I think the penalty system should be scrapped entirely. Iracings penalty/report system is 10x better in every way. The penalty system and dirty drivers on gt7 are the reason i do not race sport mode.
I played the game again for the 1st time in about 3 months the other day. Got wiped out on the straight at spa twice. I don't think I'll bother playing again. If they add a single player quest or something I might, but online, nah.
Kimi is merely playing to the rules of the game. All of these dirty tactics are legal if left unpunished. Ironically it is all of us "clean" drivers that are playing the game wrong. That said I am massively disappointed to see Polyphony does not care about fixing this problem.
Polyphone caring is a joke really :) They still havent done anything to the retarded AI the single player has, where the AI just brakes at the apex of corners :P
All those that have had the ‘pleasure’ to drive against him are, collateral damage!😂😂😂 If this is true though, they’ve done nothing to right the wrong of the system!
I still believe he works for the competition. If he annoys enough people they'll want to quit sport mode and eventually GT7 and try out another racing game online.
The worst is ramming in the turns, and people divebombing and pushing you wide. Or letting you pass then ramming you at an angle of turning, then spinning you out. I’ve actually had clean races with Kimi. And I thank him afterwards.
I just watched a video of Kimi-Velocini running clean. I believe it was against someone by the likes of "Mr. Nice" or something? I was dumbfounded, considering all the dirty driving videos of him. Hell I thought there was a glitch in the MATRIX or something...
About the dive bombing, if I'm withing .3 seconds of you and you leave the space, I'm trying to take it. If I'm .4 seconds behind, less likely. On long straights, I try to bump draft, but a lot of drivers think it's aggressive and panic or brake check in retaliation of helping them go faster
@@mohnishramdonee2092 what are the rules of racing? Do you know? Going into a turn, if you’re behind, it’s divebombing. If you’re side by side it’s validated. If you hit me, you’re at fault. Those are the rules. I have no problem with bump drafting. I do that as well. It’s a good way to get more distance between you and drivers behind you. If you want, I will post the link for you. Or you can look up sim racing rules.
@bsrodeo7s at a turn if you underbrake the other guy and he is taking a wide line, I will take the tighter line, even if I'm already my front wheel to his back wheels. Otherwise I don't fight for the position. It's faster for both of us that way. If u feeling ourself, u can also go for a switcheroo. No sure why u asking me for the rules... my rule is if there is space to take, take it.
@@mohnishramdonee2092 here’s the rule for passing. Passing The passing driver is responsible for making a safe pass at a safe time. It is the responsibility of both drivers to make sure that a safe pass is made. Failure to do so may result in a penalty. Entering a turn, the passing driver must at least get their front wheels even with the rear wheels of the car they are passing before the point of turn-in, to have earned the right to a racing lane. At this point the driver being passed is responsible to leave a lane open. Bump-passing is not allowed and may be subject to penalty unless the offending driver gives back the pass, even if it occurred accidentally. Bump-passing is defined as the passing driver nudging the car ahead to make it unstable, then passing it while the passed driver is recovering control. Blocking is not allowed for any reason. Blocking is defined as altering the race line more than once in reaction to another driver in an attempt to prevent a pass. Blocking will be penalized.
He doesn't work for them. Knowing the penalty system doesn't necessarily mean he's associated with them. He may just be rubbing the penalty system in their faces since they don't make changes. He's clearly a racing troll. If it was a matter of getting data from him, well, they have terrabytes of it by now. And if he is working for them, why are they allowing him to continue to ruin months and months of races for their customers? What kind of an a-hole project would that be? I'm not saying it's beyond them, just unlikely because it requires interest and effort. They seem to have neither in supply.
Agreed, just wanted to comment in a similar way. Every (I GUESS) software company pushes their product through various stages, from the early drafts to the developers and testers, even before they even think about the roll-out. This applies to updates as well. I mean, when they change BoP and physics, they do it offline. Why should they test the penalty system online? And making the customership angry? Even if only 7 to 12% (can't remember the figures, sorry) play online, why would you make them angry? Don't get me wrong, if this was click-bait, then it worked.
Nonsense theory. More likely he's exploiting the obvious glitch that exists when using countersteering assist. What a useless way to 'test' the penalty system. Nice click bait though...
Exactly. This is nonsense. They wouldn't have him test this is live, high ranked races, where he's fucking over legit players. Is the stupidest theory I've ever heard.
Polyphony Digital, a highly respected and prestigious Japanese game development studio is paying a Spaniard to drive around in a bright pink car adorned with anime waifu. Seems legit 😂
Kimi is just one driver with some serious notoriety, and this obviously drives him, however; there are so many other Kimi wannabe's in the daily races. I don't bother with dailies because of this, so, you are right, the penalty system is in favour of dirty drivers who know how to avoid penalties and ruin a good race. Not just Kimi.
I no longer run daily races because of the crap that goes on. I only run the big events and make sure I race the early race times. I think once a driver drives a race and see that they are causing issues ghost them during the race and then band them for 24hrs of online racing. Then if they keep doing it over and over Band them for a month or more.
You cant ban someone from playing a game they own (pysical disc) and to separate the physicals from digital (you NEVER own digital) is too hard and unfair.
He's just a standard troll IMO. I haven't seen anything from videos or experiences in races with him that doesn't make me think he's simply getting his kicks ruining other people's fun. If PD were organised enough to have people stress-testing the penalty system, don't you think we'd have seen more rapid/any tangible improvements in it? Rather than him being evidence of PD testing their own system, he's really just evidence that they don't. Kimi has worked out that their penalty system says approaching the game in this way is acceptable so he just carries on having *his* kind of fun at our expense.
I have noticed many changes through the penalties. I had a pause for about 9 months. And before that. You could bump, get a pen and that was pretty much it. Now, even minor contact also affects your SR, not always a pen with it bur Sr still affected where it wasn't before. So they are constantly changing it.
Absolute joke of a system. Getting rammed off the track to last place, getting penalised for someone ramming into me, often these issues go for multiple sessions, greatly impacting on my DR, what's the point? Have considered moving to ACC.
I'm a father of 3 who has been playing GT since the beginning and it's been a big part of my life for over 25 years. It's something I have a big passion for. I really like Sport Mode and the thrill of the Manufacturers/Nations cup series. Now, being a father of 3 with commitments and career, I have very little time to enjoy the game. Going into the Manufacturers/Nations, I probably get only 1 or 2 timeslots to do a full Quali/Race so when we get these people who ruin people's races, it's a huge frustration. You practice the car and circuit, get a good quali, then get rammed on the first lap so what is the point? These games are for people with time to burn. The idiots need banning.
Not with that livery. As an attorney i would never advise my corporate client to ruin a paying customer race without a disclaimer and especially with the distasteful and misogynistic liveries. Cmon man hehe😊
This weeks Spa race of which I have watched and raced in and I have received penalties for infringements, that other people did not get, even though the incident itself was exactly the same. Like being rammed for making a clean pass on someone and forced off track, or passing someone who was wide on the corner and had just been passed, they did not like that and rammed me on the opposite side of the track and I got pinged for colliding with a car, 3 seconds, how exactly does that work, because it makes no sense to me. That is one of many reasons why I hate the game now.
Testing the penalty system would only make sense if he logged in, did a few crashes and then logged out. But he's doing it again and again and nothing ever changes.
It would explain a lot if that were so. I was against him in a B lobby and I guess he needed to get back to A+ and had a dream of a race. No contacts at all.
The day we’ll all realise that PD has no interest in creating a SIM, but leaving GT7 exactly as it is, ie an arcade racing “video-game” - we are all going to live happily ever after… plenty of SIMs out there, GT7 ain’t one… (the fact that GT7 it’s not available on PC, have you ever wondered why?!)
I have always wondered why is he still an A+ driver, normally he should have been resetted 1 million times, and we all know how long it takes to get back upto A+🤷♂️
THere's no way they would employ a person to join live races and infuriate the people that purchased and enjoy the game. If that was true, its even more reason to stop playing this game
OK PD if you watch this and read the comments, I'm 35 years old. Been playing GT since 90s on ps1.. you started to lose me in GT6 with the pen system, now I just don't play GT7 after all the hype of it to be let down by your lack of giving a shit. Boycot gt7
No way that's true. Kimi is just a dirty driver showing everyone what a joke the penalty system is. polyphony wouldn't use Kimi to collect data and ruin other players racers. I really think that polyphony don't have an answer for the penalty system and can't make it work fair and consistently. I wouldn't even think is even possible. There has been times where I've come around the corner hit a car bt accident that lost control and I'm the one that gets the penalty. And then yiu have times where your pushed into a wall or off the track and no penalty is given.
My question would be, if this is a Dev driver for polophony, then why can this not be tested on private servers with other players, and why does he have to have that skin on the car in a public lobby?
This HAS to be a joke. Or at the very least a weak attempt at satire. PD doesn't have him testing anything. They just don't give a rat's ass about punishing people like him because it would negatively effect the player count on a game that many are already disappointed with.
This actually makes a lot of sense. I always wondered how he would have the time/ability to rank up to the top split whilst being so notoriously dirty. He probably has the ability to pick his lobbies. Is it Kimi Räikkönen? 😂
Need more evidence to substantiate the claim he is working for polyphony. This is why I don’t race online because it’s not a fair race it’s ruins the game with this nonsense going on. Imagine an online GT world with perfect fair racing rooms and also rooms where you can do that sort of stuff divide it and stop it happening polyphony. If bans need to come in for intentionally ruining races to win then so be it
People like him are the reason I don’t play anymore. Tired of the garbage that PD allows. If they don’t care then I don’t care to play their game! My uncle, son and daughter also stopped playing GT7.
There is only one problem with this theory. It would suggest that PD is ok with ruining players DR and SR in the name of testing. A questionable practise.
if they don't sort out the penalty system then people will get fed up and race elsewhere,the game is fabulous great fantastic etc BUT it's not perfect! It's work in progress,my opinion is WATCH THIS SPACE! it's not a quick fix! respect Kireth keep up the the good work
Love how your driver rating and sportsmanship go wooden still when you get rammed when you’re avoiding in traffic management. Also, getting penalties when you rammed still. Online sucks.
I believe that if a car is travelling 30% faster or more than the average for a corner, they should be ghosted to omit the senseless ramming of others already in the corner. Cheers, dd?.
Listen I seen this guy hit the hang break on an apex to hit a car on the outside and took him out which will tell you this guy is really good at this game
I dislike how a pit lane penalty is more severe than a ram or punt sometimes. 3 secs for a pit lane. Why cant its be .5 secs. I accidentally hit someone in the back and got a 2 sec which I deserve but 3 secs for a pit lane violation. Punts should 10 secs if I had a say. I mean the game can tell the size of an impact right? Punts are violent and intentional.
They need to start doing temporary bans for racers like Kimi and Momoz. I think if you have more than 3 forcing others of the track penalties in one race you should get a 2 day ban.
So... the thinking here is that Kimi is actually some kind of undercover Polyphony associate who is trying to gather data on why and where their ruleset fails during online races? If Polyphony is secretly sending people out to ruin other peoples races in order to stress test their code.... I mean, truly garbage developers. More likely that they have the data from hundreds of thousands of races, replays, and social media posts to point to in order to improve their systems, and Kimi is just some random person who has spent years exploiting GTs lackluster penalty system for their own benefit and will continue doing so until someone steps in to stop it.
So your saying that they test the flaws in the penalty system. Expose flaws in the penalty system. Then still leave us with a flawed penalty system ?????????
@@Kireth Worse than Evil. Likely a maniacal demented B-word. HAL (2001: A Space Odyssey) will be proud but very disappointed that his descendants are tormented race-wreaking slaves on a sim-racing server.
He shouldn't get any penalties because at the time what he did hasn't broken the rules of the games system, or else it would have given him a penalty. Most "clean" drivers apply driving rules to themselves that are not coded into the game. He's simply playing the game within the rules. Its the game they made. It's how it works at that time. He didn't do anything wrong. IT IS A CRASH EM UP DERBY GAME because there are no rules against it. Jist because it has pro cars and races doesn't mean it's a pro game with pro driving rules.
Surely, PD want people to pay to do online races? Therefore, why are they allowing Kimi to make paying customers give up and walk away? It doesn't make business sense. If it was a competitor doing it, surely they could ban the account? None of it makes sense.
Sport mode is brutal. I’m in b lobbies and people spin me out all the time and there goes my clean race. I think it’s bs and I stop playing the game out of pure frustration and go play nfs or trackmania
I really do not think he's a PD Penalty Tester. My main thought process of this is that most of his liveries, some would find offensive, especially parents of young children. I just don't see it, but with PD, who the hell knows? Most epic troll ever in a video game if true!
It does not make any sense why this "penalty tester" is only in the European area, not in the North Americas, not in the Pacific / Aisa, just in Euro. Also you Kireth are the leading YT content provider posting about this KIMI, hmmm why?
Been playing since launch, never met the guy and can you guess why? I don’t do sport mode for obvious reasons, its literally the last trophy i need for a plat. I hate dirty driving, i hate sport mode for it. And now i hate this kimi guy too 😂 ty
I don't believe it. There is no reason to have him do this in high ranked races and messing up ranks when it would be just as effective in lower ranked races. Polyphonic would be testing this in a closed lobby, in house. This is not how companies test systems, by fucking over the customers.
I think there is too much dirty driving all around,that doesn't t get punished,this is not a job,it's played for fun,and being run off,by whoever should have a penalty associated with it,but,especially him
SIMPLY NOT TRUE. Kimi doesn’t work for PD and I’m sure they don’t condone his actions. I’m not talking about on the track. If you saw the things he says in the lobby to Ukrainian drivers about Putin and the war, there is no way PD would associate themselves with that
Do you think the penalty system in GT7 should be improved?? 👇👇
Well, Kimi is doing his best to enforce it 😂
I think the penalty system should be scrapped entirely. Iracings penalty/report system is 10x better in every way. The penalty system and dirty drivers on gt7 are the reason i do not race sport mode.
@salty_jedi u get a lot of kids that complain about the most obscure nonsense tho they will cry if they don't get their way
It’s been improved and what would you post if kimi didn’t make content for you?
Hopefully you are compensating him.
I played the game again for the 1st time in about 3 months the other day. Got wiped out on the straight at spa twice. I don't think I'll bother playing again. If they add a single player quest or something I might, but online, nah.
If he is testing for pd… why isn’t the penalty system better?
Kimi is merely playing to the rules of the game. All of these dirty tactics are legal if left unpunished. Ironically it is all of us "clean" drivers that are playing the game wrong. That said I am massively disappointed to see Polyphony does not care about fixing this problem.
This should be a very high priority for them 👍👍
Impossible for penalty system to be perfect, unless you want racing incidents giving you penalties, it's way too easy to make it seem like an accident

if they don't sort out the penalty system then people will get fed up and race elsewhere,the game is fabulous great fantastic etc BUT it's not perfect! It's work in progress,my opinion is WATCH THIS SPACE! it's not a quick fix! respect Kireth keep up the the good work
Love how your driver rating and sportsmanship go wooden still when you get rammed when you’re avoiding in traffic management.
Also, getting penalties when you rammed still. Online sucks.
I believe that if a car is travelling 30% faster or more than the average for a corner, they should be ghosted to omit the senseless ramming of others already in the corner. Cheers, dd?.
Could be the way!!
That first race was absolutely hilarious 😂 I love kimi
“Okay gang we’ve caught kimi time to take off the mask to see who’s behind it”
*takes off mask*
“OH MY GOD ITS RAM_SHADOW_GT!!!”
😅😅9
Could Kimi really be...... an information gathering and a fact reporting A.I. posing as a HUMAN ?!
DUN DUUN DUUUUUUUUN
👀👀👀👀
oh wow!!...someone already beat me to that thought....ahhh great minds think alike. @@Kireth
I believe Kimi is max verstapen undercover trolling people online.
Wow! Simply, wow! I get penalties all the time for a slight bump, when THEY brake early. Smdh
But mysteriously he doesn't!!
Listen I seen this guy hit the hang break on an apex to hit a car on the outside and took him out which will tell you this guy is really good at this game
I dislike how a pit lane penalty is more severe than a ram or punt sometimes. 3 secs for a pit lane. Why cant its be .5 secs. I accidentally hit someone in the back and got a 2 sec which I deserve but 3 secs for a pit lane violation. Punts should 10 secs if I had a say. I mean the game can tell the size of an impact right? Punts are violent and intentional.
They need to start doing temporary bans for racers like Kimi and Momoz. I think if you have more than 3 forcing others of the track penalties in one race you should get a 2 day ban.
Get in contact with him and do a interview. The only way to get answers is ask the man himself!

Well according to this 80% GT7 players are PD testers! 😱
I see what you did here 😅😅
So... the thinking here is that Kimi is actually some kind of undercover Polyphony associate who is trying to gather data on why and where their ruleset fails during online races? If Polyphony is secretly sending people out to ruin other peoples races in order to stress test their code.... I mean, truly garbage developers. More likely that they have the data from hundreds of thousands of races, replays, and social media posts to point to in order to improve their systems, and Kimi is just some random person who has spent years exploiting GTs lackluster penalty system for their own benefit and will continue doing so until someone steps in to stop it.
Yeah. FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE INTERNET! CLICKBATE!!!
So your saying that they test the flaws in the penalty system. Expose flaws in the penalty system. Then still leave us with a flawed penalty system ?????????
4D chess 😅
So, that must mean that there are multiple instances of Kimi Velocini across the whole World's GT servers. Kimi Velocini must be an AI then.
Evil Sophy sister?
@@Kireth Worse than Evil. Likely a maniacal demented B-word. HAL (2001: A Space Odyssey) will be proud but very disappointed that his descendants are tormented race-wreaking slaves on a sim-racing server.
I recently stoppen playing GT7 i'm Just DONE
Damn sorry to hear this bro!!
He shouldn't get any penalties because at the time what he did hasn't broken the rules of the games system, or else it would have given him a penalty.
Most "clean" drivers apply driving rules to themselves that are not coded into the game. He's simply playing the game within the rules.
Its the game they made. It's how it works at that time. He didn't do anything wrong. IT IS A CRASH EM UP DERBY GAME because there are no rules against it. Jist because it has pro cars and races doesn't mean it's a pro game with pro driving rules.
Is Kimi the track test dummy for Sophie AI????? Hence no or very few penalties 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
In real life if you were to do these things, you'd get sentenced to years of prison.
Surely, PD want people to pay to do online races? Therefore, why are they allowing Kimi to make paying customers give up and walk away? It doesn't make business sense. If it was a competitor doing it, surely they could ban the account?
None of it makes sense.
Penalty system definitely needs a rework bruh 🤦♂️
Sport mode is brutal. I’m in b lobbies and people spin me out all the time and there goes my clean race. I think it’s bs and I stop playing the game out of pure frustration and go play nfs or trackmania
The pay for sport mode is even worse
I really do not think he's a PD Penalty Tester. My main thought process of this is that most of his liveries, some would find offensive, especially parents of young children. I just don't see it, but with PD, who the hell knows? Most epic troll ever in a video game if true!
This explains a lot 🤔
If pd wanted to do this surely they'd do it in the lower lobbies. D lobbies certainly test the penalty system!
It does not make any sense why this "penalty tester" is only in the European area, not in the North Americas, not in the Pacific / Aisa, just in Euro.
Also you Kireth are the leading YT content provider posting about this KIMI, hmmm why?
Trying to investigate this absolute mystery James, like I did with Momoz!
Penalty system in this game is a joke.
Surely PD could test the penalty system offline.
Would make sense but have you seen any improvements 😅
Been playing since launch, never met the guy and can you guess why? I don’t do sport mode for obvious reasons, its literally the last trophy i need for a plat.
I hate dirty driving, i hate sport mode for it. And now i hate this kimi guy too 😂 ty
Only penalties I ever seem to see are for track limits
Yeah like he is immune?
Well his Liveries do feature "Dirty Performance" and "Dirty Race" so.......
D Double E alt account
I don't believe it. There is no reason to have him do this in high ranked races and messing up ranks when it would be just as effective in lower ranked races.
Polyphonic would be testing this in a closed lobby, in house. This is not how companies test systems, by fucking over the customers.
Meanwhile I got penalties for things that weren't entirely my fault.
If this is true this pisses me off even more than the game already does
They cant test this privately on a test server. No! lets just piss the players off. Absolutely bullshit.
Long life to the GOAT Kimi. His racing style is pure poetry.
Uhh
Sure, I would have to agree with you...
If you're playing WRECKFEST...
Imagine acting normal by giving no penalty, to all the brutality going on. Why?
KIMI È l'orgoglio d'Italia
I thought he is Spanish
I think there is too much dirty driving all around,that doesn't t get punished,this is not a job,it's played for fun,and being run off,by whoever should have a penalty associated with it,but,especially him
But, Do you think Polyphony would promote the stickers he has over his cars? Some of them are really rude and sexual.
Very good point!
well obviously the penalty system he's testing don't work..
SIMPLY NOT TRUE. Kimi doesn’t work for PD and I’m sure they don’t condone his actions. I’m not talking about on the track. If you saw the things he says in the lobby to Ukrainian drivers about Putin and the war, there is no way PD would associate themselves with that
if true, this is the worst possible way to test your penalty system.
Yeah nah, you’ve been trolled, as if PD would go against thier sportsmanship video against live users, not to mention the durex livery
