I feel the need to react on the opening post
BTW Welcome on the forum Ghost, and thanks for your suggestions
I believe that one of the reasons that the cargame servers are populair is that the admins who are there are quite laid-back in their "work". Philosophy is that te race is for and by the racers.
Real crashers? Well you dont see them very often, in fact the servers are getting cleaner every week since the opening. In my opinion there are five reasons:
1. People who have S2 want to race and do their best (in general). Accidents happen, a lot, but accidents are part of the game. As you know, crashers and careless racers are punished.
2. The audience in the servers is starting to know each other; that gives a nice racing atmosphere
3. Newbies are welcome: they get explained the basics and receive help from admis AND racers
(setups, advice).
4. Safety system: you crash too much you will have to increase on the S1 server. Side effect there is that racers improve skills while increasing safety there.
5. Racers know that on purpose crashing will get them a ban so they won't. Well most of them
And if there is not an admin online? Well there is this forum and the "reports"-section. As you can see people find their way there and proper actions are taken from there.
If nl2dav feels that he needs more admins i know he will arrange that
I am totally cool with that.
For now, and for me, I think we all (server owner, racers and admins) are doing quite a nice job
Just my two cents.
Last but not least:

First two parts of the quote: fully agreed; Last part: disagreed. We don't want (most of) them elsewhere, we want them to improve in order to get good, respectfull and dedicated racers. And yes, I see it happening a lot
