Okay, so what about revisiting my idea about using top crews as the decider and adding exp bonuses to 2nd and 3rd?
That way you don't have as much of a disadvantage and people would try harder in my opinion because they wouldn't always be on the outside looking in. The experience bonus isn't the end of the world btw, when I joined Victory Lane I had already caught most of them by myself without the bonus, granted it took longer with a lot more races won but it's doable.
If they move the exp bonus to top 3 teams it still promotes spending, but it also promotes the teams working together, leveling, working and getting the crew cars into the races sooner and staying in longer.
1st place crew gets 2x
2nd place crew gets 1.75x
3rd place crew gets 1.5x
That way even the crews that are 4th and down are still within range of keeping up with 3rd, giving them an incentive to race hard as well the mindset would become, if we can catch 3rd then 2nd doesn't have as big an advantage... etc. Since Crew placement is based on CBR it still promotes spending, so the company wins as well.
Couldn't agree more with this statement, his crew showed a lot of guts and should be respected for that.

he didn't have crew wins, or hard spenders, meaning he didn't have double EXP all round, but he still kept going..
props to him, we need more cjw's!!
