Quick Race Ringers!

It's absolutely demoralising when you join a race with most cars having an average of about 5200 when you realise that one car (maybe an IGP player or affiliate) has a reputation of 5800 or 6000 and after half a lap the race is effectively over as that car sails off into the distance never to be seen again! What's the point for the rest of us and more to the point (pardon the pun) what the heck does that player get out of it! It's ridiculous. What I do is go in for a few early pit stops until I'm a reasonable distance ahead on the track and then treat it like a proper race. At least it feels like 10 minutes of my life not wasted and I'm sure it really annoys them when this car appears on the horizon and they can't quite catch me with all their boost! Surely it would be sensible to cap the cars carrying more than let's say 5500 points just for the Quick Races?

Only do quick races when you have full health driver, car and engine. Also there is issues with tyres & fuel, so the more races you do on the same track. The more info you can gather and fine tune your strategy. And changes are being made, what is optimal now, might not be optimal next week then the update is released.
