Online lobby wait time estimate

Online lobby wait time estimate

Hi!

TL;DR the lobby should display an estimate of the time left to the end of the current race

I've been playing online for a couple of days now and when I join a server and there's a game in progress, there's no way to tell how long it's gonna take until they finish. I think it would be helpful if the lobby showed an estimate of the time left until the end of the current race. It doesn't have to be too accurate and if it's update once every 5 seconds, it's enough. It's just to get an idea when to check back to join the next race.

Ok, that's great, thanks! But if the race is a normal race, then you could give a time estimate and it would be really helpful. Actually, you could estimate progress (not very accurately) for soccer games, too.

Ok! I upgraded to today's Android apk and this feature became immediately useful when waiting for a bot to finish a race everyone else dropped out of. The remaining percentage estimate works great and IMHO it's great as it is. Thanks!
