MazdaRX8Fan I like your suggestions, this reserve driver concept is happening already by the top teams running several teams. If a team could have 25 or 30 players and only the top 20 scores counted then this would formalise that process. This gives a lot more permutations for organising teams:


 * You have 20 top drivers so you don't run any reserve drivers and increase per-driver rewards
 * You have 25 good drivers to you split a bigger reward over more drivers

I'd be tempted to say that the top 20 drivers get a bigger share of the reward than the bottom 5. It would provide an incentive for them to improve or an incentive to join a team that gives them a better chance of being in the top 20.

I also like the idea that players in a team who don't put in a time, or maybe a minimum set target, don't get a reward. This would protect teams from players that go AWOL if the team is locked during an event.
