I hear you. I did  a TT Spa race earlier today and was hit and passed because of that hit three times.

One was a guy who was probably faster than me on this straight and instead of just taking the inside line and passing me, he sat on my bumper and punted me when I braked for the turn.  

Then that other guy went into a turn alongside me, he on the inside, I left him plenty of room, but he ran as wide as he could and pushed me out of the track. Then I guess he span out somewhere  so I am again in front of him, he divebombs with excessive speed on the inside, hits me, pushes me out of the track and passes me. But in the process he slides a bit, I think, loses speed and  gets on the outside so I switch to the inside and start passing him back. Then he turns hard to the inside, hits me again and spins me out completely, I lose several positions.

If you don't get an apology PM from whoever that was in the next 24 hours, I think you record a replay of it and report them. I know I don't want to be on the track with this type of behavior.

I think tryhards in this instance means the people that will try really really hard to make as many places up as possible in t1, and then go for the 50/50 gap in t2, t3 & t4 as opposed to the good guys who will take it easy in t1, let things spread out for a lap or 2 and then try to have a good race with the similar speed drivers that have settled around them...

Ah... I think the general vernacular of the term "tryhard" is someone who takes something very seriously, as opposed to casually. It is usually meant as being derogatory, but I self-identify as a tryhard in pretty much every game I play. And I certainly don't drive like that.
