I rarely play OMP as its pure filth and full of rammers who have no sense of decorum or atleast a minimum sense of direction. The last time I played OMP was last year sometime during fall. People ramming you off at every corner, sideswiping and crashing into you just for the hell of it. On top of it, the regular flying cars, teleportation, cars dropping from the sky on the race track and not to forget the ghost cars. I had enough of it.

However during this update, after I completed Huracán Championship during the instant service day, I had nothing else to do so settled down for farming with all the 3 EC LMPs. During the weekend, I got tired of farming as well so dived into OMP with the full intention of rage quitting after a few mins.

Well surprise surprise! I ended up playing the entire weekend and ranked somewhere in the Top 90s on the global leaderboard (must have dropped a few places). I was amazed at the quality of players and the racing. No one smashed into each other on the turns, there were no ghost cars, flying or parachuting cars & for some reasons there are no rammers at all. Its like they just went away. There was the occassional jostling for space around hairpins at Suzuka, HK, Nurburgring & bumper scraping on the straights of Silverstone, LeMans, Catalunya etc. but nothing as substantial as intentional crashing. People were braking & slowing down for turns! Slower cars didn't run across the track after going offtrack to kill me from overtaking them. More so, I had quite a few high intensity races where I either won by 20-30yds or came 2nd by as that much. I had such a great experience/fun during the weekend that I didn't go online on GT Sport once.

I had such a great time in OMP that I am questioning myself, what is wrong with it? How come everyone is so well behaved suddenly? Where are the rammers and other flying cars which made it so frustrating?
