Are you for or against it?
The arguments I have heard so far...
[b]For:[/b]
- Keeps races close. It's often a tight dash to the finish.
- Allows newer players a chance at glory without having to drop $5m+ on a fleet of top-end custom machinery.
[b]Against:[/b]
- Punishes higher-skilled players by handicapping them; they use their skill to get away from the pack only to be dragged back in, leaving them cheated when they get smashed off the track by Laggy McLagface.
- A higher-level player's shiny wheels acquired using hard-earned* cash become worthless.
Personally, I hate catchup.

I hate it. I spend in game cash to get good vehicles along with upgrades, and I'm actually a pretty decent driver. If I'm in first place for essentially the entire race only for someone to randomly catch up to me in the last 10 seconds to win i find that to be complete B.S as i lose out on the reward that comes with being first. If it's with friends i don't care though.
