It's worse than that, if you're on a world on your own your top 10 cars becomes copies of your best car. You destroy diversity even quicker with fewer players!

At least with lots of players, as pubnub said, some of those identically named cars were actually different generations and different cars, but were cousins or otherwise related from a common ancester.

One recommendation would be to incorporate any mutations into the ID, so if it started f0660f and mutated it would be f0660f0b or something, to track parentage (And in fact it would be cool if crossovers were tracked in the ID too, a bit like the Russian patronym or spanish matronym)

What did you do? Now most champions don't actually work. They get stuck at the start.
