Ok guys, there has been some discussion on another thread about getting some guys together to run a season with some good ideas. Hawkeye and I were chatting with Sassafrass and killerclown today while we were doing some testing and all four of us seem to like the idea, so if everyone is on board we'll go ahead and shake up the season. Here's what we've been talking about.
To make the competition tighter, and to make it a little more like real life F1 we'll switch from equal car performance to 2012 specs so each car has their real attributes. However it would be turned into a "career progress" type championship carrying on to the next season if enough interest is maintained.
This would work by putting the quicker guys into the slowest cars, then with good performances you could move up to a quicker car the following season. I've divided the cars into tier groups, here's what I'm thinking.
Tier 1:
McLaren
Ferrari
Red Bull
Tier 2:
Lotus
Mercedes
Williams
Tier 3:
Force India
Sauber
Torro Rosso
Caterham
Marrusia and HRT will not be used due to not having KERS.
Based off the results and testing with the two new guys (Sass, Killer) I think if Hawkeye and I switched to Tier 3 cars, and everyone else chose a Tier 2 team, it would create better competition, then based on championship points we could either promote or demote people to different teams based on performances.
If everyone is on board, we'll continue the season as planned, and implement the changes. Let's hear who's for or against. 👍
I'll need to know your teammate and your PSN id's you'll be racing with.
