Known issues:
* Dubai Kartdrome: When in free practice sometimes you spawn inside the pitboxes leading to some dificulties on the exit due to collision placements. In time trial you spawn into the void, so avoid this mode for now
* Ghost System: The ghosts when loaded have a black square flashing around them
* We still have issues with DQ's and online races not finishing once someone has been DQ'd. Fix is being worked on as I type these lovely notes up
