OMG!! My wish came true!! THANKyou THANKyou THANKyou THANKyou THANKyou THANKyou 
Racers on Platinum aren't able to use any of the driver aids. If they ignore the red warning message, they'll only be able to race a total of one race every 24hrs.. it's an automatic server-administered ban for ignoring the rules.
Which it should be, by then you better know the rules and heed server messages sent to you.
We can use autoclutch and manditor Cut on upshift. Yes it makes the cars a tad harder to drive but the races are that much better because of it. More driver errors =)
i like the idea of adding passenger(s) in fxo to make it less dominant but i have no idea if it needs some coding or something to make it work. i doubt that fxo drivers would voluntarily add extra weight.
I'd drive a lot more on the STCC servers (and TBOs in general) if the XRT was competitive. Being a roadblock isn't always that fun. With the tools we have now I think it is just impossible to balance the cars so that equal drivers in each car could have chance of winning.
I wouldn't mind even if the FXO was over corrected on the next incompatible patch making it the slowest, would make a change at least
Iirc in XRT you get 6 times more points and in RB4 you get 7 times more points than in FXO on STCC servers. Too bad it is harder to finish 7th in XRT than winning in FXO.
Still STCC is doing good job with the limits given by LFS.

I would have changed it so that FXO is the only car available for silver drivers and for them only but oh well
Eventually the amount of gold/platinum drivers will grow and then we're stuck with FXO's dominating the field again but I guess it helps a bit, for now, sort of 
Never really thought about what license's people have on the server at any given time.In any case it's good that something's being done and it's interesting to see how this works out.
Hopefully the incentive that the XRT and RB4 give more points towards your licence keeps drivers in those cars instead of jumping to the faster but less rewarding FXO.
The only reason I drive the XRT is I like the way it handles and feels on track ,never really tried it much before STCC, its great fun trying to up to speed with it and still keep everything feeling smooth and easy ( that slow is fast feeling) still nowhere near that point yet but it's a pleasure to drive.
Even if it got half the points of the FXO I would still be driving it.

Huh? I remember seeing you pwning everyone on demo-servers on a daily basis back in 2004. Maybe that was some other John Penn ...
He used to pwn me in an XFG, on demo 
And me in the XRT, his was blue iirc.
He pwns me now in S2 =)
hehe! He pwns in general I think! He's definitely no slouch!
To equal out the cars you need to weigh that FXO tart down with a few passengers! In last years CRC Stock Cup we had the same problem with the FXO whooping the other two cars.
I'm bringing back the Stock Cup this year without the FXO so it'll just comprise of the RB4 and XRT
^^ and on that note MR_B check the team forum
I used to pwn him on AS nat
I'll pwn ya both on GTRs
Thats by far the best idea in my opinion!
Only if its speed drifting =P
I donno, Limiting like that wouldn't be nice. Once you open a car you should be able to keep driving that car no matter what license.
I have a secret weapon
I think its the only way to even things out AND to get people learn more driving skills. For instance, a lot of danish drivers only drives fwd cars, thereby missing a great aspect of racing.
illepallI do agree that people should always try new cars. It might be worth atry, depends on what Sam wants to do with it really.
-1 from me for that idea.
Wasn't the point of the tiered servers to get good, fast racers onto the higher servers for STCC entrants to practice against?
The STCC itself has all 3 cars, so you want a mixed field to race against.
What about STCC drivers who use the FXO in the series?

Back then XFG was my car of choice there, still is
I remember trying the XRT and at that time it was MUCH harder to control than it is now, that first chicane at BL in the XRT.. ohhh man I still have fond memories of going into Basil Fawlty mode after once again spinning out on the exit yes you do...please stop it
STCC open hosts and TBO class
