[Suggestion] Option to disable autostart at the start of a session

The thing that confuses me is that while ghosting is understandable in the pits or before a rolling start, AMS2 and PC2 sometimes have ghosting out on track, and I can never work out when it will happen. Last night I had a drive at Imola, and some cars ghosted when I got close while passing them and others didn't. It reminded me of a PC2 race ages ago when I first realised this in practice, but assuming it would stay the same in qualifying caused a few problems!

The trouble is when people come from a ghosting in pits game to one that doesn't. I did the VISC 12 hours of Sebring a few weeks ago, and one of my team-mates was an ACC driver trying his hand at rF2, and he was very good. However, while I was riding with him prior to a driver change, he drove into a stationary car in the pits, which was a bit embarrassing! I've seen others do this too.

Not having ghosting can be a real pain in a crowded pit lane or when someone is in your box, especially if they're having a few minutes of repairs. Perhaps too much realism.

 

It happens when you encounter a car that has just entered the MP session and you have not been yet to the pits because you will get sync'd to him only once you come back to the pits. Before that to avoid issues you will see them as ghosts

 

What does "you will get synced to him" mean? I could see them, and they only turned shimmery when I got close, so surely my computer and the server knew where we both were?

Something vaguely similar happens in rF2 with skin transfer, which only happens in the pits (to not interfere with bandwidth), so cars that join while you're on track appear as yellow jelly moulds.
