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.

For: It doesn't screw the rest of the ppl racing. And if you're good enough, you can still stay in first the whole race even with catch up on. I do it almost every race.
