1) Search Filters

For every restriction in the lobby, there should be a way to filter open lobbies by that restriction. Why are track and skid recovery the only filters? Examples:
* If I know my car has a max PP of 550, I'd want to see a list of rooms that have a PP of 550 or less
* If I want to race on sport soft tires instead of racing soft, I'd want to see a list of rooms that have tire restrictions

2) Additional Restrictions
* The ability to allow/disallow race cars and RM cars. Now that people can detune their cars, it makes it tough to run a street-car only lobby.

3) Combination of PP and HP/weight restrictions
* Maybe Poly thought we couldn't handle it but I would certainly like to keep the weight of cars in check even when using the PP system...again to keep 500kg cars from racing against 1200kg cars.

4) Multiple selection track filter
This is a nice to have. Basically if I'm not interested in scrolling through a bunch of NASCAR lobbies I'd like to be able display all tracks *except* daytona and indy.

All in all, I'm sick of scrolling through endless lobbies looking for one with the right restrictions that meet the car I want to drive.


Oh and two more things...

5) Pit road improvements

I'd like to be able to tweak suspension/tranny settings without exiting free run / race. This would make something like a 4hr endurance race possible where drivers could tweak their settings at each pit stop.

6) Improvments for lobby "watchers"
How hard would it be to allow a driver who just entered a lobby to make changes to his/her car while other drivers are completing a race. I hate having to wait until their race is over to figure out if I can meet the restrictions. It would also be nice to run some laps on the course while I wait but that may be too much to ask.

It would be neat to make a server with a "race track playlist".

In other words, you make a list of lets say 5 tracks. You sort out the tracks from easiest to hardest. You set the laps on each track and the car type for the whole series. You start the races. It first goes into a free run for atleast 10 minutes. Then it starts the race and it continues until the last race is over. The prize and xp for each race varies on the difficulty of the race. The winner in the end of the 5 races gets the grand prize which is determined by the difficulty of the race series.
 
That's a good idea as well.
