    Last night I hosted a lobby with formation and rolling starts.

    It seemed to work pretty well, but for one issue. The leader has to keep to below 120kph during the formation until he comes to the end of the lap. This then brings up the lights while still rolling. The leader holds his speed until the green light at which point he can go full throttle.

    My issue is that I noticed some cars holding back during the formation and waiting for the light phase in which they would start to accelerate just before it went green. This gives them a jump start on the leader who then gets swamped by the jump starters.

    I'm not sure if this is due to the out of sync start light bug that I know can happen or it's just drivers jumping the start.

    If it is jump starting I feel this can be resolved by when the light sequence starts all cars now have to keep to below 120kph and can only accelerate on green. If they go above 120kph before the green then they get a penalty.
