Mikas post triggered an idea, or I like it if that's exactly what he meant: The drivers gain on their birthday party 6 kg of weight, minus 1 kg for each star from the doctor? Would be nice for some long term driver training, also age becomes more important as it gets harder to train away those kgs, especially if a team still opt to fire the doctor for his wage after finishing that 'last' set of drivers.
Also there was a debate on the minimum weight. How about there's an ideal weight above, let's say 70kg as example. You still can train below, as of now, to reduce car weight, but from then on at a malus for the driver, either general or like -1 Stamina per 1 or 2 kg as it has an averse affect on the drivers fitness.
There could be a soft cap, like at 60kg, from then on weight reduction is only 0.1 kg on the car per kg on the driver, like the regulation weight of the car is reached then and pace increase is only due to better ballast positioning or so.
Why not? ?
Honestly, I do not make advantage anything, but it would be fairer.
Let's say 6kg more not counting the doctor's stars, or 6kg - half the doctor's stars ... The most realistic scenario would be that the pilots gain weight directly proportional to their age or rather at their level, decreased in percentage by the doctor's stars. When a driver reaches the maximum level (reaching 20 in experience) the weight gain is significantly reduced so as not to encourage the excessive use of young drivers, who are often too competitive.
Sorry for bad translation ??it's that internet translater offer?
