New players mentality
We’re all out here grinding our safety ratings, trying to race clean, improve lap after lap, and actually learn the game ,then you get these absolute clowns who can’t handle being overtaken, so they just divebomb you into a wall like salty toddlers having a meltdown. It’s beyond frustrating. You spend an entire race being careful, avoiding contact, setting consistent laps, only for some reckless beginner with zero racecraft to completely ruin your race because their ego can’t handle someone being faster than them.
And the worst part? They crash you out, destroy your safety rating, then instantly quit the lobby with zero consequences while YOU take the penalty. How does that even make sense? There seriously needs to be some kind of banking or reputation system where repeat wreckers and rage quitters get punished hard longer matchmaking times, ranked restrictions, forced low-priority lobbies, something. Because right now these troll drivers can just ruin races endlessly with no accountability.
I know I’m still fairly new myself, but at least I’m trying to race properly and improve. These salty idiots don’t even try to learn racecraft — they just weaponize bad driving because they’re mad they got overtaken. It completely kills the experience for people who actually want competitive, clean racing.
