Here's your loss comic:
If the people infront hog a position, you can't safely overtake them without very carefully grinding against them (which may turn into a sideways collision), fail at overtaking (which makes your car bounce back, your driver bounce forwards, but their driver and car are fine as they bounce parallel), or have them and a different car pile up, which may include you, whoops.
It is very difficult to safely overtake since the other drivers don't suffer from a dangerous defense, and they really hate you.
Wow thanks for the detailed explanation, makes a lot of sense!
I've been rebalancing things a little to increase damages, as going full-on bumper-cars should never be a valid strategy, which could also play a role in that problematic.
In any case, I'm taking notes! Maybe I could cheat the physics at some point to make the cars go more sideways on collision, to even things out a bit.
And you can rest assured, they don't hate you that much ;)
