There are only two things bugging me at the moment, and actually started to irritate me today.

The first is the fact that hosts control the rooms in ranked races. If the host feels he isn't going to win, some (not all) players will just quit, wasting everyone elses time. I believe there should be a way for the race to continue to the end if the host decides it isn't worth his time to stay.

The second is when starting a race, sometimes there is a player or two whose connection doesn't like someone else's. This causes the room to halt at the loading screen just before the start. I wish there was some way to leave the room from there, since (correct if I'm wrong) the only way to do it now is to restart the game.

These are a couple of annoying things that I see. I'm still enjoying an excellent game so far, though. Some people can't see a game for what it has, instead they look for what it doesn't have. Thanks for a great game (I'm sure you don't hear that enough).

Hmm, no one seems interested. Does anyone have anything else to add? Or am I just rambling and these issues don't really bother anyone else?

I want to hear what more of you think to know whether or not I'm crazy. :)

im to lazy to read a full paragraph I guess;). I have actually posted about this beofre in another thread my sugestion was as soon as the race was confirmed and everyone readyed up. To take the players rank down that way if they quit out in the middle of a race they lost there rank also the last person left would be considered the winner and should be able to play by themselfs as you said. Also I think this would be just as important in instant challange to lower there rank / money and the winner gets it back plus theres at the end of the race. This just seems like a simple suloution to me yet games never seem to implement it this way and I fail to see why.
