Option to only see friends cars/nicknames ingame
I guess i'm not the only one who have been on a server with 30+ random people and some of my IRL/clan friends. Since you probably are most interested in racing your friends, you would like to be able to spot them more easily in the crowd. Now you have the option to see all the cars (or none of them), with or without their nick floating over the roofs. But all those nicks are a bit messy, at least i think so. So what if, you could choose to only see your friends cars, or you want to see all the cars, but only your friends nicks? An easy way to filter this out would be an option to see only the nicks/cars from your buddylist or group. I'd think that would be an awesome feature - making the game more friend friendly 

Re: Option to only see friends cars/nicknames ingame
Agreed, those nicknames are quite a mess. I currently have turned them off, but problem could be fixed in two ways:
1. Limit them (your suggestion)
2. Make them transparent/smaller when farther away/behind a wall
If neither will be implemented, I just keep them off :/

Yeah, transparency is also a nice way to deal with this, in a combo of limitations. But you can actually make them smaller in the advanced config

This whould be exelent 

Re: Option to only see friends cars/nicknames ingame
I agree, that would be great! I turned off the names because, as you said, it gets quite messy when there's a lot of people racing. Especially in rounds, which I prefer.
Re: Option to only see friends cars/nicknames ingame
I registered just to say that this is a great idea.
A filter that only shows people on your buddylist and/or country would be awesome.
I want this!

This suggestion was also made in the French forums :http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3551
And it was quite popular there too. I REALLY hope they'll implement that sooner or later, because like many of you I have to turn cars/nicknames off because there are so many of them, so I feel like I'm playing alone.
