As someone who spent far too much time creating custom races in GTA Online I find the FH custom races very tedious to use. If I try to start a race from the map then custom props seem to disappear so I have to constantly punch in the share code every time I want to play one.
After taking the time to make a custom test track with the goal of driving every car in the game I quickly had to give up.
What would be a HUGE improvement to FH5 for me is having some basic options to adjust things like the number of laps, the weather, the number of drivatars, what kind of vehicle restrictions and such right before the race starts. Then when the race ends having an option to immediately replay the same track and having the option to make further adjustments to these settings.
For instance, if I want to try out all of my SUVs in the rain I could load up a race and adjust the vehicle restriction to SUVs, lower the drivatar count down to a single opponent, adjust the weather and time of day, and bump the laps down to one or two, then keep hitting replay until I’ve driven every SUV in my garage without ever being returned to freeroam.
I get this could cause some issues for races which need to be locked to a certain PI or season so a new option to permanently restrict these settings could be a solution.
Almost every custom race I make is set to Anything Goes because it is such a colossal hassle to have to test drive it all over again if I want to change which vehicles are allowed then publish yet another copy of the track.
I would spend hours hitting replay on my favorite courses if possible. As things are I tend to lose interest after punching in the share code for the third or fourth time and end up closing the game. Please make custom races more flexible!
