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.

I went online for the first time ever yesterday and it was a complete disaster. Selected quickmatch a couple of times. Played Monza all of the times and never made it past the first corner.

It looks like Wreckfest. People driving you off track on purpose, or cut the first corner full speed to launch into your side when you reach the straight. Then there was this yelling and swearing everywhere. People totally freaked out against other people and kept calling them names.

Is this what Sim racing for a rookie without a rating is like, or am I doing something wrong?

Recently started playing and did

2:03 on Nurburgring

1:54 on Monza

1:45 on Imola

Firstly, How can I improve upon this as I know these are mediocre times

Secondly, is the gamepad a better investment than playing on the keyboard and mouse since I've started to get the hang of it.

Thirdly, where can I learn tuning based on my driving style

I’m on console, and console is on version 1.9 in perpetuity. The spreadsheet is based on PC times on version 1.9.

I’ve heard/read from many people I respect and trust that the PC version (1.9 in this case, since that’s what the spreadsheet is based on) is quicker than console.

So if that’s true, the spreadsheet times are not directly applicable for console users, unless you add .3-.5 across the board.

Speculation aside, does anyone have the facts on this with some reference material or a source?

So within the next couple months I’m planning on getting the Thrustmaster t300rs gt wheel and pedals for my PS5 so I can use it for ACC (and other potential racing games but mostly ACC). But a buddy of mine is saying to get the Moza R3 with a Brook Ras1ution 2 wheel converter. Overall the price comes out to:

T300: a bit under 400 when on sale (like 370)

Moza R3 + converter = 400 (wheel and pedals are 270, converter is 120)

Which would be the better buy? It’s my first time looking into a wheel setup and I don’t want to go crazy on price, and they seem about the same price wise. Would the converter with the Moza be consistent enough or should I just start with the t300?

Hi everyone, i have about 130 hours in game and managed to do nordschleife in 8:18:9 for now, that's my best - but it was done in mclaren 720s evo with i think good setup from Hymo. Other cars that are close to that time is the bmw m4 only. Porsche 992 was about 8:26 my best. So i feel quite comfortable in mclaren (maybe not that easy like in m4 but i can see better potential), and my question is- can somebody give me some advice on how to deive this mclaren compared to front engine cars? Some tips, especially for n24 if you can. I will appreciate this and have a lot of fun learning this car

i cant find anything on any forums 😭

Hi. Yesterday I wanted to compete in a XCL event for the first time. I'm on Ps5. I signed up for the event in the morning, think it was Daily Sprint at Nordschleife. When I wanted to join in the evening, about 15 minutes before the start of the event, it said I can't join because the lobby was full. So signing up on the website is obviously not a guarantee you can join the actual event. When should you join those events to avoid a full lobby? Or did I miss something?

Hi all, i have been racing on GT7 for 1.5 years now, and i want to up the challenge and my sim racing skills. How is ACC compared to GT7. Would've gone with AC Evo, but it's not available on consoles yet. So as a pure sim racing standpoint, how does ACC compared to GT7?
