More often than not the servers are full of crashers and cheats who my mother could beat in an actual fair race. Most people still haven't realised what racing is about. I don't care if I win or lose as long as I have a good battle with someone. Many think differently as I often get crashed out of first place and the crasher proudly declares "Gewonnen!"
I have yet to see someone try and ruin a race in rooms with good restrictions set, particularly HP and skid recovery. Shop around for a no-aid, <404hp room and enjoy racing again!
