I have done online racing since probably around 2005ish, and the online races (the good games anyway) would have a practice session, then we all agree to vote to race. I feel that would benefit this game TREMENDOUSLY. It would give structure/foundation to created lobbies that way if you're by yourself, no issue, but you will only be able to practice. This is a great game but online is just your meat n potatoes, and maybe beef up the AI a lil cause we are passing the whole field on 30%, sometimes close to TWO times.
