I'm going to guess that your FFA/Team racing is Ranked FFA/Team? The only multiplayer/online adventure that I care to do anymore is with a casual nightly club group, either unranked or custom lobby, and we encounter these modding/cheating losers fairly often like, all the time. Most don't even bother trying to hide it.

They tend to fall into two categories: The first I call "newly-modded" as they appear to be testing it out for the first time (as evidenced by their complete lack of control, apparent unfamiliarity with what they're doing as they brazenly try out new tricks in front of the entire lobby during races).

The second are more like "mod-showmen." First, they'll screw around in last place for a few races, sort of blending in. But once a new championship begins, they'll try the same stunt each race; purposely hang waaay back in the beginning so that they can pass everyone at some ridiculous warp 10 speed, showing off and rubbing everyone's nose in it. Those clowns are particularly galling; it's not enough to just begin the race at warp 10, blowing everyone away from the get-go. No, they want everyone to know what they're getting away with. The hang-back in the beginning allows them the opportunity to show everyone, including those that would otherwise finish in the back, just how obnoxious loser trash players can be as they skip on by.

Some noticed behaviors...their wheels don't spin, at all, but maybe that makes sense because they already seem to hover above the road (so why would wheels need to spin?), are impervious to whatever physics that apply to you (that barrier will slow you down, even stop you, (but they exist in the Matrix, so...) can disappear and reappear all over the place, and seem to be playing in a sort of Rivals ghost-like state (the Matrix). Oh, and here's aneat trick... they can quit out of an online adventure race, which dumps them out of the lobby and into Freeroam, but then are able to rejoin back into the very same race still in progress that they already left... I mean come on, PG.

Now that I think about it, I tend to do custom dirt lobbies, some FFA, during the day when I see you doing ranked, so perhaps this trash mod behavior is just more prevalent at those night hours; maybe time zone-related too?
