Every race ends with 5 players.
Temp ban all players who specifically quit the game for 1 hour. Double every time they do it again.
Thank you (:

What about situations in real life where something urgent arises that requires immediate attention, forcing a player to quit? Banning them would be harsh.

Then hopefully that task takes an hour, or they pause and let it auto drive until they come back.
The thing is. Most of them are NOT quitting because of something urgent. They quit because they’re bad and 40 seconds behind in 4 laps.
Yeah generally I quit a race if my daughter is unsettled because I only play at night while she sleeps. Dull idea.
People are under no obligation to finish a race let alone the threat of a ban for not doing so.

Then pause the game?
That would be even worse having a slow ghost doing laps and if they did pause doesn’t that still time out after 15 minutes? What would happen then, when the controller turns off?

I never paused for 15 minutes, so I wouldn’t know. But I do know that the game just pauses if the controller is turned off.
The ghost drives at a significantly slower pace, but at least it still drives, so he might come back to a 40 second loss, instead of needing to find a new lobby.
But I specifically said, if they press the QUIT button.
If they pause the game to go do something and get kicked for that, then it wouldn’t trigger the ban.

I’m going to try it next time I play MP which might be Monday when all the rammers are at school, not worth playing on the weekends.
If it doesn’t time out completely I’ll unpause on the last lap and see how it affects the skill rating as that’s already stuffed from either rammers taking me out or races ending after 2 minutes cause there’s a bug in the system.
If I go up in skill points I’ll do it again and again until those points are back to where they were last week, if they go down it won’t be much different to wasting time with idiots that can’t drive cleanly anyway, plus I get some credits.
Just think if all the other players quit I’d come in 1st 
So I need to go and do something. I have to pause… I come back to the game and I’m now more than a lap down I have to carry on so I don’t get a ban 
This game can’t afford to ban people. Daft idea:rofl:

They should ban people that don’t qualify because it just causes crashes.
Dang I’d get banned every race lmao.
I’ve been trying the no qualifying since it’s impossible every other race, gotta say i get in more accidents. But I’m also A safety right now so I’ll have to see how it is once I’m back to S
I hadn’t raced in months. Jumped into the enduro. Ran hard tires. Big mistake. I got out of the way of people passing. Guys even thanked me for doing so. Toughed it out for the whole race.
Can’t believe the hards lasted only 7 laps.
Everyone runs hards…
I am sure the leaders in my lobby were running softs. They were running 3:30’s and pitting every 5 laps.
You can go faster than that on mediums.
Its as if it were a ranked game in ANY competitive game. quits and disconnects should bring a ban of some sort. unfortunately, no pity passes here as games like Rainbow Six, Call of Duty, and f1 2024 all dish out penalties of some sorts for departing a game.
It would give more of a competitive feel to the game and lobbies would be cleaned up to a degree I feel.

Yeah, it would stop the endurance lobbies ending with 4 players because the other 20 players quit.
That’s a bit too many to all have “emergencies”
Penalize license points when a player leaves the game
this would be an interesting yet, good way to test a penalty system
