My idea was to address a problem which is the paucity of high fame races when you reach higher levels, and how to introduce something new for those players that have reach Legend to have an alternative to the 10-Lap Le Mans Race, without having to create new series, change reward schemes in current content, or kick everything to the Full Upgrade option of ES, or subvert the Career Progression Model or the EC race itself. The game for new players or lower level players isn't broken with regards to fame per race to leveling up. It only starts to get broken when you advance beyond a certain point, and I am trying to make a suggestion that addresses that point. That is my point exactly. You are creating a solution to a problem that only a relatively small amount of players have. There are better alternatives or ways this idea could be made better, that benefit all players without taking anything away from the high-level players. You WILL NOT GET THIS IMPLETENTED in its current form. It's not going to happen if there's no chance for Firemonkeys to profit, and the vast majority of their potential income comes from low-level players. If what you say is true and ad revenue matters more than purchases, then why would you stop the player from using ads to skip service times, and remove the urgency to do that. You need to include low level players and ads if you want the slightest chance of getting this idea added to the game.

You pretty much become a "High" Level player after about two months of daily play, so it is the problem that the vast majority of the players have, and was likely the problem that drove many players from the game. You can get to Supercars Elite in about 2.5 months; less if you ignore NASCAR and Bonus Series. But then you get stuck. Some persevere, most leave.

Also, many of the Legend Category cars are found in lower series.

Most of the SE and LTS cars have been in the Legend Category until recently, so it would encourage participation in SEs and LTEs to completion, especially if the Fame Race for the following week was the SE car. If the Team Event was any indication, very few people have gone for the Aston Martin One-77. Before the game reset my laps, I had run 143 laps as a team of one and was around 750th. You'd expect that rank to be a lot lower if you had a large amount of participation in the SE.

And I think I have already said this three or four times. Mandatory Ad plays at beginning of Race and End of Race before payout, just like real TV. If a player races five times a day, that is 10 ads, and considering some people do not watch ads, that is ten more than than they would have gotten otherwise. I also do not think they would get a lot of pushback from players about the ads given what they would be getting in return.

There is also opportunity to make them sponsored. So each week, or month, the races are sponsored and your car is outfitted with the Sponsor's livery for that period of time.

And if you don't have the car to compete, oh well, same happens with WTTT and OMP. I can remember in the first month or two having none of the cars to participate in the WTTT.
