This is a good idea and could be implemented into online racing to sort the noobs from the hardcore, and maybe then we could get some clean races on the go. for those that hate this and would not do it they all can stay with no rank and smash up derby \Pass the school get a rank and so on...just one way out of many to try and clean up online races/
Perhaps add in the rfTrainers in the next build, the cars are easy to learn, and are not so powerful. GTR2 has a nice tutorial.
There is a tonne of free reading material on the internet about basic cornering, braking etc. Maybe ISI could add benchmark laptimes for their own developed tracks? Just a suggestion.
