I am enjoying this game, despite its idiosyncrasies. However, the multiplayer just doesn't work right now. I was able to join a lobby a few days ago, after getting repeated error messages. All my competitors quit out a few corners into the race, I assume because I was leading. I have not been able to get into a game since. Now when I look for a game it just tells me, "The search failed."
I am kind of disappointed by the lack of variety of stages. "Oh, we're doing this stage again for the third time this rally."
