Online Circuit Races.

Add Circuit races with the tire wear feature like in the motorsports playlist. Sprint race and endurance race separate options would be nice. Sprint would work as 3-5 laps around the track, and Endurance would have 6-9 laps. To really go above and beyond, add a leaderboard for points gained in races and at the end of every week or month you get a reward.

Grand Race and Demolition Derby get old, and a lot of the features in game that can be great addition to multiplayer are just ignored (For example the Rally Race in the red-bull playlist, motocross, and Circuit Racing like in the motorsports playlist). What’s the point of race tracks in an online game if there’s no online races using them?

I don't think 3 to 5 laps is enough, tire wear usually is necessary up to lap 3.

Having to pit only once seems like a fixed necessity, which is honestly one of the biggest issues making tire wear just a chore

The tires wear way too fast and in a perfect world I would want 8-12 laps for sprint type races and for endurance like 15-20. But chances are that won’t happen because people will use the excuse that it’s “an open world simcade game” and don’t have the attention span long enough for anything over 5 laps.

I love racing, and as an ACC player, I’d love to see TCM have actual online racing that’s closer to irl with more realistic tire wear while still managing to be a fun simcade.

Does it have to be exactly like real life or close to games that are actually focused on circuit racing and have penalty systems? No. But it can at least give the general feeling of it.

Yea it's such a shame, even a 10 minute race would've been a much better duration

Imo the upper limit is an hour or so, above that and it's a little tiring for casuals already
