Drag racing still sucks. Qualifying doesn't exist. AWD swaps are still available for some cars, many of which shouldn't have it.

As for online races, it is still much like it was in F3. You can set up lobbies, and set specific rules and force certain aids on/off, but getting good races is still hard. The first corner demo-derby is still very hard to miss. If you get a good group of friends, though, setting up specific vehicle/class/event races is easy, and very fun.

I honestly don't concern myself with those things on drag racing... I just have fun playing it with my friends.

One can always expect turn 1 pile ups with amateurs...even pros, no surprise as I don't see a fix that Turn 10 or any dev could come up with. Just a bummer because it would be awesome to start racing the real race cars. This generation of devs making games accessible to everyone is utter ******** IMO, especially if modeling a real sport. At least implement the rules and regs....

What I started to do with a group on Thursdays years ago was to do ghost runs, 5 laps staggered starts. That was our quali in our custom lobby.

Now that I'm playing Rockstar Table Tennis, maybe they should have had an option to give the Asian players 4 arms and paddles ;-) (don't take it as an offense, more a complement to their ability, and referencing the ridiculous 4wd swaps in Forza...)

You didn't specify if these can be public lobbies? In Forza 3, only friends and friends of friends could join custom lobbies. Also utter BS...
Yes, when creating a lobby with your custom setup, you have the option of making it public or private.

I just wanted to have a slammed car and the ability to say "got camber?" :p

I miss my old Golf GTI... Apart from when the oil cooler cracked, poured a whole load of oil into the water system. Oil and water may go to a colour like peanut butter, but it isn't as great a combination as chocolate and peanut butter...
