On alot of occasions my PS3 completely locks up when I join a race at the exact moment the race-leader starts the race from within the lobby. I'm presented with the loading screen but the whole console gets stuck when the loading bar completes. The only solution is to do a hard-reset or turn the PS3 off and on. I'd suggest that a couple of more seconds be put on the count-down timer for when the race-leader starts the race manually, that would also allow racers to choose a different craft that suits the specific track better.

You couldn't imagine all the times I've joined a race only for the race-leader to start the race immediately when the room is full or when he's happy with the number of players.
