The rubber banding in this game is among the worst I have ever seen, this is just a complete waste of time to play. Crash 5 times? Be a second of 2 behind 1st or barely win. Crash 0 times? Same exact thing. Boosts shouldn't be needed to win races, and races are winnable without, but due to the insane rubber banding it's down to pure luck. The start of every single race you start with an instant time loss and it is just dumb all around
