The 5 second delay definitely hinders how fast i can race - I keep many multiple tabs open as well. Once the tabs are open - I click backspace and click challenge. Very fast.
But with that being said, I dont necessarily like the 5 second delay, but I think it is a necessary evil. a) I would imagine it keeps down on server overload, b) keeps people online longer.
A - i have nothing to back that up - i dont know anything about server overload, i just think the 5sec racing delay slows things on their end down - enough for them to keep up on data transfer.
B - tell me what most people do - sells their car when they are offline, and buy new one when they are online(not exactly I know, but you know what I am speaking of). If people were offline more often - there would be less ppl to race, and we would all be forced to race amateur status noobs that dont have anything to do with anything.
I could go on for days about how keeping people online is a good thing.
