This is sad, this event has only just start a few days ago and already people are attempting to use unfair advantages to be able to be in the lead during the SRL event. I've already spotted the first two people trying to work together to attempt this horrid act.
I did eventually catch on to what exactly it was they were doing. One of them, was hanging back at the starting lineup trying to block the first thruster plate on Mars. While on the other hand her friend was the only one out of them that was moving around on the track. What was happening was she'd purposely block other races including me but only moved away from the plate for her friend. Then it occurred to me that she was doing this intentionally just so her friend could get in 1st.
Can you please make a system so people like this are kicked out of the race after 5secs of not being willing enough to follow the objective. if there not even trying to race the just trying to ruin the fun for everyone else. I have no problem with afk'ers because they're eventually sent to orbit after they have been away for too long, but if their actually moving and are trying to block boost plates from other players it's not very nice. Especially when they only move away from it for their fire team members. After preventing everyone else in the race from hitting/driving over it.
1)Edit- " Gosh, just reading everyone's comments is so shocking I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing these types of issues. TYSM for your support. "
2)Edit-" So many kind words in the comment below pointed towards me as well, I feel just the same for you too. Your right and yes I have been turning the corners sharper to avoid getting blocked & I'm even good at (Sparrow Racing League) too. It does make you good inside after you've beaten others trying to cheese their way to victory in SRL. "
3)Edit-"Well now I have to say I wasn't expecting this it looks look we're starting a trending stage over 100 Replies as of now Thank you so much for your support & even if bungie isn't able to fix this issue I'm glad some people in this community are feeling the same way. ^^ "
4)Edit-" Just In case for those of you who aren't really aware what the cheese is in the "SRL Event" it is when two or more individuals guardians from a fire team or randoms who just started a in-game party so no one else can hear them talking about using a exploit to win races. It's abusing one simple area of the track one stays behind and doesn't participate in the race at all at all while the other one takes part in the event. Meanwhile the one who chose to stay behind decides to purposely drives their sparrow towards the nearest boost plate and parks his or her sparrow directly in front of the boost plate in the beginning of a race in a sideways like manner during the starting lineup After the 3second countdown is done. They then try to attempt hitting/cutting off other races whom are trying to pass them time and time again who are trying go toward the plate to gain a short burst of speed. Thus using the lethal thrust " perk " on the sparrow shifting side by side to throw other people off and continue doing this throughout the entire race. Until their is in the lead for the remainder of the race. "

Or they could make it like some of the races on GTA V. Where you just go through the enemy as if they weren't there. Kind of like players on the tower not in your fire team.
