I have only gotten like, two messages that were a little "iffy" on good sportsmanship so to speak. But I did have one fellow who became extremely lucky in the beginning of a venom race with his pickups, and then proceeded to gloat about excessively how badly he "stomped" me. Little did he know that I hold the global 14th rank of that track in time trial so he soon shut himself up when his luck was overcome. Both that race and the next (which he increased the laps on, maybe thinking he'd have a better chance or that he could read my lines).

Then I went about my quick PS+button text messaging from the players met list and got a little shot at him for boasting all before we returned to the lobby and I bounced. The second I can't really recall, but it was similar. But most times I'm either extraordinarily in the lead, or I'm in the middle of the contenders (and in rare cases, last). The latter of which is almost always when I am playing with the names I see on this site.

And I still think I am terrible at this game. I feel a little more confident on Pure, but this game really confuses me as to how I should feel about my capabilities. I don't hit a lot of walls, okay, I win a lot of online races, okay. Should feel pretty good. Then I get to the Chenghou hairpin and I start thinking I know nothing about how to play the game. It's a little interesting.
