I watched the video Guru posted on YouTube, and after that I was left wondering why they even have ghost cars at all? If someone disconnects from the servers during a race, they should be out of that race. To take it further, since the start times and finish times are only calculated AFTER the race is over in order to calculate a winner, why are ANY of the other cars on the track? Couldn't they just list the names of the players who are participating, then each person runs the course alone? When everyone completes their lap, they could calculate the winner just like before. If you say this is too much like time trials, its not. Off track or wall collisions wouldn't void the run, and you only get one shot to win, not repeated tries. I know it wouldn't be the same, but at least it would stop the crash'em up derby atmosphere that keeps me from participating.
