Automatic Relegation

Hi, could you give the possibility to enter championships even in lower categories? For example if I am elite and I see a nice championship but it is full, I would like to be able to enter pro, with an automatic relegation, instead of having to look for other championships that are the last race to go back in pro ... also because the filters do not work well ?.

It could also help rookie / pro categories which are almost always empty, thus avoiding dispersing players for almost empty leagues.
What do you think?

so you want to be able to go back to pro even though your car is at elite level?

(if its easy wins you want start your own league and race on your own.)

you should only be relegated or promoted if you deserve it.

being able to relegate yourself by joining an ending league should be stopped, maybe we need a period mid season where teams can leave or join a league to stop this happening.

When someone changes level, they need to start one league lower in new league. 

hq lvl 20 driver lvl 20 is a massive boost against pro drivers, unless they give up playing the driver alone gives them the speed to overcome the extra weight carried.

he will start with more dev points due to his cd or td and yes maybe others will catch up but getting relegated on purpose to me is bad sportmanship

You don't know what you're talking about, there wouldn't be the differences you believe, and even if wins level 20, this would help to see fewer people like you in elite. It's not bad sportmanship but just the right thing to do.

Having Top Level drivers does nothing even if you are relegated, the Ballast makes things fair. We have recently finished a season with 4 Level 20 Teams in Pro, 1 finished 1st, but he's a damn good racer, the second finished 3rd, the third 5th and the fourth finished 7th in the standings, all of them have level 20 drivers and maxed HQs so please lets have no more of this 'level 20 players win all the time' mentality, it's not what you have but how you use it.

Personally I think being able to relegate yourself is a good idea if the league you want to join is full, but perhaps only allow such an option if it is actually full or we may get some people who want the 'easy wins' joining pro purely for that reason.

so im right then as once your level 20 and have your staff they dont get any better yet while going through promotions you have to keep upgrading your TD and CD so that you get the dev points you should for your level, getting that TD and CD isnt always easy.

right now a level 20 players gets more dev points to put on his car than i do per race, i may get good exp from racing with them but i'm always behind, ive also found having a level 20 hq means more car parts made so repairing your car every race is easier.

The original post was about someone wanting to be relegated, im trying to point out why it would be an advantage yet im shocked ppl are trying to say it wont be.

it you do not have a better car and overall better team at lvl 20 why is there even levels in the game.

True, if the level 14 has at least a level 10-11 Technology.


I joined a league mid-season (race 11/22) with a freshly created Rookie team. By the end of the season I was already level 8, cause there were a few level 20 inactive teams in Rookie. I got the 2nd place in the Championship and I got promoted to Pro. But my Technology was level 1 (and so my Design). Cause upgrading Design and Technology is hella slow compared to leveling up in lower tiers now that so many leagues are plenty of high level teams in lower tiers.
Following season in Pro, I was always the fastest one in Practice, in Qualifying and during races but my Technology was level 1 (then upgraded to level 2 and level 3). Result: Even tho I was always the fastest one in racing pace, I didn't have the drs and kers to fight with slower cars and always finished behind a few of them. My whole kers battery lasted the duration of a 5% usage of a level 20 team. And drs was completely useless.

I'm in favour of Gaetano's suggestion but I think the whole "cap level and ballast" thing has to be completely reworked in the game.
In my opinion, it would be better and fairer for a high level team to be limited at level 14 with his Technology and Design facilities if they are in Pro, instead of giving them ballast but still allowing them to use a level 20 technology and get 20 points from Design.
If they're in Pro, they should be limited to a level 14 technology and get 14 points from Design.
If they're in Rookie, they should be limited to a level 8 Technology and a level 8 Design.
No ballast.
