The game is plagued with non-participating managers who entered one or two races and then abandoned it. As I understand, because of it even fairly mature league are underpopulated as such managers are eventually removed. E.g. in my league (est. Nov 2019, races every day, so it should be around season 8 I guess) there are only 8 and 11 managers in Pro and Elite, in Pro almost everyone seems to be inactive. Meanwhile, I joined midseason and will likely not reach place 2 in Rookie because there are two more-or-less active managers.

Suggestion: limit number of promotion places (2, 3, 4) not based on the season, but instead on number of free places in the upper division at the start of the season. E.g. something like 0, 1 free places - 2 promotions, 2-5 free places - 3 promotions, else 4 promotions. Relegations could use a similar logic, but based on the number of free places in this division. Though this is probably less important, because relegated teams are inactive in 99% of cases anyway.

As it stands, I feel I'll give up on the game again if I'm not promoted this season, because there is zero interest in "winning" against a grid of bots.

Move to an active league. Mine is really active and always welcomes new managers. Rookie is really active and the gap between 2nd and 3rd last season was 8 points. That’s pretty close. We are in off-season now so perfect time to join.

We’re in the same time slot as you are now. Just saying 😊

leagues should be game run, 24 leagues cover the whole clock.

multiple divisions if needed in each league, number of promotions goes up starting at 3 teams going up to whatever it needs to be to fill league above.

the only problem with this option is assigning current drivers to leagues, randomly using your current level would be the way to go and yes some would be relegated but the racing would be so much better as your up against ppl the same as you every race

24 leagues don’t cover it. What about
- race lenght
- race speed
- racing days (days of the week)
- clock changes (not everyone has DST)
- racing against your friends
