I enjoyed it, but i agree that lag was a factor. There were numerous races where the green light had gone, i came off the start and was happily driving along side by side with other cars and then all of a sudden, bang! my car was lagged to oblivion and i ended up either out of bounds, on my roof or sometimes i was on my wheels, but too damaged to continue.
Plus a certian guy calling me a motherfu**er and a fu**ing bas**rd noob because i didnt spectate straight away when i rolled ( i has just stopped rolling) and he clipped my car and crashed. He also told me to f**k my mother as well, which is a bit OTT really, especially as he seemed to have programmed the phrases to one of his F keys as he kept spamming with it over and over again so quickly, to the point that i had to block chat because i couldnt see properly.
But other than that, i thoroughly enjoyed it up until that point, and i am glad to hear that it improved again.
