By the way, something will change from next year :
- The Tiers
They will still be defined by the last season Standings but there won't be 4 Tiers and 3 teams per Tier. Inspired with what has always happened IRL, I have defined new "categories" to get a pyramid system :
1st - Defending Champion (New Tier 1)
2nd - Runner-Up (New Tier 2)
3rd - Runner-Up (New Tier 2)
4th - Upper Mid-Field (New Tier 3)
5th - Upper Mid-Field (New Tier 3)
6th - Mid-Field (New Tier 4)
7th - Mid-Field (New Tier 4)
8th - Mid-Field (New Tier 4)
9th - Back-Marker (New Tier 5)
10th - Back-Marker (New Tier 5)
11th - Back-Marker (New Tier 5)
12th - Back-Marker (New Tier 5)
Remember that "Tiers" here do not define the Pace of your car but your Attractiveness (Helps for signing Drivers) and your Performance Obligation (Rewards)
