Ok, I've been having a think about how the team seats are allocated for next season. Up until now I've shared them out based on a mixture of rewarding success, time spent in game, similiarities with real drivers, personal requests etc... you get the idea.
But I'm looking for a change so that players get more of a chance to end up at their favourite team. I'm not sure exactly how to do this but a general idea I have at the moment is that next year when people sign up, they'll fill in a form listing their preferred team, their second choice and so on, down to their tenth choice. Then I can assign the seats (in order of, for example, wins) giving everybody their highest available choice, so if people don't get their favourite, they will at least find themselves at one of their preferred choices.
The idea is that when somebody has a good season and increases their win tally, such as Montie this year, they move up the order and closer to where they want to be. I also thought that finishing in the top eight of the championship and/or getting more than one win in a season could give you the option to hold on to your seat for the next season.
A step in the right direction or just making things overly complicated? If you've any other ideas let me know. Either way, its definitely time I stopped playing Bernie and gave people some damn freedom! :)

I can't say I was unsatisfied with what you had done.
Any team will do for me as long as that team is owned by a privateer and based in England. I'm not picky.
-badboy ;D
Yeah that sounds fine by me Pete. Whatever everyone considers fair is good enough for me :)

I think that this is a good idea. This way you can work your way up to a top team. Keep it up!
BMW (Heidfeld's seat) for me ;)
Fisichella
Maybe I should change my nickname aswell...
Well, using the idea outlined above, as top eight finishers this season all three of you would have the option to hold on to your current seats :)
It seems that there might be no place for you Atomic... ;)
Fisichella
Hehe yeah, maybe finally time to move on. I'm reasonably confident the team will find a buyer though. I think Prodrive might make it onto the grid after all :)
Hey, Pete
Seems your team may make it after all! Check out this link http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpass_news_item.php?fes_art_id=37023
Hey Pete,
Any news on this years teams?
LOL, Pete in Ross Brawn's team. I knew you were a Ferrari guy all along!
-Badboy
Hehe and there's a vacant Ferrari seat too...
Or maybe I'll come join you at Williams, the team needs a leader :P
Choices, choices :)
