After 12 seconds you will see what a rolling start is.

Mmm.. nah, I don't like rollingstarts.

Idea is cool, but I don't want it. What does this add to our server? And if someone lags badly you're right behind him ready to get hit lol.

This looks nice but there is one big problem more textures makes less frames per sec and huge lag at people with weak pc's.You can try to code that so if works bad it is easy to remove it  ;)

^ To go on with Jali said above. Better fix the existing bugs in stead of making a rolling start in my opinion. (Nothing against you ;) )

Sounds pretty good! Why's everyone so negative about it lol, at least give it a chance. To fix any kind of chance of being lag rammed, everyone can be evened out more than usual, and less fps for shit PCs? Not really, if a person lags while driving normally, they're going to lag no matter what, that can't be fixed. The only problem I see with this is latency issues. Some1 with a large ping will not start off to a rolling start as soon as you might start coz their velocity will not be set right away so there might need to be a fairly large gap between everyone. Otherwise, it sounds cool!  :)

It probably will be, how could it be implemented to every race on the server atm? just wouldn't work lol, it'll be an extra gamemode. You could even make a new 1v1 race mode with a rolling start with the 2 ppl right next to each other to avoid being lag rammed, would be nice.

I agree that 1v1 with a rolling start sounds cool.
