The Golden Blur
BECAUSE there are people who wanna show they're better than you even in coop, racing to the finish, getting the token first, etc. That the server allows such a thing is HIS(/her) fault, and should be hosting race if racing was the entire point.
Honestly, though. Coop is the most "Free" gametype outta all, as you can do about most of what you wanna do as long as at some point you'll finish. Hence why the allplayers exit thing is great. So those boring racing people who just wanna finish as fast as possible can have THEIR fun racing against nobody, while the others actually explore, get bonusses, try tricks, etc. Otherwise there'd constantly be people to ruin your fun and just finish at inconvenient moments. 'sides, you can "Exitlevel" if you're done. Somebody finished for real anyways.
