In earlier versions, the purpose of what is currently the fastest lap message queue included showing funny messages and even digs whenever someone caked, gummed, etc. someone else. This gave the game a more lighthearted and community vibe. Would work even better with some tweaks now that online is a thing.
A primitive version of this system does in fact exist for the modern STK codebase. It's bundled in risostk's "training mode" branch, along with showing collectibles on the minimap and usernames on the minimap (the latter's buggy and would probs need to be taken out, the collectibles thing works great and could be an option at least in artist debug mode or a regular setting tbh?).
