Sochi Sprint

[StoicSouthpaw 5]

Always wondered what marvelous brains decided to start the Sprint Race at Sochi before the last corner. No rationale. There is enough track on the straight before the start/finish line.

I was wondering about the same thing.  Most probably a bug because it happens once in a while.

Not for me. It happens all the time. Whether I have the inside line or I am on the out (like in the video), there's always a crash and always the car on the outside loses. I feel for the opponents when they too get a contact penalty or go wide for no fault of their own. This needs to change.

I know, sht like that don’t just happen at Sochi, sht happens to me quite often, makes me wanna throw my controller at a bch!

Worse yet it starts you right behind the tail of an AI while your opponent has a clean line in front.

I figured it was because the race starts the same time before the start line so at Sochi it is a couple of corners back. Never timed them though.

If you check the quail mode, the start is on the straight. There’s enough track.
