Not really illegal street racing...
I also hate that when you let people from your crew race for you, they follow what the leader does. Everyone racing does. The cars should go the smart way, not do what everybody else does. Although following can make your opponent nervous and spin them out (that is if they don't have a lot of composure) I don't like it. I want to pass people, not follow them.
Overall, it's a good game. I enjoy playing it from time to time.
