So, my group have friends had talked about Sparrow Racing and how it should be a thing months before SRL. You can bet how amazing it was to learn that we would get to race! I've been playing this event for the majority of the past three days it's been up. And I can say, I love the game mode. It's intense, competitive and still fun. Mostly. My only beef, is road rage. How, if two people are neck and neck, and this doesn't have to be first to second place, it can be fifth to last. Either way, it's likely one of those people thinks either: "I may be losing this race, but by shoving this guy who's just trying to play the game around like a ping pong ball, maybe I can feel better about myself!' OR "Hey I deserve to win not this stupid guy who's racing better than I am, so I'm gonna ride up his crack like a pair of skinny jeans."
This behavior makes me sad. It's the same turnoff as Trials for me, some (or multiple) dirt bag wants to win so hard that he does his best to make sure everyone else can't have fun because he's sore about people racing. My point is, why try so hard to focus out that one person? You play games for fun, not to do what you do all day, which for some folks might be being a total jerk.
This is just my simple way of saying, there should be some way to keep people from bully shoving you all over the track. Cause when you want to have fun, not being able to participate in the race is sorta the opposite.
Edit: I understand competitive racing, I even enjoy it in certain games! But some people, get a little too butt hurt. I've won a race, because my friend decided to ram into everyone he could to test out how dumb it was. And really, if you've played other racing games, like maybe Need for Speed, you concentrate more on your own performance than crashing into folk.
