The ability to send cars to a friend, so we can have some pink-slip races. Obviously I don’t want to make kids cry, so this could be restricted to say, clubs (I can see that’s a very highly voted topic). Or just between friends. Not necessarily a fully realized ‘game mode’. If the worry is scammers, we could have a 24 hour delay on every transaction, and it would be cancelable by the sender at any time, in case someone gets scammed. It’s pretty easy to implement guard-rails so that only willing people can willingly send cars, willingly, and it would make for a very dope feature that’s dead in pretty much every racing game, but is still very popular in every other media.
forza devs got very close to this with midnight battles in fh3 and fh5, but they were claimable by accolades. what are we gonna do about cheaters who are just gonna steal every single car a person owns?

I proposed a day (or more) delay on car transfers, so the sender can always cancel it before the transaction completes in case he feels like he’s being scammed. We could also simply issue a warning on transfer that scammers might do this. We could also restrict it to transfer between friend lists or clubs (if they get properly invented). There are a few things that could be done.
And, just in case my proposal wasn’t clearly phrased, I don’t want this feature to be governed by a system, like “you do this race, you wager your car, and then the system automatically transfers your car to the winner”. What I want is more like, I challenge my friend on discord to a race, both agreeing that the loser gives up his car, and then the loser simply willingly presses the button to transfer the car. It’s completely controlled by the person who is doing the transfer, not by the game itself.
so what happens when I win and the other player doesn’t send the car after the 1 day delay?

You play with mature people who can take a loss.
Ah yes, let’s rely on people…
