i would want to see driver orders come onto the game for managers who can not make the races each day. i am frequently away and no time to setup on the game, driver orders would make sense to remain just as competitive during the races.
order 1: (drop down list with lap) - (drop down list with driver setting for how hard to ease off/hold position/push hard)
order 2: ....
make it go upto 5-6 orders per race. at least this way the competition can remain competitive while their managers have no chance to attend for that event and come home finding they got the best they could do.
