...or for people who want an exciting game... There's a purpose to everything in this game. I don't know why you're ragging on the boost. Even experienced players sometimes enjoy boost on. Ask people who've played against me on this board- I'm no noob; but it doesn't mean I condemn boost races.
True if there's a complete disparity in skill some players will be completely destroyed if there were never any boost. This is not exciting or fun and it deters new or inexperienced players. It's more fun for people to learn when there's a chance to win. And if they win and they're noobs, just challenge them again and beat them. I do wish there was a handicap adjust option though...
Also.. EVERYONE at AI and indeed every other arcade I go to taps the brake when the handicap screen shows up.... It doesn't mean anything. They could be noobs or top tier players. When it turns solid you know ppl want boost off. Don't know why you have such a pet peeve with this phenomenon.

I have tried both on the Hanshin Line, it's both the same really, Boost off is a lot funnier since I usually ram or shove my friends cars into traffic  . Yep, that's usually how I play with my friend, it's just for fun really, I don't really consider it a real battle. So anyways, Boost off is more fun in my opinion

handicap is the thing that keeps your car catching up with the car in front if you crash or screw up so the race is less predictable.
Also. If you want to see how unbelievably powerful the boost is. Run 700hp on the wangan on one car and race a stock GTO. It's disgusting.
