these ideas (especially the last two are pretty cool).

I've thought about exactly the same things for a racing game, and I hope that we'll find at least some of them in Railracer and/or Raceway.

i love these suggestions, although I'm not so keen on the cops and the training mode. but these suggestions could turn topspeed into a really raelly really cool game, and it's already my favorite game right now.
keep up those suggestions, they sound way fun.

What does that have to do with Top Speed?

I like the feature in the version already where you can play on a network. I have used that feature to play with my friend...
Anyway, I sort of agree; cops aren't realistic in racing games anyway.

Maybe, they could introduce tunnels, bridges, and other things your car could go on. Well that's it for now.

another off topic bit but... is everybody going to have a signature like the best audiogamer the ultimate audiogamer whatever? this is getting a little wierd.
regarding bridges and tunnels: yes please!

You know, has anyone played "sanfransisco rush?"
Anyway, I think it would be cool if we could have a track like this:

asically, its a pipe. You have to drive over it without goig over the side- and you go through tunnels, and have to do jumps. I love the idea of jumps, makes the game more fun, the only thing I'm wondering is how would we, as blind players, go over jumps? (Know when to put on the breaks etc)?
Also, a stunt track would be cool- say, the more jumps we do, and we could have ticks. In rush, there's the following:

right roll
left roll
front flip
air time (can be multiplied, not sure how that works- but I'm willing to investigate).
er, thee are a few others, and you can o combos and stuff like that.
I think, the way playinginthedark is going right now, in the future, I believe you guys should make a water rcing game (using boats, jetskis, sea-doos, etc). That'd be totally awesome- I'd be willing to pay for it, too.

Anyway, back to top speed.
I don't know about training mode; but, of course, if more of these suggestions are taken into action, we might just need a training mode.
I think it would be cool if you could kustomize your vehicle more- say, if you were driving on ice and snow, you could kustomize your tires so you wouldn't slip as much- and, of course, usin career mode, you'd need money to buy certain tiresand such.
I can't stress how much I'd love to see a championshp mode in this game, not just with a points system, but you earn something for those points or money or whatever, and if you win ll the tracks, there could be, say, easy, and when you get done that, you get normal unlocked, and you can get money and buy yourself whatever, from engines to new cars, etc. This may sound far-fetched-- but, we want a realistic racing game; that's what most racing games sited people play have built in, and it just makes the game _so_ much more fun, and you just want to go back to it, again and again, seeing if you can unlock such and such a car, etc.
Of course, there could stil be sngle race; but, this could be just a practice session or something. Heck, I don't know about you, but if this meant we'd have to pay, I'd wok my butt off to get enough money to pay for it- but, even if its free, and if this game has caeer mode, this takes racinggames for the visually impaired to a hole new level. I mean- we might even be able to make a multiplayer championship! Now, that would be totally awesome!
Sorry for this long post- these are just my feelings.

game man,

Excellent idea!

there should be unlockable tracks! i have an idea for the unlockable system.
you start off with, say the blackbird firefox and mini.
you can then unklock, the quatro, the 2 bikes, and then the ability to play with custom cars (yes, that means you'll have to work to be able to join the "racing community"!) that'fdd be cool.
also i thin, like timberwolf said, there should be the abilit to rev up your car, for example you would pess the arrow, let go, press the arrow let go, it rizes and falls. it's hard to explain. then ythere's the whole thing about spin-outs, hold the arrow you will skid, getting to a head start.
regards,
aaron

i don't really like that one...
how about some kind of high scores though, such as, multi player games will upload your score to the net, such as.
1 weird player, score 1066, 40 wins, 38 losses.
the score would then be something like the type of car you haves beaten and different tracks where you won on would give you varying amounts of bonus points. for example:
blackbird 20 extra points for each blackbird you've beaten (if you won)
firefox 15, minny 30 and quatro 50. thunderbolt could be 10 and wildcat 5.
just throwing around some tournament ideas.

What would be cool is if you could tell topspeed, "run at 2:30 pm, connect to an ip address of 142.11.44.5, select the "america" track and the "blackbird racecar."

Sure you could script it but for those (like me) who are not familiar with scripting, and even for those who know everything about scripting, it can be easier on you. What do you think of that one?

agree there... what's the point?

Since there's really no point in it, why make it. I mean, yur in front of the keyboard. Your selecting your own car. I mean, you should be able to do that anually, don't you think? Since the car can't race itself for you, that would be kinda pointess, really.
