It would be the death sentence for any race out there if the ramming is "synced" or lets say... desynced in a different way lol. Just what will you do if you are no longer able to dodge rammers? loool. Iz sorry men, you just randomly flew into the ocean
But I am quite sure that shooting and ramming are two totally different things.. and work entirely different. Therefore I doubt, racers have anything to fear.
But this really is another really interesting point. With the old race system it was impossible to ram people from behind, which reduced the risk of losing significantly once you were in the front.
In GTA V it was the other way around. You were in a giant advantage if you were in the back of somebody. And well... I hated it.. so much that I sold my PS3 and GTA V even though I was very good at it. And that really means something..
