    Great idea. Actual challenge for the faster ones and ideal for beginners to practice their driving skill and improve their "race awareness". +100 Glen

    An option to restart the race session where it remembers everyone's positions would be a very helpful feature too. Something could always go wrong.. a game crash, an internet problems, an unforeseen bug, someones controller messes up, a turn 1 disaster of a crash.

    In RACE 07 it was a pain that this wasn't an available. We would have to cycle through all the sessions again, do one lap in qualifying to get grid spots back in order or start the race and shuffle cars around if people even remembered what positions they were in.

    Absolutely agree. Grid management (if you could call it like that) was and already is PITA in Race07.

    Holy! That's so true...!!
    Also, don't recall if it has been said before already and you brought up the "slot" term, observer slots to let commentators and streamers connect and do their "job", especially for Leagues and/or Cups

    Can you imagine what would happen if Joe Public took on safety car duty in public servers?

    Having started with GTR, then GTR2, then Race07/EVO I'm excited to see a continuation of SimBin's focus on authenticity... And now with Sector3.
    My dedicated requests:
    - Dynamic Weight Management for competitive equalization based on Quali.
    - Option for No Collisions.
    - Full Timing after each session, esp. Race.
    - Allow finishing of final quali lap.
    - Allow to save set-up profiles as in Race07.
    - Allow 1 minute final garage for tuning set-up before race starts.
    -- Allow Laps or Timed Events.
    -- UI broadcast when you just wanna watch others race.
    -- Forced pitstops if desired.
    -- Points, stats and MOTEC!!

    • Server admin notice
    Showing the server notice would be very useful when a player joins.
    ( Rules, About, Community Link, … etc. )

    A victory lap would be good, including the obligatory crowd invasion of the track :D

    Wait.. what? You're not kidding?!?!?!?! WHAT!
    That's amazing news. I hope my PC will finally be repaired (5 weeks without it already!) when The Ring hits R3E.
    So many hours of driving to come... so many hours ;_;

    Back on the topic of dedicated servers. There are a lot of features we would like to implement. Even if not all of them might be there from day one, keep in mind that development doesnt stop there. ;)

    This. Should be fairly easy to implement.
    Really useful when you jump in a server at the last second and the game "forgets" the setup.
