Good to see the team took the opportunity to relax and not finish in the top 100 for once ;-). Top effort by the early runners. This was probably one of the "easiest" endurance style challenges in that you had instant service, no team players in the way and no need to win. My biggest problem is that I slowed the bots down, ran a few races and then it crashed. Eventually I gave up slowing down and just raced fast bots, cost me about 10 overtakes per turn. That and a family crisis on whatsapp stopped me being up with the top guys..

I'm all for the idea of a second team that is both self managed (you can nominate to sit out an event by transfering to the second team) and where the boss can also demote players if they are consistently performing poorly. That way the top team always has 20 active players and should always place top 100. I like the idea that high contributing players can take a rest and still stay in the main team but that obviously has to take into account the impact on rewards in some races.

The boss gets to decide who to promote back up if there are more than 20 players wanting to take part in an event. I suggest that is a combination of past performance, amount of time they can contribute and skills/garage for a particular event (e.g. fully upgraded cars for a top speed event).

All of this will weaken the team spirit a little but as long as it about enabling people not to feel pressure to race every time and to ensure the team does well for the people who can contribute then it should be fine.
