1.4 is still crap compared to 1.2, all sorts of issues with yellow flags, graphical and visual glitches (especially when spectating someone who uses a controller) and in terms of crashing people's games. Also done about 7 50% races online since its come out and I've yet to see the SC, only the VSC so that looks like another error they've made.
If they reverted online back to 1.2 the game would be almost be perfect, they would just need to remove the stupid ghost car of the drivers who have disconnected or left the lobby without retiring...
