Voted 2: Would be interesting to see the acceptance of such a feature. Esp. in races w/ 3 to 5 players where you have a little more room to really race. Like, should I pass now or is the risk too high?

As mentioned before: New skills will be required. I second that.

In 8 player races (equally skilled pilots) this would be annoying - racing is not an option within the first laps. There are races where I'm not able to make it to the first corner w/o getting shot to pieces. And no respwan ... No!
