Hey there!

I was computing every suggestion about new cars/new classes, and I came up with that idea.

What would you think if the new cars, instead of belonging to only one class, would belong to more than one (let's say 2 for the example)?

Example:
- If you look at the hotlap charts, the LX4 times match pretty well those of the TBO's on the majority of the tracks. So, if we had a car (let's call it New Car : NCR) that would match the LX4 in terms of pure performance (handling, acceleration, speed, power-to-weight ratio), it would create 2 new classes:

Intermediate sport cars - IMS (LX4, NCR, XRT, RB4, FXO) would now have two subclasses:
- Autocross (AUX) : LX4, NCR
- Turbo (TBO) : XRT, FXO, RB4

So the two "new" classes would be the AUX and the IMS. Assuming that IMS and AUX already exist because of the LX4, the addition of one new car would improve two classes instead of improving only one.
In that case, any addition of 1 car will satisfy more than one player.
If we create some more "supraclasses" (nothing to do with the Toyota Supra), assuming that the classes we have now are "subclasses", the possibility of the diversity of events could be well increased.

Please rate and comment constructively

For what I know the classes really don't serve any purpose gameplay wise, as there is no class ranking. So it's basically up to server admins and insim programmers to set their servers up the way you suggest.

I hear your point, and I agree on the fact that you can virtually create classes with the appropriate restrictions on each car. However, my suggestion was meant to facilitate this process, and especially for the pick-up races, so that people wouldn't have to enter with restrictions in such servers.

I think there should at least be something in the setup screen which, if you've not restricted your car displays something like 'This server requires 39% intake restriction. Would you like to set this now?' and if you select yes creates and selects a copy of the current setup with the appropriate restrictions.

This would make it a lot easier to know what settings to make, as well as letting new people realise that you do have to change something. I remember in the BTCC server that was going a while ago, there were lots and lots of people who'd join in the FX0, the server would pit them for not applying the restriction and they just keep trying and trying before eventually quitting, not realising what they had to change. The server can be set up to display a message but that's up to the server admins to organise.

Would just be overly confusing, so it's a -1 from me.

We have this on the Lfs Banger Racing server. If you leave the pits and have not set your intake restriction low enough it auto-spectates you and displays the message... Intake restriction too low, &restrict for more info. When you type &restrict this then brings up a small window that has all the restriction figures there for you to set.

I think the actual thing is called LFSRestricter.
