I know where not allowed to shame players
What about praising them??
I read all the time wreckers, back markers. Etc
Gives me the impression that 95% of racers are pants but for me it’s the other way round
I feel the commuerty should praise good racers and good racing
Thtjusthappened Is a gentleman of a racer he waited behind me for 4 laps before trying to over take he could of pushed past but he didn’t

I had a lot of respect last weekend in the V8 supercar league @ professional level for a French player named ORC PA. Very mature driving and a lot of fun to race vs him.

See this is what I want see praise
Speedy del 80y very fast racer I defended my line as hard as I could he over took me cleanly then few laps later his car was damaged in a wreck and pulled miles of his race line so I could pass quickly to try catch race leader
I tend to give praise in a message immediately after a race and sometimes just send a friend request.
But I agree, there should be more praise on the forums for racing experiences with particular drivers as there are a lot out there with great track etiquette.

This is an excellent idea, I’ve also met many clean and fair racers out there.
It would be excellent if there was a way to positively rate racers and make match ups more likely.

I usually send a driver a Message post-race if I have a good, clean battle with them.
Looking at my Message history these were some good ones from Leagues and Multiplayer:
- SlickPup1271806
- ElusiveThread2
- MistaaJV
- PubsWubs
I usually send guys that race clean and hard a message after the race and then save and upload the video. I’ll collect the names from my saved files when I get a minute to sit down in front of the game.
Thank you all for posting means a lot to me
But Yea I try to message them direct as well but reading these forms makes for sad reading it’s bout wreckers etc etc but I’ve had few bad races but 90% are really good clean fun races
And I wanted there to be a form that’s bout good racers
Would be nice for turn 10 to give bonus credits or exp for clean passes to encourage the act but till then just something to show other people there are good guys out there

Well this was an interesting find! were you guys the lobby that couldn’t hear me at all? I was having a lot of trouble with my headset last night for some reason.
Either way, that was a fun group of guys to race with. I try to keep everything clean when i run. brake early so i don’t shove someone off if its good clean racing. Sorry ya’ll couldnt hear me last night though.
It’s not your mic it’s the lobby picks and chooses when they work
And you was the gentleman that pitted same time as me and wait for ages to pass me I was in the blue lambo with white strips … It was a good race with you last night hope I see you again in lobby
Mr platt and mr Quinn
Raced hard and fast both respectful of each other
Last corner mr platt clipped Quinn spinng him out platt then waited for Quinn to over take and reclaim his position
I used not know this was a thing until someone knocked me into a wall and waited. Now i do this every time UNLESS it’s a dude knocking everybody off the track. Then I just don’t do it

It’s one of the golden rules that the club I used to race with had as well, and a good habit to get into. I don’t normally do it in Hoppers as I don’t know anybody there, but if I’ve been having good racing with a particular opponent and I take them out by accident, I do drop back as a means of self-punishment.

ok, i remember now. and yeah, i found it much easier to just pressure someone and let them make a mistake than try to crash them out. lol. i hope the gt league racing is as fun as the last batch of sim racing was. But yeah, i was getting really frustrated trying to join in on convo and no one hearing what i had to say. lol

thats how it was way back in forza 1-3 though. if you punted someone off, you pulled over and gave them the spot back. there was also a lot more comunicating with other drivers on passing. i remember the 8 man racing, and calling out “fast on your left” and people sliding right and giving you the spot.
if i really hose a corner and shove someone off, as long as they aren’t racing like an asshat and cutting corners and whatnot, i’ll always give them the spot back.

And that’s why I say your a gentleman sir
I normal give them there spot back regard less ill always take you clean or fail trying lol and gt are good but no where near as good as the sim leauge gt races feel like hoppers to me now lol more rubbing than I’d like …or maybe I need to be more aggressive again
Man… ShadeySpade!
I love what you’ve started…
I personally will make some notes on appreciated clean drivers and have marked this post as a favorite… And… I’m sure it will become a real favorite for many of us optimists that still love the game… Especially when its good!
Leagues seem to be doing what they are supposed to do too!
…So props to Turn 10 for this new feature!
After only a few weeks, the filtering has me in lobbies with people very near my level of skill, and people who I see as crashers are fewer and further between, and often seem to be gone in the next week! I don’t miss them!
…And… This should only get better with time!
So will this Thread!
Thanks!

Thank you
This is the first forza motorsport I’ve played online and the first form I’ve been on that’s game related
And I’ll be honest if is read forum first I probably wouldn’t of brought the game due to all the reported problems and “crashers” out to ruin the game so I just want people to see yes there is this in the game all games have trolls but if you race well and don’t return fire in the next corner you’ll move up in league standing I’m in elite now and almost no crashes “bar turn one”
One day I’ll explain why I decided to play fm6

I’ve had a lot if this as well, and always message them right after. I will look at my messages and come back with the GT’s.

yup, i’ll be on gt racing tonight for sure. just need to actually find and set up a car or two first.
I usually call out good races right after its done and we are back in the lobbies. “good racing P2” and so on. I’ve come across some excellent drivers on here. I’m usually in the top 1% for lap times, but i’ve come across people that are just fast. I move over for them. Unless they cut corners. Then i get a bit more physical
