12 Things That Happen In Every Single Online Race

1. Stationary

There’s always one car that just stays stationary on the start line for the entire race. Maybe they have to step away or rush off? What we do know is it adds another obstacle we’d rather do without…

Naturally with so much going on, the first lap is always pretty tense and probably complete chaos too.

3. Crashed off

In every online race, you’ll get crashed off at some point. There’s probably that one troll who just seems to want everyone else to have a bad time, too.

4. Way out front

It might be you. It might not be you. But you’ll often see one person scampering off into the distance, never to be seen again.

5. Microphone turned up

Whether it’s in the lobby before the game or during the race itself, there’s usually a gamer using a microphone and speaking WAY too loud.

6. Mega overtake

If you get lucky, you’ll either be part of or witness an absolutely bonkers overtake. It’ll be so good; you’ll wonder how the hell it happened in the first place.

7. Driving like a grandma

With every dominant racing gamer, there’s the hopeless player who can’t stop spinning, crashing or just generally trundling around. You might even have to lap them, if they’re that bad.

8. Arch nemesis

This is the person whose username will stay in your mind for quite some time. As anger and frustration levels boil over, it’s almost inevitable you’ll pick up an enemy.

If you’re internet can’t take it, don’t play online. It’ll just ruin it for everyone. Lagging is one of the most common frustrations among racing gamers and it can really muck things up if you get stuck behind the glitchy one.

10. Blocked

There’ll be that moment where you go for the overtake and someone will defend way too aggressively, losing you a heap of time.

Things might be going well and once you’ve emerged from the chaos of lap one, you’ll probably get into the flow and completely nail a couple of laps.

12. Rage quit

You might spin out or crash on your own accord and just think ‘I’ve had enough’. Or someone else might feel the same. In every lobby, there’s a rage-quitter.

Nobody

In any online game, there’s always that one person who’s basically inhaled their mic.

Ali Mahfooz Number 8 remind of that day when we were racing on GTA V and that you got mad at me because I won all those races… When we become mods I thought you would not talk to me… LOL

If you join a FailRace game, only a few of these happen, also with the included Rolling Over.

People driving the wrong way and cheaters.
2 of the most annoying ones. Dont you just love when youre drifting in forza, on first place, then you gotta dodge some idiot driving the wrong way, and after you finish the race in 1st place, theres that one guy who comes 5 minutes after and scores 10 times more points. At this point its best to throw the controller into a wall and burn the disk.

Wait, there’s no first corner torpedo and that one guy who uses normal braking points for the first turn.
