If that's the case it should say it in the event restrictions as right now the game implies that they're legal.

Just checked the R League and you cannot select the F1 cars. Looking at the lobby settings there is nothing there that would prohibit them, so it's basically a hidden switch in the backend that has blocked those cars from online play.



I am okay with those cars being blocked on principle, but would prefer if people knew about the restriction in-game before they make the decision to buy one of those cars (which is more important now that the Token system is in place). Right now somebody could be fooled into buying a car because they think it is eligible, and then forced out of that car when they try to race online.

One of the Turn 10 team was in the Compacts Hopper this evening and he shed some light on why ineligible cars are not shown.



It turns out that when creating the lobby settings for a Hopper, Turn 10 have an additional menu where they can "blacklist" or "whitelist" additional cars. With some events if every black/whitelisted car was shown in the Event Restrictions, the list could be very long, which is why the list is not shown. I suggested that a list of eligible/ineligible cars could be posted online by Turn 10 when a League starts and the Turn 10 member seemed receptive to that idea.



As the 70s Grand Prix cars dominate the Leaderboards, they were marked as ineligible for the League. I'll update the opening post tomorrow when I'm on a desktop PC.
