My suggestion - implement a new platform identification field, potentially in "Participants" section, something like this:
uint8 m_platform; // the platform driver is racing on: 0 - unknown, 1 - PC Origin, 2 - PC Steam, 3 - PC Epic, 4 - Xbox One, 5 - Xbox Series, 6 - PS4, 7 - PS5 // NOTE: if it's possible, maybe also differentiate different types of consoles, if it's worth it?Hopefully this suggestion would not be difficult to implement and it would be useful. Also, I don't think it should be "Restricted".
That's a good suggestion and something we probably should have considered! Our main issue is that any change to the data format now could cause issues for the apps that have already been written, so we have always tried to lock down the format at launch. As such, I'm not sure that we can accommodate this request now.

Well, considering it's only launch week currently, I think it could still be possible. Plus I don't think App Developers wouldn't mind it too much as IMO it's a rather important identification field. But you guys do whatever you decide, this was just a suggestion. 🙂
