Maybe you didn't know this :wink:
Thanks Dede. I didn't know that. Then shorter cup would be much better. It should please those wanting to win the cup and really shouldn't annoy anyone. Everyone wins :D

i dont really care about the fun server, cause i dont race there anyway( because i dont like the tracks). In my opinion that could be changed into another racing server, with fixed car.( I know, it wont happen :))

In racing server i dont want to see random, cause it messes up the feeling. (like somebody said about tennis with different rackets or something). Altough I suffered greatly for mixed cars in the old system, I'd like to keep that, because atleast then i could do what i love: drive slider.

races should be decreased from 20 to 8 or maybe 10 or 12.
with a script-system(like the dude has) car could be voted in the beginning of cup and in the middle of the cup. Then there would be from 4 to 6 races with car A and next 4 to 6 races with car B. ( Dont know if this is even possible to do). Then we would have a non-demo-like cup with races enough, continuity in car and the car that most people like.

Of course voting system doesnt have to be simple like: car with most votes wins.
It could be like: if some car gets over 70% of votes, its choosen, otherwise random.
It could also be possible to vote for random-cup..

If voting between races will be possible, the system could be like this too:
in the beginning theres a vote and if 100% of votes is for any car, then its fixed. Then when anytime in cup someone joins and doesnt like it he can vote for random and car isnt fixed anymore.

This kinda solution would be good for players who like fixed, but wouldnt harm random-likers at all, since they could undo the car selection.

mostly when i go to ptx, there's very little people or none. Then this 100% is easily voted. If i vote alone for example. then i could drive my car as long as someone joins.

everybody wins. Problem is off course that theres no such script. :)

Agreed.
Random or not, fixed car for everyone is the only possible thing. Otherwise it's not a racing server anymore.

Agreed here, as well. Therefore my choice would be fixed car randomly selected at each restart. But I have already understood that this is not what the majority of drivers want.

This is possible with a script like TheDude's one. But cups are too long to set a fixed car for the whole cup: players don't stay for 20 races.
In any case:

1) /tracks /addrnd 8 or 10
2) /order fastest lap in last race OR last race's results

After turbosliders.com is up we must organize new servers and maybe we can get some script like TheDude's.
