Ballast

As far as I understand, you are working on improving the league rules for the host, in this regard, I would like to ask about the possibility of disabling ballast in pro & rookie.
It seems to me that this is often a problem when a player of 11-14 level gets into the elite, and not 18-20, and then spends the whole season in the elite, losing to everyone by a minute or more. 
Thanks.

Wouldn't that make them lose by like an hour in rookie or pro?

This is the Way. Better to lose to higher level players at all stages, and not just in the Elite. And they will not be in the "elevator" mode, ascend to the Elite and instantly fly out.

If Rookies are analogous to F3, and Pro are analogous to F2, then the best way to keep mid/low-level managers out of the Elite is financial handicap. As well as in real championships

To participate in F1, how much do they need to pay? $200 million of contribution? OK let the devs figure out how much a manager needs to pay for his team to participate in the Elite class. Not necessarily in money, he can pay with tokens. The contribution should not be cosmically inaccessible. But one that manager can earn as his team grows and progresses. Plus the benefit for the devs - another motivation for players who are ready to pay with real money. For the rest, this is the motivation to earn and upgrade the team, while being in the league of Pro/Rookies

Then the ballast and the "elevator" system can be canceled. Strong managers rise to the Pro and then to the Elite, while the rest improve their teams. After all, motorsports is not football. Like in real life. The manager has earned the required amount? Welcome to the Elite. No money? Develop the team, win, earn and keep rising

Because of the mandatory fee, newcomers to the Pro and Elite will no longer be whipping boys. But experienced and tough guys who will be hard to beat

I have to disagree I’m afraid. Without ballast, a lvl 20 relegated to pro will win promotion without a fight, it means lower level pro’s are condemned  to stay there until they reach level 19 or 20, creating a “closed circuit elite” tier. 


At the moment a good manager knows how to survive in elite even beeing lower level, on the same argument, a good lvl 20 manager knows how to get promoted back into elite.

It’s a management game, lower level managers in elite should use all the tricks they have to avoid relegation, I know it can be hard but it’s not impossible. It’s a waiting game and it’s about taking opportunity at the right moment which I think what management is all about.

That’s my 2 cents

Therefore, I'm talking about the possibility of disabling ballast in the league by the host, and not about removing this feature everywhere.

Doesn’t turning off promotion and relegation get you the same result?
