Make sparrow racing more racing, less bumper cars. It is frustrating beyond belief to be in 3rd or 4th place jockeying for position with other racers, only to have them RB or LB into you and then you get walled, and for all intents and purposes, YOU get taken out of the race whereas they still remain in the race.
IMO they need to make it so that you can phase through your opponents while going the same direction, so that races are decided on racing/cornering/handling skill rather than whether or not you can take the competition out of the race (in plain english: rather than being an asshole). If they don't do this, then they need to make it so you can run into people when you are driving in reverse so that rather than having to finish the race in 5th or 6th, I can turn around and drive right for the guy that walled me and screw up his race too. As it stands now, people go right through you when you drive in the wrong way, but you bump each other when you're racing. Doesn't make sense to me.

I think a natural boundary for the bumping would be either remove it or have it so the person making the contact floats up for the 5 seconds instead of the person being bumped. the races barely consist of any racing any more. its a case of stay back in 3rd/4th, let the first few bounce each other round and when only one person try and cut in front and create a lead. but even then people seem to get more boosts from the flags than the person in front. I played the other day and hit 8 in a row and people pushed ahead of me with a speeder that go's the exact speed as me and was going left to right tryin to pit manouvere me. how he can naturally just move ahead of me I dont understand as I was going straight and he is zig zagging so I should be pulling away from him.

You know why they are zigzagging don't you? It's not to bump you out of the way. The side boosts do more than move you to the side, they give you a boost. That is why they were able to move past you.

I dont mean zig zagging as in side boosting. I mean zig zagging trying to get in to pit me. to spin me out. But if I have hit 8 gates in a row and am driving in straight lines how are they catching me. I think the racing element is being dumbed down and people behind are being boosted more. I have seen it when I am behind someone and they hit a gate and so do I yet I keep catching them up. they have made a game which at first is fun but then the bumper car style that has been adpoted to hit someone trying to corner, pit manouver, people side boosting to try and force people in to walls etc is just crazy. Especially if its dumbed down so people behind can catch regardless.

Jockeying for positions... Although true, that made me laugh harder than i should have.

Agreed. It'd be great to have Contact and Non-contact modes that we can CHOOSE to enter.
