Amalgamate?
So I for one am pretty buzzed about the news of Moto and WRC series arriving in the game, my driver is not built for Moto, and WRC is a while away yet, but it's great to see an expansion like we saw with tin tops and Private Cars way back when.
I've been here since BETA, and it's refreshing and reassuring to see this game grow... However... Sometimes to grow you have to shed a few layers...
Top flight series are (mostly) at full compliment of driver applicants year on year, which is great, along with a lot of central tiers proving full of activity. Chuck Moto and WRC into the mix and these series will dilute, for the right reasons, which again will allow for specialisation, this for me is absolutely the right way for MRC to advance, but with that, F3 series's will become ever more vacant. Currently, there are 129 empty seats across F3 Regionals and Nationals (the two lowest tiers)... That's over four ENTIRE championships worth of absent drivers.
For me, the only way to combat this is to thin out the options, simple as it sounds. I wouldn't want to be the guy deciding which series to cut from the line-up, but I feel there are simply too many options in these categories, namely a few of the Regionals, which realistically could be put together and broadened into a wider regional championship.
F3 for the spreadsheet enthusiast is about a protected investment than an out-and-out competition sometimes.
We all have an "I'd love to see..." list for this game, i myself would love to see a 2.0 rated Super Formula / Formula Nippon series up there with F2 World and Formula E as even more F1 talent (Vandoorne, Pierre Gasly etc) are ramping up the series' already lofty global profile. But again, we're back to trimming the edges lower down to allow growth at the top end.
This PR is basically utterly pointless, I'm not pitching a hypothetical, or asking a question, or delivering something profound... More-so a musing, and I wonder if it's a sentiment echo'd around the community?
