In the past, we had a series of maps that were visible for all players all the time, similar to xSF. This was popular with some players, but very unpopular with others, so we decided to take them out in favor of more scoped maps. In this case, the location of this map is far outside of the normal San Andreas map, making it very unlikely that players would randomly find it.
Furthermore, the cost of introducing a second race-like system in our code is significant, it makes it very hard to reason about which command to use when— especially when the existing infrastructure has been optimised to allow for this. We work very hard to make sure that our features are integrated well with each other.
Because of this, it really should be a regular race, and I'd be willing to accept it as one.
