### Please Fix Multiclass Racing and Timed Races

[Lucas_J_SOARES]

There are critical issues in the multiclass racing and timed race systems that break the intended experience. Immediate fixes are needed:

Multiclass Racing

No Class Limits:

Players can select an unlimited number of cars per class, creating an unbalanced field. There should be structured limits, such as three classes with up to eight drivers each, to ensure fair and competitive racing.

Staggered Rolling Starts:

Faster classes should start with a delay to prevent interference at the start. This would allow traffic management to happen naturally during the race.

Timed Races

Lap-Based Tracking:

The race should be based on laps completed, not just distance covered. Total race time should only serve as a tiebreaker for drivers on the same lap.

Time Penalties:

Penalties should be added to the final race time, rather than being calculated by distance, to accurately reflect lost time.

Final Lap Procedure:

When the countdown reaches zero, all drivers should be allowed to complete a final lap. The race ends when the leader crosses the finish line, and other drivers should finish their current lap before their times are recorded.

Lapped Cars:

In lap-based races, once a car is one or more laps behind, it should not continue racing until the final race timer runs out. Currently, lapped cars continue racing unnecessarily, which prolongs the race unrealistically. When the leader finishes the race, cars that are one or more laps down must finish their current lap. Their participation in the race ends once they cross the line after completing their lap.

I will leave the related posts where they request these fixes. Vote and comment to show your support for these changes, so hopefully we can get them in Update 18 or 19.

Multi-Class series has too many classes

It is currently four (4) separate classes racing against each other & it needs to be lowered to three (3) classes. The reason being that there aren’t enough players, which results in you basically racing alone, or, with one other person that has a 3 second race lap difference than you. (Which means, after one or two laps, you’re racing alone.) Lowering the classes will increase the racers in each class, which will make it more fun to play, which will bring more players to the series. If I’m g…

Proximity Radar - Cars show colour of group (Multiclass)

In Multiclass races, the mini map shows the dots of the cars in colour according to the group they are racing in. I would like to see an option for the Proximity radar to also apply these colours. This helps identifying the car close to you. If it’s a different colour than your car on the radar it’s racing in a different group and you should let them go.

Change Multiclass (ABCS) to 3 groups (ABS)

My favourite series to race is the Multiclass Series. The combination of having total freedom of car builds, the traffic management, the medium length, they all work for me. The lobbies are decently filled and there’s a pretty good track rotation too. The timed race format does need to be changed, vote for that suggestion here. The one thing I believe needs improvement is the filling of the groups. Some of the groups (mostly B and C) are often left with 0 to 2 cars. This leads to boring races …

Rolling start multiclass group speed delay

Hi had a idea for the rolling starts for hopefully better starts to multiclass races Rolling speed delay It would work by each group having different speeds at the start to create a gap between each group before 3,2,1 GO Select rolling start, rolling delay, select 5,10,15 Many thanks

Relative Leaderboard (Multiclass)

I would like a new setting for the in race leaderboard shown during races (top left), specifically for Multiclass racing. This relative Leaderboard shows the cars closest to you on track, not looking at specifically your group, but all of them. This can help predicting where you’ll catch the slower cars ahead and where the faster cars behind will meet you on track. It would help if this leaderboard setting shows what group the other cars are driving in, if a car is in a different group there’s…

Finish current lap in Timed races

I have spotted that Timed Races still end exactly on the clock running to 0.00, regardless of where you are on the Track. In most, if not all Real World Timed Racing formats such as yunno the LE MANS 24 HOUR, when the clock hits zero, the drivers are supposed to at least finish the lap that they are on. There have been variations on this, such as Formula E during Gen 2 running races at 45 minutes + 1 lap at the end of the lap completed first AFTER the time elapsed. I would like to see more re…

Unbalanced Car Distribution in Daytona Highlight Race

In the recent Daytona Highlight event, the car distribution was off. There were 17 hypercars, only 2 LMP2s, and 3 GT3s. This doesn’t make sense. I suggest limiting each class to 8 cars [1000023541]
