Also, the spirit of OMP is not that a car that accélérates slowly but has excellent grip let pass a missile car with awful grip that will be a nuisance in the next curve. Getting in front should be earnt, not given...

several things may happen in such situations : A) you have a missile (Venom, 675LT, etc.) : you are fine when accelerating and can overtake easily cars with lower acceleration. When braking and taking curves, you are vulnerable to being passed by a car with better grip that may be a nuisance in the next straight, the same way you are a nuisance to him in the curves. what happens is that since you have to brake more and sooner than the car with good grip, he might "ram" you in the rear and get you out of the track. Think 919 to TS040 in Le Mans : quite often I get overtaken in the end of the straight by a TS040 that brakes a LOT sooner than I need. Bottom line : you have to get away fast and make sure your advance by the end of the straight is enough not to be overtaken by one of these nasty grip fiends who kick you in the rear and out of the track.

B) you have a grip slug : the first curve is dangerous, for the risk is very high one of the missile cars will overtake you and brake way before you have to, damaging your front. Then you take the curves a lot faster, but the missiles are always in front of you by the end of the straight and using the one good trajectory. Bottom line : you have to have an advance that is enough to make sure you're still in front when the missiles have to start braking to take the curve (or not).

In OMP, shit usually happens in the first two curves, because of traffic, different assists level and driver capacities on the one side, the presence of annoying twats on the other side. When someone swerves right and left just after the start, then you have a winner. When all the drivers take a position on the outside of the next curve, it's just driving... I won't hit anyone on purpose, but don't count on me to let you pass. I might though, just for the fun of it, if I consider the message in the back of your car is as derogatory as "my other ride is your mom"...

Half the time, I find fun and a balanced group when doing OMP. The other half, I quit the group and try to find another. When you're there for fun and race and accept that now and then a group of annoying ones will make you lose most of the points you got so far, because you're not obsessed by points, there is good fun to be had!
