Cars lap/laps behind you crashing you.

Recommended Posts

Seriously can you just make em invincible already? Too many a**holes try to crash me and other fair players out.. If there is 22 drivers in a server, atleast 1-3 are trolls. FIX THIS ASAP!

You honestly expect to be in a full server and have a clean race with strangers? What exactly do you suggest the "fix" should be. 
If you get the blue flag, you can't crash the car/cars coming behind you.

Exactly, how hard can it be to implement this for ranked games?
Cars are already ghosted if a player leaves or parks the car on the track.

When you're getting lapped in a 5 laps race you really shouldn't be able to influence/ruin the race of others who  still race for positions.

I agree with Jauhiainen if he means invisible and not invincible? They seem to be invincible already! ThunderCats101, he suggested that the lapped cars should go opaque or invisible, please read messages properly before reply or else you may appear ignorant.

I like the idea of ghosting lapped cars but for a ranked lobby this will affect safety rating. The whole point of the safety rating and ranked lobby is to see who are clean drivers and be matched with other clean drivers so we don't have to have lapped cars ghost, making the online experience that bit more "real". Genuine question: do other online racing games ghost lapped cars?

Excuse me? I asked what the "fix" should be. So the op was implying something was broken...

I will not excuse you. He already suggested a "fix" in his first message. I stand by what I said.

That's not a fix since nothing is broken... So cars that ram and aren't lapped. That's broken too and needs a "fix" right?

Well that will ruin the battle between two lapped cars who are on the same lap. Or one will just go through the ghosted other driver.

I have seen this in more than one video. They re not there to race.  They are there to wreck as many cars as they can. For some reason this is how they get there jollies.
The only "fix" I know would be to identify and ban.

if you can’t manage to stay on the lead lap in a 5 lap race then ranked really shouldn’t be the place for you.

Sometimes a group of players are together and help one to get the win, seen this a few times. They gun for everyone but one guy who gets through unscathed every lap. Sometimes its a guy who gets hit unintentionally and then goes on a big killing spree for mindless revenge of nothingness.
It does puzzle me how a sim style game can attract so many poor etiquette racers. But GT Sport mostly works, so there is hope for the future, a new style of racing for classes is slowly evolving.

Who exactly are the lapped cars racing, one lap down, on lap two, in a freaking 5 lap race?
OP never said anything about 5 lap races.

95% of lobbies are 5 lap races from what I can see. Plus that's where the trolls go for their races. If a guy is a lap down in a 5 lap race, he should be ghosted for the leaders.

For how slow they must have been going a full race ghosting would be a good thing, no more jollies for that backmarker ;)
