I've tried joining a race while free racing with my brother while he was ticketed. It worked only once or twice.

One time, I tried joining and leaving a lobby around 30 times in 5 minutes to get into my brother's lobby (at the same rank) with both of us pressimg "go" at the same time. It was impossible to get into his lobby.

However, I've noticed how players like Fireball Mojyo and Jean can join each others' races instantly and with ease. The only reason why I saw them "flashing", that is joining and leaving constantly, was to get away from me (since they know I'm decent and they only want to fight newbies). The flashing is not an indicator that they were having difficulty joining each others' games.

According to Fireball Nao, I'm simply "unskilled" and it takes a Pro to lobby into games with friends with a free racer who is also in Champion/Elite. I don't think skill has anything tto do with it; they must have used some kind of exploit or hack to join each others' games so easily.

By the way, in this game, skill = 10%, map knowledge and tricks = 20%, money = 30%, and time = 40% of any given player's overall performance. I'm just pointing out that skill is not super important. I unlocked the Cobra in 4 months, tuned it in 2 weeks (0501 5050, 1245), then went into Multiplayer without ever using it before or practising with it. I got into Champion League from rating 1700 in around 3 days using 40 tickets (I was lazy and bought a 10 ticket pack since I wanted the races to be finished all at omce; I was also triple boosted). The Cobra is so OP. It requires some skill for drifting and nitro management, as well as split-second decision making and special alternate routes, but not that much. [I beat a 1285-ranked Cobra at rating 2182 who was triple boosted and started in front of me on a one lap race without wrecking; he took ONE wromg ramp to try to get nitro, and it slowed him down. I also destroyed an SLK at rank ~1190, who was faster than me and a Camaro in the race with us, on 2 laps of one of the Rio maps. The SLK kept trying to overtake but I kept bumping him by positioning myself in front of him on the Radar, and he eventually overtook me near the end, but then I wrecked him just before the finish line and both I and the Camaro overtook him. I also beat a lot of other Camaros and Cobras who were 1800-2200 rating.] Still, all of that could not be done if I didn't have an OP car, and that OP car costed me lots of cards, a million credits, and four months...
