Ghost Vehicle Option in Races!

[kljy]

Right now, racing in gta rewards only players who came out lucky of a pile of crashing cars instead of skilled drivers. Features like slipstream and catchup are a joke in racing! And even traffic can be unfair aswell (because of lag most of the times). And i'm sick of people either slowing down in the end of the race, just to slipstream the other player to victory or ramming them off the road. Rockstar should implement an option like 'Ghost Vehicles' where cars would be semi-transparent and whenever someone tried to ram them, they would just go through them. This would make the races only skill based, rather of luck. Besides, the coding is already there (when you crash and respawn in a race, your car will be semi-transparent and untouchable for a few seconds) so all they have to do is just make an option for this to be On/Off.

Avoiding pileups doesn't require skill? Knowing that the guy coming up on your ass is going to try and spin you out and knowing what to do to counteract that doesn't require skill? C'mon brosef.

of course not man. most of the races have very tight streets and turns, and there is hardly room for one car, so when 16 players try to squeeze through that (thats what she said), how can you avoid being rammed?

Try slowing down when you think cars are going to pile up

Then watch the pile up unfold before you, quickly plan your path around and then you're all good.

I say no, otherwise those assholes with custom supercars will win every race by default. And that grinds my gears even more than playing dirty. In fact, playing dirty is the only way to win against people with customs.
