Ported DLC cars are NOT allowed for PC runs

Hey everyone. It's been a while since we last had an update posted to the site, but recently there was a change that needed to be discussed.

Recently, the port made by MXX Rixen (also known as Elysium) received an update wherein they ported all of the DLC cars from console onto the PC version. While we have allowed the port of the console exclusive track Quarry on the PC categories of the boards, we have decided to not allow the ported cars for the PC categories.

The reasons for not allowing them are as follows: -Even though the DLC cars are made by the devs, only the console version of the DLC cars are officially from them. The PC versions are ports, and ports can be imperfect. -While it's easy to compare ported tracks, ported cars are much harder to draw direct comparisons with their console counterparts. The Quarry port was only allowed because the mods extensively compared it to the console version, and found it to be allowable. -While most of the cars drive similarly, it has been noted that with some of the cars, they don't seem to have been ported correctly. -Allowing for wholly new cars that are modded in opens the door wider for possible cheating. As a reminder, the only time a modded version of the game is allowed is (a) if it is a purely cosmetic change, and (b) if it has been cleared by one of the mods before the run is submitted.

In conclusion, we have decided to NOT allow ported DLC cars in the PC categories of the boards. DLC cars are still allowed in the console categories, as those are directly from the devs.

Thank you for reading, and happy racing!
