rating.

it is utterly incredible that PD have not sorted this out it is not like it is a new problem, it has just got worse, this is one of the reasons I have NOT bought GT7 or a PS 5 to play it on as i cannot be bothered building up my driver profile to have it smashed by dirty drivers, they could simply ban them each account must have its own unique identifier like MAC address or PD database Id to track and ban the culprits that's why I believe more of the private you tuber lobbies such as Kie are becoming more popular as there is ultimately more control to remove bad drivers and ends up a more enjoyable experience. PD should take note of this. P.S. Great channel.

I believe the issue with penalties is if you touch a car soft enough it won’t register it as a collision. I haven’t played iracing or acc but what I can tell from those games is any contact will result in collision maybe no penalty but something showing and tracking saying the driver made contact x amount of times thus putting them in a lower rated lobby.

And then they smile, write messages and decorate their livery with troll messages when all these people make vids complaining about them.

This only proves that PD has NO IDEA how to create a PROPER online experience for their playerbase. IF they ever get it sorted then I MIGHT come back.

Your rage is their reward, so take that option off the board completely, and force a "relationship" with them instead.

Here Kimi obviously goes off track and shorts some turns in order to gain seconds against people in front so he catches up quickly while those cars in front are actually racing within white lines. So a good penalty, and I've seen this in other racing games, is just reduce the speed of players who cut corners, it's like 2 or 3 seconds where the dirty driver goes slower than the rest of the lobby. But a game allowing the player to technically create a shorter track to gain time is quite ridiculous.

Жыл бұрын

In my opinion alot of dropping from A to B DR lately is due to A+ KZreadrs not qualifying and starting from the back. If everyone qualifies, you are placed on the grid based on quali time and you can gain 2 - 3 places or lose 2 - 3 places depending on your skill. Example everyone qualifies, a driver starts 14th and finishes 11th, the game registers that the driver gained positions and boost your driver rating accordingly. This is fair. But when A+ drivers dont qualify and start at the back for KZread views, a driver is placed further up the grid than they should be, this makes it harder for a driver to move forward in the race, and the A+ drivers push their way through the field meaning before the race has even started a driver is losing positions having their DR negatively affected, combine this with aggressive overtaking by A+ drivers to get back to the front costs drivers on track time and in some cases positions to drivers they a legitimately racing, all losses caused by a driver who never should have been racing in that part of the field in the 1st place meaning even more possible DR loss to be added to the DR loss incurred by an A driver before the start of the race. This is not fair on a A rated driver in any way. But of course KZreadrs dont care about the A drivers enjoyment and ambitions, they only care about views and their own pockets. B to C drop is definitely more of a dirty driving issue tho.

They could also be using traction control to move off quicker (I don't use it myself but if the same car as I'm driving catches me before I reach turn 1, that could be why).

@@lewishowel4288 Just using the ol' controller, I subtly mentioned a wheel to my wife, I got the 'moving on...' look hahaha

I did a deep forest gr3 14 laps and it was a nightmare. Every corner from p5 all the way to last. I was killing last week but the track was much wider at maggiore reverse. I could actually let these preemies shake hands with Barry R. and win podiums doing nothing but landing a clean race.

Glad it not just me that see this I’m getting fed up of online due to these players I always said there should be a system where there dr is removed and players that aggressive and the victims should be rewarded be rammed off

Maybe GT7 needs a low priority split similar to how Dota2 handles it. Force you to do a number of incident free races before it let's you back into a normal split. That way all the dirty drivers can continue to race but with each other instead.

Sportsmanship ratings should take care of that but as the game sees no foul your ratings are not effected

I like this... except the fact that the "punted" will end up in there too. We need live stewards... on random races, or even after the fact, to review reports and penalize the punt-ERS.

Amazing not a single penalty seemed to be fished out to Kimi for all that carnage. I wasn’t aware the driver aids could be so powerful, basically a ‘Rammer Aid’. I think if PD / Sony ever roles out their Sophy AI, some will just abandon online races and use that. If it’s realistic enough, I’d just race against my 1 or 2 buddies and have the rest of the grid be AI.

They split drivers by what assists are turned on. It's the idiots who drive with counter-steering turned on so they can execute pit maneuvers without consequence.

@@Kireth I meant to say that they SHOULD split the drivers by what assists are turned on. Sorry about the miscommunication. Kimi wouldn't be able to terrorize people if he were forced into lobbies with players who also have counter steer on. His antics would be offset. Likewise, if Kimi wanted to go into lobbies with all assists turned off. He'd wreck himself out of the race as well.

I haven't played it as I don't get the time to put in to get good enough to drive. IMO, if they don't have some sort of damage system then that's something that should be introduced. Fix the dodgy penalty system. Surely hitting a barrier should be enough of a penalty. Also, maybe add a time delay componant to all repairs. Not sure if that would work as I presume you could just buy a second car with the same specs and continue driving.

Gets expensive tho!

PD don't care about the penalty system, they just care about the mtx.

Worst times being spun... Deep down has always been the AI when your try to beat the challenges 🤣

The report system doesn't work either.. all you can report is language and pictures (liveries)... no way to report driving standards.... 👎

Haha love the livery. Em, if she is in the lobby can't you just leave the lobby?

On ps4 the only reporting I see is 'Problem Area' selections 'user nickname' and 'userid' and can only report on things like offensive language, porn, etc... nothing related to dirty driving. So I select harassment but my reports get reviewed and rejected they find nothing wrong with the nickname or id. Please help!

Racing in lobby leagues is the answer, but Polyphony really need to get there lobby act together We still have no qualifying option, lots of streamer stuff is non existent and connectivity issues are still common. I can see why people would be hesitant to pick it up

Whats makes this even worse is kimi is actually a real fast driver

This dates back to even GTR2 days. You can do anything and everything to avoid this but there will always and usually be that guy, or child. What we did to resolve this was go on the forums and create our own racing/casual driving league if you will. Like-minded people want to drive with the same no doubt. You get enough people and pick a couple dates that you know people will show with reserve drivers. So if you have a grid with 20 peeps but have 35 members, you qualify for the best 20 they race.. the others race in another lobby, and you can tally points if that's what you do. At the end of the season, we would gift between 20-50.00 of game credit or whatever. In short PRIVATE lobbies with your racing league of your own.

Unfortunately, the dirty driving is NOT limited to just Gran Turismo. A while back, I was playing Assetto Corsa Compatizione (ACC), a dirty driver rammed me, causing me to be unable to continue the race due to accessive damage. Dropped my safety rating from 20 to under 15 in just that one race... then, about a week ago, I was playing on-line in Project Cars 2, and there was a guy just ramming random drivers, and totalling their cars... the lobby went from like 15 players to 0 in less than five minutes, and I never got a chance to race as you can't join an already active race... So, yeah, needless to say, dirty drivers seem to be a worse epidemic than COVID. Something DEFINITELY needs to be done about it. I think, if someone is driving dirty, and they get enough "warnings," that driver should get banned and be forced to pay real cash money out of pocket to get un banned. Just a thought...

"I'm sure Sony will..." do absolutely nothing. That's what they'll do, because that's what they historically done.

I drive in GT7 like IRL. Absolutely respectful to fellow drivers. This guy. I see him, I'm taking him out. And I'm stopping right in front of him and doing it again. I suggest everyone does the same so that he cannot race. Another option, you see him in your lobby. Stop. Let him drive the track on his own. He's the only pink 911 on track. In Asia there are loads of bad drivers and rammers from one country, guess from where? You can avoid them for the most part. But until PD do something, it's either take action yourself or play a serious Sim instead. He has a SR of A right? What a joke.

I just don't think he watched the etiquette video.....?😏

Is there an option for dirty drivers please show I can't find it

Like you said, Kimi is fast! He can make it to these top lobby's, meaning he's gotta have quite a few good clean races to get there! I'm not saying its right, but one could argue, the fame or infamy you give these guys prompts this sort of driving style because, for instance, you have given him an entire video! Alt accounts and fame for the person or the youtuber,, can also spark the idea, he is part of streamers content, or directly linked to the streamer for the added views! You think Kimi would even be searched if it wasn't for you guys? A quick search for Kimi brings up a number of your videos! So essentially you're part of the problem or directly linked to him yourself! Its a horrible feeling, having a good race ruined, but think of it more like, dynamic opponents. Tyre wear, fuel or weather can ruin your game just as quickly. It can't be policed because there's always the element of mistakes or malfunctions in equipment that play a part too. I think you have to stop giving the fame to these guys. Being an enthusiast, put your focus elsewhere and don't show his highlights or emphasise him in your videos!

Never playing online so no problem for me.

Game companies should do more to empower the proven good players as moderators. Since they are in a lot of races it would sidestep the need to hire people to watch races. Just give some drivers mod powers. Not every random joe, but streamers that have proved themselves. Companies should uses the assets they have, and the players are an asset.

Cool ♫♪♫♪

What we can do?? Don't play daily races!! Tries yesterday Monza after a few weeks off, qualy 4e place, after turn 1 I'm 12. Fight back to place 8, again get rammed off track. So I raged quit, bey bey good rankings... They should rename it WRECKFEST!!

Best thing to do imo would be to take away their fun. if you see someone like kimi in your lobby. Leave, yes it tanks your rating but you can get it back. dodge them like the plague until something gets done about it.

Current daily races are sick to the core. Lower lobbies are crashmageddon. Half the drivers don't care what happens to you as long as they don't get a penalty, which is hardly ever.

Agreed. Everyone has accepted the absence of a real penalty system so now everyone is on edge waiting to retaliate for any contact. Modest bumps and accidents are now met with venomous retaliation. It's not just the bad drivers anymore, everyone assumes that everyone else is a bad driver and the online is practically unplayable if you're a clean driver.

Its a video game. People can use controllers. That will never change and because of that, to think it's a "real" driving game is ludicrous. Its for kids and it shows every time its played.

PP could learn from project cars 2 when it comes to penalties. Also need to turn the chat on so we can talk to each other!!!!!!!!

Love it Torrey!

personally i think he's paid by PP.. the game needs drama. its what i call management by spaghetti-western (the good, the bad and the ugly). we have kimi, kireth and naffantait. kir playing simulation, naff playing normal and kimi playing evil. together they form an weird kinda trinity in which they are dependant on each other and what the game need to prosper. no drama equals less attention and the game gets forgotten.. PP feeds new cars and the occasional new track but still sees to it that a working glitch is never far away, all in the name of marketing. it works just fine for me.

Hello Kireth, I tell you what my GT7 friends and play to 99%privat Lobbys, in Lobbys you can dirty drivers kick off, and we do it often, but after 3 races the Lobby are and there I got the best races ever, because there's a lot of Respekt and so many people stay with us so long how it's need to kick off morons, so nice! I don't Understand why PD this drivers not banned, there not more then 3-5 Prozent please banned them!!!

Sounds really good Stephan!

The answer is simple: they need to do an IP address ban on Kimi for sport mode only. He can still play single player or other online lobbies if he wants and I suspect everyone will leave the lobby when they see him in it. But that's the only solution to the problem that I can see.

Great your addressing this. But very few people will come across this guy. The reason nobody is going sport, is because day 1 of your sport mode opening: 1. Open sport watch fair play video 2. Choose a daily can be up to 15 mins wait 3. Practice the lap, probably take a rental to start just to up your fair play ranking SR 4. Finally get a race 5. Get it completely ruined by others immediately. This kimi is one guy.. at the absolute lowest level as a starter, every single car is bashing you up, spinning you off. Don't get me wrong i like a good race and strong position chasing. What I'm talking about is the entire online community just aiming and bashing ppl off the road for fun. Your right, I work hard, come home, want to race. I'm older. 3 things that will sort this: 1. Make a Demolition Derby mode for idiots. 2. Make a kick system. All others to vote cheaters off. Always worked in the past. 3. Make age based servers. I will guarantee you this is a child and teenage thing. Just make it so you can create your own servers based on age linked to your psn account with a bank account. I'm not pulling punches. I don't care. You can be nice to that kimi, appeal to his better nature. It won't work, he don't care. He doesn't have a better nature. He never will, and now he's famous you think he gonna stop ? No chance pal. I don't care if he's paid for the game, get him banned online. He still has single player. Everyone else paid good money for this too, let's not forget that. I can guarantee, like me, that new guys (and I don't mean new to gt series I'm 50 years old and been on gt since original PlayStation) (actually I go back to sinclair zx81) going to gt7 sport, returning fans, hoping this absolute train wreck that is gt online (since it went online years ago) hoping this nonsense is fixed, find it's worse than ever before. These guys jumping on sport in gt7 after first race are going to dump this game or go back to gt sport. Like the joke goes on PC games 'what's the best COD game?' Answer: all the previous cod's except the latest one, cos all the idiots have jumped ship to that, leaving the old game to be played by good gamers' Unless Sony sort this, it's dead in the water...

Is he come back from banned? Or just PD decide to give him lower ranks and he push his rank so he can troll it again?

They should do temporary bans for players that continuously have reports filed on them. I didn't see Kimi get one penalty in this video! If I did this, i would've racked up over a minute just in penalties.

I didnt even notice the report feature!!! I got dealt to by GT Arc or eSports that he is called....it was on stream so maybe I can still report it?! Harsher penalty is better than it is now....I would even take the accidental mis-appropriation of penalty instead of this dirty driving!

I respect your honor and dignity Kireth and I think the game need to be stricter on this kind of driving.. I some wants to play like that just go into a player match lobby that is only driving around acting stupid anyway.. but if they want to play for real then play for real

I've given up on trying GT7's sportsmode because of that very reason. I just play the AI. I know it's not that fun, but at least I can finish the races there.

The penalty system it’s the worse they clearly push me off the track with a big crash and don’t get penalized, i barely hit them to return the favor and I get 4 sec penalty

We should also get paid more for online racing never had an Ai full send me
