As mentioned below, it will stay live for a few weeks or so. If there is enough activity it will become a permanent Hopper, it's up to us players to make that happen. ;)

Given that these cars dominate the R/900 Leaderboards on most circuits this is understandable and ensures that those rooms have more variety in them.



Unfortunately however that leaves these cars with nowhere to be raced,





To the best of my knowledge, these are the only cars in the game that are currently blacklisted from online racing, as the compact D/400 cars have recently been whitelisted and are eligible for use again in the lower classes.



I think that's a great shame as these cars have many qualities which make them great for racing:



These cars have a lot of grip, particularly at the rear, which makes them easy to drive.



These cars are moderately fast and agile, which makes them well-suited to side-by-side racing.



As leaderboard cars, there are several great tunes available to suit almost any kind of driving style.



The 3 cars themselves are relatively well-matched, each having their own strengths and weaknesses.



So what can be done?



As mentioned previously, these cars are blacklisted from the current R/900 Hopper for being too strong compared to the rest of the cars in that class. Also, Leagues are typically only open for a single week (Can-Am is the first league that lasts an entire month, split into 4 individual segments).



If it were up to me, I'd have one of these 2 options as a new Hopper, to be selectable in addition to the current R/900 Hopper:



Unlimited R-Class

This would be the same as the current R/900 Hopper but also allow the F1 cars to be used. The Can-Am cars can be faster on come tracks, so it might be interesting to see them do battle with the F1s.



1970s Grand Prix

This would be an R/900 Hopper where only the 1970s Grand Prix cars are eligible, similar to the League that was set up in the past. It has already proven to be a fun and enjoyable category with the potential for great racing.



In either case, these are amazing cars that drivers of all skill levels can enjoy. I hope that as a Multiplayer racer I can use them more often in the future.
