So here is a long post of my personal suggestions of reforms. I will be glad if you can read all of them. But if you are tight on time, you can skim through each section by heading (and sub-heading in some cases) that I have separated and categorized, then read the ones that interests you the most. Or simply check the table of contents!

Anyways, happy reading!

Addition of daily tasks
Just like a lot of other games, include a variety of daily tasks each day, like win 3 eliminations, 3 cups, and 3 autocrosses. Can be from a certain group or a certain number of minimum laps. Reward can be like 5-10 by the time of completion, or alternate  and BRL rewards each day. This would provide a positive incentive and motivation to race, especially to people who has nothing left to do in the game.

Revamp WTTT to 2 tracks per week, 2-week cycles
From 4 tracks to 1 is simply too big of a stretch in my opinion. It really depends on the track and the cars you have for the week. If it is like Daytona Speedway variant then it would be really tough to get a good rank due to the starting glitch. You can be off by 0.15s and in Group F. Having 2 tracks would even things out a lot. That is, unless Daytona Speedway and Indianapolis Speedway on the same week…

Keep the loan function. Also revamp rewards to maybe rewards for everyone in Group E and above. This way, newer level players in dire need of BRL won’t have such a hard time. (but then FM also wants money from BRL IAPs…)

Option to disable ghost
This one might be more controversial than some of my other proposals, since I know a lot of people love them and use them to improve their own times. However, for me, it is sometimes a very big distraction. So it would be helpful if there is an option to do this. Since this one is probably the simplest one to implement, it would also be my most urgent one.

Also read carefully, it is an option, so if you like the ghosts, you can keep them on. I won't mind if the default is On instead of Off.

OMP ghost penalties
Since ghosting would simply destroy the point of defensive driving, I think it would be great if your car is in, say, 20% of the area occupied by the ghost in front of you, you get a penalty. Also, make people invisible when they are occupying an area of a ghost so people can’t purposely brake check in narrow areas.

Increased race payouts
Seriously, with already such a low ROI, you can’t even get a few good paying races in there? I have worked on the most profitable races page before, and there are barely any races from ES in there.

I’m not putting much hope on this one since it looks like that most races, especially Le Mans, are only getting reduced.

Add restrictions
Maybe add restrictions such as maximum 3 seconds off track. Or else, what makes them more exclusive, or "prestigious" than others?

Sandbox mode
This would be a simple concept but probably the hardest to implement. You can pick the cars, up to a maximum of 22 (unless in Nascar) different ones, the track, the number of laps, the conditions (like collision, off track, sliding, none, average speed, etc.), the setting (when in the day). However, you won't get any rewards for racing (since it is sandbox and would be ridiculous if the player can choose that).

You can have fun seeing how many times the FU MP4-X laps the base Targa in 5 laps of Le Mans, or race with other cars that have a similar PR that can’t be done in series. You can also run it by yourself as TT practice. This can be an additional in-app purchase that cost like $40 (with FM’s greed anyways)? But it would be a fresh change to everything else that already exist in the game.

Flashback choices
Maybe once every 2-3 updates the player will have an option to choose the flashback they want to do, in replacement of a random existing one (to make it fair). However, once one is picked, the same one can’t be picked again for a certain period of time.

That’s all I can think of so far. So what do you guys think? Suggestions, reactions, criticisms (as long as there is a reason to support your argument instead of straight up bashing) are all welcome!

P.S. I might make a copy of it on my blog once this thread is on the verge of disapperance :p
