In N2 it used to be very easy during the pace lap to back off for the restart and then time your acceleration so as to get a run on the cars in front when the flag goes green. Have they cured this in N3, otherwise I can see serious problems with online races that use pace laps. -- Peter Ives

In N3 they changed were the green flag comes out at, but with "retraining" people can learn to time their "jumps". The solution to this problem is either race with people you can trust not to jump, or in leagues were the officials will penalize the jumpers based on replays.
