What could be changed that there are more female drivers?

Just out of curiosity... Has anyone ever seen a racing game where more than 5% of the players were girls? What do you think would make a car game more gender-neutral.

buahahauhuaa, but it would give some more community-aspect to this game. Next tscups.com -styled site could be made with driver profiles or something.

The other ideas would make this game like some Sims game.

Girls (women) don't play the game for pretty colors or hair dresser shops. They play it because the game.

Those suggestions are just silly.

But perhaps some better community features would help a bit.

Just talk of me, the ladies will flood to TS big time!

Heehe actually, i did get my cousin to download the game, though i dont think she will be a serious player, only DEMO a few times per month.

Also, to have more females in TS may cause tension. In my experience in other multiplayer games, females were often disliked and kicked from games, i suppose the males did not liked geting beat by them. I personally dont mind if there are more females in TS.

EDIT - i just read the poll choices..........what were you thinking? lol actually i dont think any of those will do anything, its still a racing game, those suggestions will not change that.

TSB_Artur's daughter played Ts for 3 weeks, the last week she was beating even Sativa(Sh0ck), PratÃ£o, SuntzuBr and more top players.
Then people started shouting at her, and she quit Ts.

PS: She's 11 years old.

All of it. In all your answers you have the same thing, flex. If will be more female drivers all of it will be. So i cannot vote.

Sometimes I see people with bad attitude like that, getting really mad at noobs who might have blocked or something. Most of us were really bad at first. It's just childish to get so upset over not winning a cup, it's just a game. Like, it's just a demo-server cup, what's the big deal?

I can Imagine quite a few quit because they don't feel welcome. Not just girls.

I can't imagine the community would change. Look at [orange]claudia. I also raced this girl Jenni on xmas cup yesterday-- fast.

I would say the only change needed is respect and kindness.

Eh I guess you shouldn't take them too serious.

But somehow it's interesting where that comes from that there always are 99% men. I do not play many online games, the others are Soldat and Sea3d. Soldat also has 95% male players I guess (otherwise it had to be called "Soldatin"

), but Sea3d which is a board game has about 60:40 - meaning that there also are enough women who play games, but it seems that they don't like action games for some reason.

Now that is really stupid, why did they do that?

There are really some idiots around... This reminds on the old version. Whenever you spoke some German words it didn't take long and some idiot was crying "Nazi".

Shouting at a girl because she wins... I didn't even get the idea that anyone does that.
