We need a category on the mod site for ARS races.

Title. ARS is one of the best racing mods I've seen, and I'd like to see a category for it to help find it on the mod site for custom tracks.

Not a whole new category, more so a new tag.

@mrwallace888 Making an specific category for just 1 mod is not worth it. Even if it was going to be worth it, it's not possible due to the fact that the site structure is complex and would require a lot of work (probably a rebuild) and time being put by the devs (which they can't spend on this sadly).

On the other hand, why would a single mod need an specific tag? Makes no sense unless it's a mod like Menyoo which provides resources and/or tools/options for the creation of additional mods.

@Reyser but ARS has a track builder and there are few right-of-the-bat ARS compatible tracks out there, so at least making a tag for it would be nice imo

I agree a tag could be useful, although I don't know if ARS is popular enough to warrant a tag. But, adding a tag like race or similar wouldn't hurt anything.

Edit: I see there is already a racetrack tag. So maybe the tag should not be race because it could cause confusion.

[Reyser]

The racetrack tag can work for ARS tracks as well as it does for any other. I don't see a reason to have an specific tag for it when there's that global one.

[Jitnaught]

racetrack seems to be for any map that is a racetrack. So there's no way to differentiate between map racetrack, and AI race pathing (ARS).

[mrwallace888]

ARS is a much better variant of the race scripts since it doesn't use AI pathing, but rather uses a custom racing line setup and stuff. Since it has a more functional system, it'll likely start to replace Street Racing and Community Races. I'd love to get more custom ARS tracks instead of community races, so a tag could be nice.
