If you are willing to risk having one client be a bit more sluggish than the other five, you can run a client on the same computer as the server. That will let you have full 6-player matches.
Turn off all of the graphics bells and whistles on the computer doing double duty; put the server window mostly off screen or behind the Client window, and perhaps lower its screen resolution too. That should help it not get bogged down.

PS: Don't forget to use the replays to relive your favorite victories and taunt losing alliances (in a Graciously Professional manner, of course  )(or to perhaps train your real drivers).
