I have a quick question.
Is it possible that the top 3 ranked drivers of each division will race in the same lobby?
So they can race each other.

I think if you’re going to go that route, you might as well just make the whole lobby divisional. It’d be tough for the bronze drivers to win a lobby against gold drivers. Winning and podiums builds confidence and I think each division should have the opportunity to experience that. My vote is for division lobbies instead of mixed.

Based off of that statement and looking at last season, 3 lobbies would have produced the following # of drivers in each:
R1 6.6
R2 9.3
R3 8.6
R4 8.0
R5 7.6
R6 9.0
R7 8.6
R8 9.3
R9 9.6
R10 9.6
R11 9.6
R12 10.3
R13 9.0

I'm assuming this doesn't take into consideration the division splits

And with gold and bronze having less than silver, silver lobby could see 16 where as gold and bronze may only see 6 each.
Idk guys I wasn’t going to get involved with this one but the more I think about it, ARL is unique in the way we have been doing things (SUCCESSFULLY). Going divisional is something I’d be against. I feel low the “slower” guys/wifey learn by following the faster guys. If we split up, there’s a lot more that could be lost. Take a deep thought and consideration with this one.

I agree with the uniqueness. Splitting up the lobbies by division looks too much like SNAIL.
 
I find Guido's suggestion a much better compromise between faster and slower drivers. The top 3 could have a better free space ahead to fight without any additional interventions. But it's best to have a mixture of division drivers. I do not have an exact picture of how the grid is sorted during qualifying (i.e. raw session times, or divisional times)

Either way, as long as it encourages closer racing and less disruptions, it should be fine.

Yes it will be available when it releases, the same rules apply to new cars as car changes meaning you will drop your points by switching. We have done this with the McLaren F1 & Aston Martin DB9 when they were released

Hmm...so theoretically it's dropping the first few races if the new car is much better.

Though I'm still working on my next selection, undecided at the moment whether to use a turbocharged or NA.

That's right. No disrespect, but I don't think Bronze vs Bronze actually benefits Bronze, if you get my meaning. This is one of the few leagues you can interact with quicker drivers on track and put yourself under that pressure to learn and be better. Besides, racing in half size lobbies every week is definitely not the norm for this series and would absolutely suck.

I humbly request assistance. I have a photo I need converted to svg. I cant do this myself I've tried. I just dont have the know-how or patience to get it right. I'd gladly compensate for the work.

I'd like 2 decals. One full logo and one just the "Tapatio" portion.

He brings up the point I was about to make. Our races get so spread out that I don’t think the bronze drivers are really learning anything at all from the faster drivers. They might follow them for a lap or two but then once they’re out of reach they just settle into their own pace anyway. The divisions find each other on the track regardless. I think dangling a trophy in front of someone will motivate them more to drive faster then watching someone blow their doors off. If they want to learn from faster drivers they can participate in the driving school or we could also make the mock races mixed and official race divisional.
 
Maybe gold with a rotation of top silvers, and the rest of the silvers with the bronze drivers in the beginning. Once the season gets sorted after a few races itll be a little more apparent who the top silvers are then pretty much be able to exclusively run them with the golds and keep the rest together
