For example for running a balanced TBO+LX4 server on a particular track...

+ the possibility to set a minimum handicap for someone on the server (like getting a ballast handicap for winning)

all setable by the admin...

+1

+1.

you mean like the way you can spectate someone via insim for not having the right handicaps?

this isn't neccisary

-1

+1. This is better than spectating for having wrong handicaps, as the user won't have to bother too much. What he/she gets is what he/she gets, and doesn't have to worry about "Uh oh, was I 2kg under? I might get booted".

with server side handicaps you cant use the same car in multiple classes.

for instance my GT500/GT300 classes use the same cars with different restriction levels.

still a big fat -1

Keichi, you just wouldn't use it when it wouldn't be needed.

+1 for serverside forced setup restrictions, infact, +1 for realistic setup options period, anyone ever seen a mini with the multitude of setup options the UF1 has?
