I just had an awesome race against another place. We were neck and neck the entire race (leagues ahead of anybody else) but I finally managed to overcome him at the end. No dirty tricks, just an overall clean race. I was totally fine with the idea of this guy beating me (normally I turn into the grinch because of overly aggressive players or ridiculous sparrow physics). Afterwards, we both messaged each tower GR. Glad to see there's still some game-worthy opponents out there.
