A new race type or Gamemode should be added to allow for using Photo Mode and Drone Mode during an online event, especially EventLab events.
Currently there is no way to take photos during Online Races. In a way it’s understandable because they are races where you do need your car to move at all times.
Sometimes though players just want to chill and unwind together in a community created EventsLab event. The problem is that there isn’t really a way to take photos there, because the game still considers it a race.
