Vote for next race after race finishes

I haven't seen this suggestion being posted in the past; if it has - sorry!

My suggestion is to allow players to start another race immediately after finishing one.

How it works in practice:
1. Host creates race
2. Host starts race with players
3. Everyone finishes the race
4. Players can leave the race or stay in it
5. In case of staying in the race:
a) the server picks out a number of racing tracks and a voting screen appears - everyone that stayed votes on a track. The track with the most votes wins and a new lobby is created with the players who stayed with the selected track. The host can start the race, wait for more players to join (in case lobby is not 4/4) or leave the lobby himself.

OR

b) the host picks the next track and players who stayed get to pick an option to stay or to leave. A new lobby is created with the players who stayed with the selected track. The host can start the race, wait for more players to join (in case lobby is not 4/4) or leave the lobby himself.

I'm a bigger fan of the b) option.

Why?
This will increase the easiness of racing as lobbies will now be able to get into race binging sessions, thus increasing the total number of races played on the server.

I've seen that the server already has a voting system present on URL races which means that the voting system won't have to be worked on from scratch.

Side question:
why is it not possible to host races with more than 4 players? Sometimes I have more than 3 friends online and we hate having to leave one of them out because no URLs are available.

Looks cool in theory, bleeds out in practice.
The only benefit from this that your friends you are play with don't have to rejoin again to the host's lobby and they are 100% included in the next races. That's cool, but only works really well if you play with just 1 friend otherwise it's totally worthless if you think about it. If you play with 2+ friend there's the option to put the password on the lobby, the host needs to pick map anyway (at least in the "b)" verison) so creating another lobby with the same password for the same 3-4 people after a race is just the same thing, with this system the only difference is the auto-join which isn't that useful in this scenario.
If we think about playing with random people, that's more like it, but i'm really sceptic about this as well. When i create a lobby, sometimes it's a miracle if i get 1 person who wants to stay in the lobby and don't leave immidiately from it, with this experience i highly doubt there would be more people who wants to stay in the same lobby after a race than people who don't (not to mention the fact if they lose miserably the chances for "they want to stay" are even lower), and if nobody wants to stay in the same lobby what's the purpose of this feature, you can rather create another new lobby again and you'll get the same result in this scenario as well.

The "a)" version is more interesting, adds a little versatility to the mix, but leads to some quiestions with some problems. First, it could include any kind of map from any race mode? if yes, what if all the votes are on an off-road track, and at least one member who stayed in doesn't have an SUV, what if it is the host, the whole lobby just cancels out? If we froced to keep the car we just raced with in the precious race and the server picks the maps that suits only the cars in the current lobby, what if somebody wants to race with a different car? That person just leaves and rejoins with the car he wanted to switch? In this case the whole "auto-join" thing loses its purpose at this point (which i guess would be the main goal of this system), and we're back to the same problem i listed in the previous section.
Random maps could be fun, but just until a certain point, they get bored really quickly. Quick race is a thing and almost nobody uses it even to this day where it has like +200% reward and nobody gives a shit about it.

The last thing that you can only start races with 4 people is what i agree the most in this topic, why couldn't we have sometime 4+ player race that isn't url, i jsut don't get it. If this were a thing the sections i listed up there would be spoken in a completely different tone, but it is what it is for now.
