Are you for or against it?
The arguments I have heard so far...
[b]For:[/b]
- Keeps races close. It's often a tight dash to the finish.
- Allows newer players a chance at glory without having to drop $5m+ on a fleet of top-end custom machinery.
[b]Against:[/b]
- Punishes higher-skilled players by handicapping them; they use their skill to get away from the pack only to be dragged back in, leaving them cheated when they get smashed off the track by Laggy McLagface.
- A higher-level player's shiny wheels acquired using hard-earned* cash become worthless.
Personally, I hate catchup.

I find it handy with some races, especially with a few of mine, in a few cases it has kept a race more competitive rather than have people rely on luck
