This feature that you're suggesting is not related to progression but hindered by it. You cannot segregate the player base in a free-to-play game. That is what this will do. There is no harm to allowing multiple cars to allow lower level players to participate, and it will make it more viable from the developer's perspective. It's a win-win. Then tie the car to a Get-It-Now Sale. If players who haven't made it to Legend yet want to plunk down 900 to 1500 gold and then the cost of upgrades to compete, then that is their call. That is ridiculous and you know it. I really don't understand what you have against allowing lower level cars alongside higher level ones. The lack of chance to win and therefore lower payouts makes up for it

Your argument holds no logic with the reality of the game.

I'm level 210. In the current WTTT I have 3 tier 2 cars and a tier 3 car. I have over BRL60MM, and only the 2014 919 left as a car that can be bought for BRL.

I don't need more BRL. Most players above level 125 don't need BRL, however you seem to think that is a Reward. And all players get to compete for rewards? If you only have the 4 Amateur Category cars you get, what, BRL10,000 for 100% group L? If you are fully upgraded, maybe your are Group J and make BRL30K. That is an illussion of participation and reward. I have stopped running the 10-Lap Le Mans race if there is a First Race of the Day BRL bonus.

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.

The BMW Z4, NASCAR or Ferrari Races are reasonable for lower level drivers. Their focus should be progression through Master's and Elite to get to Legend. Until Supercars was introduced, you only needed to start to worry about large amounts of gold once you got to Legend and needed lots of gold to advance in career or wanted to started to want to pick up the Bonus Series cars, or you were a NASCAR fanatic.

And if you are a new or low level player and want to be able to take part in the SEs and LTSs, then the Ad system works; it can at times be annoying and time consuming, but it works. I was gold positive in 5.5.0, even though I only had the Venom GT in the garage and did minimal Le Mans farming. A good percentage of that came from ads.

I am projecting that this release will be even better, as I am already back to where I was at the start ot 5.6, have won the Boxter and the One-77 and already have the Mustang and the two BMW's on FB. However if I want to get beyond Zenith Series and take advantage of the showcases, then I need to farm a lot more, and I would like an alternative to Le Mans.
