What's going on in the public lobbies, before the servers went down it was probably 10% of players wrecking (in my experience), now it's almost every 2nd player.
When I finally managed to find a clean-ish lobby it was a complete joke, one of the drivers who I recognised as very fast from the leaderboards was using the top leaderboard car for every race, normally I wouldn't mind this but they were using every shortcut possible (Turn 1 Indy GP, most of Yas Marina etc.) and the closest competition was me in a Punto (3-4 seconds slower per lap without shortcuts), the rest of the lobby were mostly lower levels and never really came close to finishing with this guy in the lobby, I was thinking he could at least slow down near the finish line and allow them some more time to reach the finish.
