Might be a useless idea, but make sure you have all filters OFF on the multiplayer server list (all filters should be set to [yes] on the bottom, also, all column headers should be black). After you set these, refresh the list.
That would be such a touch! Also making the intervals a function of time (for example, much more lights in the evening than during the night). I think that would make South City so special and alive.
I agree with booplesnoot here. Great thoughts and feedback, but I think pairing light temps with the car's (fictional) age is the least important thing right now (I may be wrong ). Some variety in light temps across all the cars would be great, though!
Reversed grid is, on its own, fun. I just suggest changing the scoring for race 2 (half the points would be awarded, for example). It would encourage drivers to practice and get great results on qualifying (which is an important part of racing events). Just my two cents
