stop ramming in standard races

[Cwinny24]

They really gotta add something to avoid ramming in normal races in Gta Online it really annoys the f*** out of me. Whats would be a good solution to this problem? Racing just isnt fun anymore this way

[Zarathustra71]

There is no solution. Not a workable one anyway. Either see it as a challenge, ram them back or only race with like-minded people.

[cloudserverslol]

whats your gamer tag op i wont crash into you i swear

[beat_savy_9]

OP, there is no solution, race with randoms, assume a wreak, it's caused by many factors, predominantly, in my opinion, novice driving skills. However, the slip stream contributes significantly to the phenomenon, adding to the difficulty bad drivers face in regards to control.

Light at the end of the tunnel is impromptu races which have no slip and no ketchup.

[Happy_Killstick]

I ram people in standard race because they have better vehicles than me and i want to get ahead a little because i know they will catchup

[Hodgey.]

It's just always going to happen so you have to learn to live with it like I have. Racing is still fun though.

[Kalel 813]

Ha ha. Its never going to stop. Even "legit" racers do it after they figure they can't win. You either get out to a huge early lead or stsy back and wait for the riff raff to be done. I can't tell you how many times I've been running 1st/2nd in a decent race for the person who I thought was running legit to change Nd try to spin me out last minute

Just invite them to a 1v1 quick scope no scope match afterwards

Join apex stalkersbif you are a fair racer. Cant post link with phone, just google the crew.

[Aljohnk]

Dude, it's called winning. Once there's a competition, trust no one.

[MagicFN]

And what if I say "no"?

[Jlogano22]

Rubbing is racing.....

[Psycholoons]

I tried being nice for a long time in random racing, but i just figured there was no point. Ram them all and use slip stream to your advantage. Another tip is choosing a adder for supercars, it makes ramming and doing whacky stuff legit. Its a dog eat dog game, but it would be nice to have an option to race cleaner.

[Zwenkwiel]

NO!

That's true. I like to think that I am a very clean racer and I wont hit people on purpose at all unless they do it to me everytime they are near me. However I will say the only time that I will ram is if it close to the finish line as I want to win even if I have to be unfair to do so.

[Lucius Aelius]

There are plenty of clean racing crews out there, that's your solution, as it is even when playing "standard" races this is still GTA, it's not supposed to be filled with hugs and kisses. Ramming can be annoying sure but it's like having Traffic on while racing, sure it sucks when some random NPC pulls some crazy maneuver when I'm winning and it costs me the race, but whenever I race with Traffic off I'm left feeling bored throughout the entire race. It doesn't always go your way, but having ramming in the race makes it more challenging and (for me) more interesting and entertaining. If you want clean racing without any GTA components, you probably shouldn't be playing GTA.

fishtail or get fishtailed

[jdwarfer]

Some ghost mode would be a good solution IMO.

[cwo-reynolds]

I don't always race cars, but when I do I smash into anyone around me. Stay butthurt my friends

stop ramming in races, Err No..

[LeAristocrat]

Yeah, not much you can do about it. Just learn how to counter or spin out of pits.

[Zarathustra71]

And ignore the clowns on here who revel in their ramming. They'll be the ones who ram you, f*ck it up, crash and leave.

Ghosting. Other racing games do it. Should be an option in the lobby.

[mfoster09]

Oooooorrrrr u could go play a legit racing game. But I'm sure u can pit people in those games 2. Part of street racing in a digital world.

[CarimboHanky]

i dont do races but hope you never find me online, 'cause ill invite you to a race with sole purpose of RAMMING YOU!!!!

Light at the end of the tunnel is impromptu races which have no slip and no ketchup.

And no cash

Lag also adds to the annoyance

Not really a solution for me. Although obviously plenty do like to play that way. I don't see the point. You might as well race alone and just compare times on a leader board.

This...^

 

 

I bet the majority of ramming in races is due to connection and not actually dirty drivers. People just can't tell the difference.

 

 

As far as public games go, I expect it to be dirty.

 

Its the snake in the grasses racers that annoy me. The ones that drive clean the entire race and then got a big pit near the end.

[Chinsei]

the only solution is drive better! ... most people don't see a point in not crashing they follow the 'win at any cost' mindset so they crash into people especially since they don't have to pay to repair there vehicle.

i don't think there should be a game mechanic that prevents it that would remove the challenge of races . sometimes its the only way you can get pass someone is force them to spin out. personally i do my best not to crash into anyone but it doesn't stop them from crashing into me ^.^ its annoying but it also makes it challenging.
