Someone mentioned the concept of a clan working together to let one of their members win a multiplayer race. I just don't think this is prevalent. I don't even understand how it would be logistically possible - 4 clan members have to all get into the same multiplayer race, having smilarly tuned cars. With no chat feature in the game, how would they sync this up? That's the first problem.

The second problem is that newbs don't stand a chance, so newbs would be ignored. But let's say my Shelby Cobra is the target of a clan in a MP race. Well, first they have to catch me and wreck me. Even working together, there's only so much other racers can do to stalk me and knock me down. In fact, in every MP race, every is always trying to catch me and wreck me because I'm in the lead, or close to the front of the pack. So, I know what it's like to be the target of a hunt. But who cares? Only a SLK 55 SE can overtake my Cobra. And those drivers don't need a clan. They can just win the race solo.

So, I've heard this urban legend of clans prowling multiplayer, but I've never, ever seen it in thousands of races. I've faced racers of rank 3,500 a couple times. They are are interesting experience. Most of the time, I'm racing 1,800-2,000 racers as my top competitors. I never seem to have the car until after everyone else gets it. By the time I get the SLK 55 SE, everyone will have it, probably.
