Could you add a code that allows the design points from that race to be carried over to the new season. Adds more verity to season starts, I think the research has everything well balanced now.
The advance high level players would have in the first race would be ate up for the next race as lower levels gain more in research than higher levels.
This season proves it, RIDON Racing had the advantage going into round one but he has already been caught up.
Imagine he spends his 20 points on his weakness as it's an important area. Others are spreading them over the whole car in other important areas, he could be overhauled in no time and then he is playing catch-up.
