A suggestion I have been thinking about myself as well as discussing with some people in my league.

I am sure this will get rejected but here goes.

Allow each team to field up to four or five cars if their finances, spare parts and engines permit it.

This is because I have some teams in my league with lots of money, parts and maxed facilities due with the capacity to run 3-5 cars in each race, but other teams struggling with very little money, poor facilities and not enough spare parts to repair each car for each race. 

Based upon this, it is clear that the smaller teams would be better off only being able to run one car each race and not drain their resources as much, allowing them to upgrade facilities and close the gap to the bigger teams. 
The bigger teams could also aid to closing this gap by running three or more cars in each race, draining their money and parts more. 

Essentially what I am suggesting is an IndyCar style league where the biggest teams can run four cars and the smallest run a single car. This idea is somewhat influenced by my enjoyment of IndyCar as a series.

Instead if thinking about it, should be another motorsport than open wheel racing like this. But good idea of course. I have an imagination of an air board motorbike-like pyshics racing where a team has 4 riders. Maybe someday, if you are a sporting director or something involving of creation, you can take part of this idea into it. Would be amazing...

It would be nice if struggling teams had the option to downsize to one car without having to leave a two car league.

You mean like letting car 2 rot by contracting a default-like driver(50K) and not fixing or repairing daily? Yea it'll continue to breakdown during races but you'll save a chunk of cash, parts and 50% of your engines... That's as close as you'll come to running one car in a 2-car league.  

And if you change your mind, wait till next season when igp makes your car as good as new for the opening day of your season.

No, I mean entering only one car and having driver 2 be a reserve so they can be canned without being forced to have a replacement.

Well, never know i this ever happens in history. Yet, we are mandated to follow rules as it is. Also, for two car leagues like real world car racing at most, teams are obligated to bring two drivers in every race. However in other motorsports, your opinion is a fact of exception especially in WRC or MotoGP. In the 2000s era not all the teams have 2 drivers. Moreover, teams like Peugeot and Subaru ever carried out more than 3 even 4 drivers. While in MotoGP, some of the satelite teams ran a single rider for their team... hope this refreshes...

I probably would keep the limit at 2, since having 5 cars to manage would be fun to put in a race viewer, especially on mobile

On mobile it would probably work the same as normal, just cycling through them.
