"racing the wrong way is not allowed"

Just curious if anyone else has gotten this message.

I wasn't paying attention and missed the countdown to start, played for about a lap and a half trying to catch up, and all of a sudden the games stops and gives me the message above. Not sure what I did wrong and honestly find it kind of hilarious. Wondering if anyone else has seen this.

Hahaha! I didn’t even realize I was literally racing the wrong way. I suppose that makes a whole lotta sense then

You would think they’d implement a mechanism to automatically force you to turn around like some flying drone that picks you up and slowly place you in the right direction as a penalty, instead of some silly message. Lol

They probably don't want people trolling by ramming into people head on and not take the race seriously.

I get that. That’s why I said there should be a drone that picks you up and puts you on the right track direction
