Racing App on the phone for street racers

Since street racing is illegal, street racers that want to compete should gather a dongle or some sort of phone add on as a physical item in order to access this app on their phone that tells them when and where races are held. Police won't get alerts for it but these races will be city wide. Anyone with a dongle or said device that downloaded the app on their phone would be get a notification for races. They can then join the race and head to a meet up location on their map. Each race should also have a classification of vehicle in order to make it fair for all racers. So it could be ranked by Sports or letters like A-S+ (Each letter with a + means its fully upgraded). Every race that people enter will have a fee so that the top 3 winners have prize money. So each race could range from $1000-$5000 entry fees.

The phone is not something that can be customized due to the code being encrypted and me not having access to it.

Or just use the dark chat and make a channel for the races and use it for announcing when races are happening? xd I mean sure you won't see a direct GPS location for it but you can just announce the location in there.

yes we could that for the time being but with the app that he is talking about you can make full races with checkpoints and laps if I'm not mistaken

I have done this before and it doesn't seem to work too well because it dies off very fast.

Anyone used the current F4 racing script much?  Found it better to ignore the countdown for a manual start because of sync issues & you can only add laps by repeating checkpoints AFAIK.  Haven't used it enough to know if it's an option but thought I'd mention it in case anyone hasn't noticed it.

The current racing app is kind of borked. I know I have had as well as a few others where the checkpoints just disappear off the GPS.

Would encourage someone familiar with this issue to make a bug report with as much info as possible.  ideally a clip with any console error messages that may show up.
