@Cpayne32 Even more concerning is that EA/Codemasters/F1Esports isn't saying anything. Like i said in a post last week, if everything was fine i guess an official statement was out pretty fast, the fact they are not saying anything, at least for me it meens something is not right there with at least 1 player and they are working to see if somebody else was involved or how to handle this situation which is a sensible one.

@Hempyjr Yeah it sure is concerning. This is why F1 23 must have some form of anti cheat system and a much better reporting system. I refuse to play ranked online because i just get taken out intentionally so don’t bother

@Cpayne32 Well that's why i don't play social racing. Waiting 10 minutes to get into a race and then being smashed at the first corner or in the first lap and it's done, waiting another 10-15 minutes for another race. Online i play only in a league with my brother and a friend against AI obviously. What raise me some questions about Ronhaar is that in some videos you can clearly see him missing the apex and keeps carying on like nothing happen and loses way too less time or nothing at all. If i take a corner similar to him, with AI level 90, i lose 0.5 or even 0.7 instantly, not to mention AI level 110 or esports players.

  I search for a 25% race or, if I get lucky, a 50% race distance lobby purely to prepare for league racing. Most of the time, these lobbies provide fair racing.

    @Blackbird90 Thanks for the suggestion, i will give it a try tonight after my little baby boy goes to sleep and see how is going there with 25% or 50% race distance.
