I regularly play Gran Turismo 7 on my playstation 5. Fanatec Direct Drive steering wheel, seat, pedals, the works. I even have a pit crew telling me when my tyres are warm or cold, and which laps I need to pit in by using EzioDash Pro. I put great effort in keeping my SR (Safety Rating) as high as possible, hoping that I get placed in lobbies where people behave. I very regularly get the “Clean Race” bonus, and my SR is maxed out. Yet still I get into lobbies with dimwits like NicoTabe or JabCrash. Last week I noticed that these dirty drivers actually get increased safety ratings. This video clearly shows the problem:
Most people are not A+ drivers, I get it. I will never be an A+ driver. I am not going to be a professional driver and I am not in it for the prize money. I would just like to be placed in lobbies where people at least try to respect each other. In online videos I see that this problem is also present in A+ lobbies. I really hope that the SR gets an overhaul so that we can separate the punters from the racers.
