Is it me or is the online racing pointless? Seems nearly all servers run damage and every race is a demo derby with people deliberatley smashing people off! Seriously what's the point. The online racing is so much better in forza. It's beyond a joke now, my laps are as fast as the leaders and yet because I have been binned off in the early stages of the race I stand no chance.
I play forza 2 a lot and I am nearly up to Champion 26 (I'm on Pro 25 at the mo)
If i loose a race to someone lower ranked I drop points and I always get a noob in a Skyline (fast acceleration) smashing everyone out the way from the start messing everything else up.
I am very fast with the F50GT so if i am up against Pro 22's or lower I get out of the way at the start, let the noobs smash everything up and spin off, then work on the leaders when everyone is spaced out.
If I host I take damage off, but there is nothing worse than a grid full of idiots smashing everyone out the way!
