Well, not really. This would make the MP races boring because if you only raced against your class, everyone would just race a max pro'd Class King. It would be a bit boring. Like a D race would be nothing but RX8 players. A race amongst 900-1000 ranked players would all be in DeZirs. Snore.

I think a bigger problem is that the Elite 1900+ players cheat the system. They go into a ticketed race and exit any race on a track that doesn't favor their car. It's a tiny -2 point penalty. They all seem to have the SLK 55 AMG SE which is a turd on a technical track.

Ex. I've never seen a SLK on Sector 8. The Elite Players give up the ticket and the -2 rating points and try again for Tokyo or Barcelona. Smart, but a loophole and against the spirit of competition. Agile, quicker cars never get to use their advantages against a SLK because the SLK drivers run and hide on short tech tracks. The Elite Players only race when they can take first in the race. They earn 14 points on a 2-lap Barcelona track, and only lose 2 points occasionally when they quit a race they can't win like San Diego 1-lap.

That's what's bull$shit about MP... the -2 penalty is too light. If you exit out of a race, it should deduct points as if you came in last place. That would keep the MP racing more competitive. But the cheaters just pick their battles because of a loophole. I would destroy a SLK in Sector 8 with my Cobra. But they elite nerds only fight unfair fights.

Hey, that's war: like Sun Tzu's "Art of War", always attack when you can win, and retreat when you can't. The Chinese players certainly know this. I just wish GL would remove the ability to exit out of MP races without a stiff penalty. You bring an OP car into a MP race, you're going to have to fight on every track in the game. I think it would make things more balanced.
