Terry's Not Wrong, but this New System Is!

For once Terry isn't talking nonsense. This new system is entirely unfair. I posted about this when it was suggested but clearly somebody else shouted louder.

Any system that charges teams differently to participate in a game where they get an identical experience is in and of itself inherently unfair. What's worse is that those at the bottom arguably get a worse experience due to the nature of a competitive simulation game and are now being charged more for the privilege of being in a game where mathematically they can never catch up. This new system literally has the bottom 6 teams paying so the top 4 can continue to race for titles indefinitely.

Ford, for me, falls just above the cusp of acceptability. We are going to be looking at around 150 coins per major share issue and maybe another 50 for the minor (that wasn't actually very clear). Luckily for me I have a great set of owners who often pony up for our share issues and we have long had a system in place to maintain as much fairness in the team as possible so it's not a killer for us. BUT if Ford were a 600 rated team... I would be out of F1 with no hesitation at all with this new system.
