current pain points: the race starts immediately upon connecting. no time to prepare, so i always start in the last position because the AI drivers have a head start due to my slower reaction time.
the AI drivers are to aggressive to prevent overtaking, they will bump into the player, knocking them out of the position and causing a crash without any penalty to the AI car.
bumping into each other should cause both cars to crash, giving the player more time to recover. AI drivers should try to avoid contact however
