Momo, I only kinda agree, but not fully. It was not only a help, but a motivation also. Having that ranking system motivated everybody to be at the top, and improve the levels to reach another servers, and just to show yourself to others on the server. After the race finished, you saw the level of everybody on the list, which kinda gave you a boost if you beat a dude with a lot higher level. I also admit to have learnt driving Single Seaters there, mostly FBM. Remember doing the KY2 FBM WR online back then
And even then it was still exciting to do those 5 laps races, battleing thru every lap. Cargame.nl server never gives you that. We need one class servers full of people with reasonably short races and track rotation and to give in a bit, we need some motivation.
