Something new that's been happening I've noticed. In the past, having someone slam on their brakes in front of you had the effect of instant stopping and doing damage only to you. I've tried in a zillion times and can't get the same effect.

What's new is the effect/strength of the PIT maneuver. In the past it had the same behavior as in normal play.

Now, however, it's an absolute game changer. Pull up along the car ahead of you, give a nudge hard to the side and WHAM that car goes into an instant and unblockable and unstoppable 270 spin, almost assuredly off track and 95% of the time will also incure a cutting corner penalty to recover. Basically, you are out of the game.

So, if you have pole position, the entire game rests on turn one. If you can get there and past before player two PITs you, then it's a race. But if he hits you in the first stretch, you go from 1st to 8th.

And, of course this can be used during the race too. Catch up to the guy in front of you and just soon him out. Entire races are nothing but PiT maneuvers.
