AFK Players
People who AFK in Spectator mode is fine, it's those who AFK in the middle of the race that are the problem. Ideally, people won't do this anyway if they cared about their VR, but this ruins some people's races as any red shells thrown will just hit the AFK player and they are basically a track obstacle at that point. Especially sucks on the thinner tracks.
To fix this issue, I'd recommend switching people to spectator mode alongside a VR penalty for being AFK in races to discourage this sort of activity. Maybe a small temporary ban from racing like 5 minutes or so if a player has been found AFKing in a race.

Yeah, AFK MKPCians are FRICKIN ANNOYING, but that is not just all that should be fixed. If the afk player goes afk not at the beginning, but rather at the middle or the end when less than 30 secs remains, they will not gain or lose vr, nor will they affect vr of other players either. AFK players are the whole reason point farming from alts exists, so that would be taken out of the game while we try to solve the problem with the AFK players, and also it isn't worth it to ban them just because they have the memory of a goldfish and forget spectator

I know right!
I do really wish that something like what you have said would be added in an update or something as afk players are just wasting time and it is just annoying. Especially as sometimes players will be afk for multiple races, too.
