I think people need to watch the post race review to understand what was a mistake and what was dirty driving. The two taps on the first corner was down to GT7 pinball physics.
I usually run into this exact problem during the championship races. It's as you say, people are desperate for the points, so they'll do whatever they have to to get past you. This last Nations Cup, I've been lucky, and the racing has been really good. The Dailies, however, are another story entirely. O_o
I think it is a intentional light punt that attempts to look like it was a racing error. Or, an intentional racing error that does not get the penalty but gets the position. He/She has learned how to use this to win races and negativly effecting clean racing lines. Suttle but "effectily dirty" in the end.
Your either 1st or your last (ricky bobby). Just the way it is in our culture. the winners take home the prom queen. EVer since they started putting up stat's this has happened. Nothings going to change this.
I have not raced the Dailies for a year now, as I got crestfallen. By constant destruction in B/S. I could never get to A rating as I was getting constants SR resets. Not having enough time to ‘get good’ I’d pick my races and go for clean top 6 finishes. Trouble is there are too many who want places at any cost, Will game the penalty system, or just plain make mischief by ruining others races. It killed the fun. I was working back up to it and have been watching the expert streams in YT, but it looks like it’s got worse.
This week was a joke, I was B/S start of the week, first x3 races getting brake checked and rammed into other opponents I had every race 5 second penalties followed by 2 & 3 second penalties and being rammed off, dropped to C/C in x3 races. I was half tempted to just go on a rampage myself
I mean, idk what region you’re in but I’m in the US. I’ve been doing the dailies for about a year and a half now, and I gotta say sure it’s bad in the lower lobbies but it’s really not too much worse than it has been. You really just gotta grind out those qualifying sessions and just be careful. Give people a ton of space and don’t be afraid to lose a spot if the guy you’re trying to pass is a shit driver. It’s hard but it’s not impossible, if you’re having a hard time getting out of b/s you either gotta get faster, or drive like any amount of contact will kill you. At the end of the day it’s a very casual online racing game on console, it’s never gonna be the cleanest racing around except for in the very top lobbies. That being said I don’t think you should abandon the online in this game just cause you’re stuck in the dickhead lobbies, just gotta get good. Truth hurts sometimes 🤷🏼♂️
It's not just championship races. Sportsmanship has declined in the Dailies to the point I just don't bother anymore. Polyphony have a real problem, but if and when they address it, it will likely be too late.
I've seen a LOT of divebombs in this race. Such a shame. They ruin a lot of races.... But the 1st "incedent" where he claims the corner (like Verstappen you said). I think that was a great move actually. Agressive, yes.😅 But good. You left the door open. And didn't check your radar... oops But overall he was a too agressive driver. No fun to drive against.

I suffered bad driving standards and shocking sportsmanship in this race too
Happens every year around the holidays. Fret not. They will all be gone by April when school starts

And thats why i dont race online anymore
I been warring this nasty drivers for yrs.
I massively prefer full damage in these long races- does improve the level of underhandedness
