Yeah there are a lot of idiots who just try to run people off of the road. The funny thing is there is no advantage to it and more often than not they screw themselves trying to push people into the trees or outside of checkpoints. I love being in third place while the first two are locked in a bumping war and I can slide right by. The first turn of every race is like a demolition derby which is more logistics than on purpose although some of that is on purpose too. But when a couple of cars are making the same turn at the same time you will collide. It’s the guys that just try to run you out on the straights that I really hate.

Once in a while you get a pretty good group though and some clean races but its few and far between.

Join a club and have some great racing and fun

Online racing with random people is always going to be very dirty I am afraid!

My tips would be:

  1. Don’t stay alongside anyone for too long.
  2. Sometimes is best to stay behind someone going into a corner, wait for them to screw up then pass them out of the corner.
  3. Get on the inside on turn 1, lap 1 that way if you do get hit, it won’t be as bad for you.
  4. Get to the front of the pack early if possible and let everyone else fight behind you.

Driving level has nothing to do with driver abilities. An higher level just means more races under the belt.

Yes it happend all the time for me too . But there is a solution that made my life a lot better racing with random people , every time you encounter people playing dirty just block them and you never get to play with them again online . I have been doing that a lot and i have been racing with better racers , it just requires patience ! try it . A second thing you could try is to race with friends .
Game on !

I don’t find it much of an issue, if the room gets out of hand, I turn on my mic. and scold them in my OLD MAN voice, and things calm down, and I usually make a few more friends…I crash myself out more than others crash me out…lol my 2cents worth :slight_smile:

If only we could get a simulation damage lobby that would fix this issue IMMEDIATELY! I play with sim damage and I feel your pain. I get penalized for DRIVING vs others who use cars/walls as their brakes.

How do you go in cross country events? Does your car take “environmental” damage?

It’s very minimal. My problems occur when people use my car as their brakes. Or when my car comes between them using the wall as their brakes.

I wish that FH2 and ‘‘Any Racing Game’’ had the option of racing Ghosts, that would solve many aggravations :wink:

Agreed. Wish it was anti grief off permanently but oh well. If theyre right behind me i brake early because 99% of the time they’ll use me as their brake so i take the inside line to prevent it. But more often they’ll go wide or try drifting (and fail) so its easy to pass them, its the first few turns that you should keep a look out for, if there was a 30 second ghost period racing would be so much nicer

I agree the only way to avoid the “dirty” racers is to gather a group of players or friends that race clean, go into a private free roam session and just pick different events to race. Best way to do it. I hate races in road trips because I really don’t want to do any playground games. I just want to race and the only way to do that is free roam.

BOOM NAILED IT.

I hate hate hate hate hate Infected and King of the Hill. This is a racing game not Mario Party.

IMO, the biggest fault of PG was not to have lobby racing in Horizon 2. I understand the reason behind the road trips and such, but they should have incorporated lobby racing in some way besides the car meets where you can do showdown races. But that’s another topic all together.

To get back on topic, you’ll always have those that race dirty in any racing game that has public lobbies. It’s just something we all have to get used to.

This. Id rather wait a bit more if it meant I can race with people who want to do just that in a lobby. Not into this whole idea of going into MP having to do events I dislike -___-

YES YES YES Please! I hate, loathe and despise King and Infected. I want to race and not play those silly games. On-line road trips need a lot of work. We need the following:
A choice of events that don’t involve these stupid games
A choice of car class (voting sucks and doesn’t work) I often just drop out if the class and events suck
I hate being put into a road trip in progress (especially if it is in a class I don’t want to play or involves the aforementioned idiotic games)

Please fix online road trips so we can do what we want even if it means waiting for it.
