MP Difficulty > Add a DRS Rule Setting
Most of us have been there... several cars within seconds of each other making for an awesome race. Then you or your friend bin it in a corner, wreck, and their race is over. We like the high stakes, sometimes. Other times, we disable damage so a car can get back on the track and resume racing. Only they're still out of the race, unless they have a ridiculous pace, or luck into backmarker passing opportunities.
My suggestion caters to casual multiplayer races with a mix of people we want to keep involved in the game and experts who want to push themselves: I'd love to see the standard F1 rule of getting DRS when you're within 1 second of the car in front become adjustable like parc ferme. Let us change the default 1 second gap to 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or infinite. Alternatively, keep the 1-second rule as-is an add an optional 25%-100% DRS setting for everyone more than 1 second behind the race leader.
This way, when someone makes a mistake over the course of 5-50 laps, they're able to get back into the competition and less likely to walk away from the race and/or the game.
