Members Choice XXIV Release, Poll Results & Changes!

Picture showing vehicles as part of this release.
Members Choice XXIV Pack Release!

A few things to cover and they are all Members Choice Poll related! Kicking off we have...

Members Choice XXIV Pack Release!

  • 1998 Crystal M3C 3.5 :

    Whilst this American luxo-barge never made it officially to the UK, it won US accolades in 1999 & was designed to compete against Europe's best.

  • 1991 Roamer B16 1.6 GTi 16V Twin Cam:

    The ludicrously long trim designation reflects the British and Japanese engineering that encompasses this smart looking, if somewhat forgettable hatchback.

  • 1984 Auby Quadrat 2.1 Sport:

    As the competition heated up in the World Rally Championship, a special version dubbed Sport was created with a shorter body to give a better weight distribution and to allow the 4WD system to be used to its fullest. This is the homologation version.

  • 1970 Portsmouth Superwing 7.0 426:

    Whilst the 1980s are known for its excess both in cars and in culture, the huge wing and nose cone proves that such excess was nothing new. Proving itself the aerodynamic King in American Stock Car racing, this road version is never going to fail to turn heads.

  • 1997 Roamer B00 1.8 VVT / BRG:

    (Double Bonus) Two very similar cars, both acting as a precursor for more sporting versions, they give quite different attitudes from the outside. The former looking quite benign in its potential and the latter shouting from the rooftops with its bright orange grille!

The following vehicles were also updated:

  • Updated specs of 1984 Auby Quadrat Turbo.

As usual, the above vehicles may be available new or secondhand in the classifieds, as appropriate, from time to time! All players can access these vehicles.

A massive thank you to those that have contributed towards getting these in-game!

Thanks to everyone that participated in this poll!

Vehicles from this poll are planned to release before the next poll ends!

Members Choice Poll Changes

As per the most recent Member's update, after 25 Members Choice Polls, totalling 135 vehicles* (including the above vehicles yet to come) it is now time to make some changes to how the polls work.

If you are not familiar with how the polls have worked to date, then they are held within the forums and members can vote for vehicles that they would like to see in the game. The top four vehicles are then picked with a bonus ball vehicle being selected from previous submissions that failed to make the cut on multiple occasions.

There have been a number of revisions to how the process works over the years, typically on the number of vehicles and timings of each poll. However, the packs are increasingly becoming home to vehicles which don’t necessarily represent the variety of vehicles to best fit within the vision of the game. One solution would be to replace them with purely my own choices, with an eye on community feedback. However, I want to continue giving members a direct voice if possible, so after contemplating various options and for the time being, the following changes are planned:

  1. Whilst the vehicle packs will still typically consist of five vehicles, 3 will be chosen by Members, 1 will be a "MotorNation's choice" where it will fit some sort of need or "hole" within the game and finally the Bonus Ball will continue with a new stipulation:

    The bonus ball, whilst still randomly picked, will be the first selection that is sufficiently different from the other vehicles chosen in the pack.

  2. Going from typically five members' choice packs a year to four. This will give me more opportunity to deliver the features and other varied content that players can enjoy now that the game has nearly reached 500 vehicles in total.

  3. If a UK domestic model is available, then that will typically be used in preference. This is because the game is currently set in the UK and domestic models fit in more easily within the rest of the game. This may change when the planned regions are added to the game and it will continue to be judged on a case-by-case basis.

As usual, the selection of vehicles chosen for the pack will be discretionary. As an automotive enthusiast myself, I appreciate all nominations and I hope you can understand that as MotorNation is a different game to most and I would also like the vehicle roster to reflect that too!

* This doesn’t include Gold Members Packs and similar own vehicle submissions!
