Aah yes, I know you don't agree with those options Marko, and I'd like to see the team boost retained. I'm for a perf reset, I think it could mix up the game somewhat. It would level the playing field I think, a re-start from scratch for everyone, and the previous championship numbers would be retained of course.
However, it is not really wise for me to make public my agenda, and what I would like to see for the series.
I am supposed to be impartial, especially as I have a team on the waiting list and I drive in the series. It is better for me to let everyone else decide, from the choices that we have made available, or from the choices that we have yet to make available as they come to light.
That is the position of the GPGSL, we should make our decisions based on the majority ruling if we decide that it is good for the series based on everyone's input. fe. We may get a 100% vote on team owners not driving, and that vote could see teams withdraw if implemented, but we still have to put the vote out as it promotes discussion on a related issue, getting test drivers into the main series and or actively involving the test drivers on another level.

I have voted in the poll
I do not think you need to change how everything goes. Maybe you just need the top 22 drivers to be "drafted" by the teams in the gpg. Maybe doing this means any seasoned racing drivers need to start with a higher perf than the testers so they have to earn their way into the top 22. I would love to help out, as a novice of the way to mod gp4 i cannot help drastically but i would love to chip in anyway i can. I am determined to learn and i have the whole summer once i finished uni to pick up all the bits andpieces to help in any way i can

Don't get me wrong, the current way the performances work is just fine. It just need to be reset to make other people have as much of a chance every few seasons.
The problem I feel, is that if you were in it from day one or earlier, you will forever reap the rewards until the game is done.
Unless a top driver goes to a new, low perf team. Which doesn't happen.
As it stands, is it any wonder the likes of Matt Houston gets on the podium lol. Or another TSS front grid lockout?
Apart from those ahead from the beginning, will always have that edge, and no matter amount of team boosts or driver boost combos the odds are highly against them working at the right time to come close, let alone overriding higher ranked drivers and teams.
Just my view. It gets a little boring when the same old people are up front, and the same old people finishing back end. Knowing we pretty much won't finish very high, unless there is an attrition or wet race, which balances things much more.
I am not saying do it frequently, but we are going into season 5 now. It is time we did an F1 style new rules shakeup, team perf wise, not drivers.
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

That was because I left TSS who have been on top since season 2

Well, regarding the poll-results at the moment, there's not much that would become changed. And I see the point that the "old" drivers and teams don't want their advantage to get lost, what is pretty natural.
But it isn't very realistic and annoying for others that don't get the chance to become a race-driver at all. As far as I heard until now, there are testers in the series that didn't drive one race at all even though they joined the series in the first season already.
That's why I also think that some changes would be necessary. Mal therefore pointed one good situation out: If the Team Owners would use the driver market and also give testers a chance from time to time, all these changes wouldn't be necessary. But as most of them don't do, there have to be other ways - in my opinion - to make the series a bit more open to anybody

I am just saying the current system is fine.
But after nearly 4 seasons, can't we reset it like it was in the beginning, the same as it has gone on so far, so some new people see their names doing well for a change.
Current system is fine, just repetitive people.

I agree with my teamboss 
but why not use a cut-off system?
I'll explain:
New drivers: 16020,600,16050,600
experience drivers like Philip: 16080,600,16110,600
So we set a cut off, like this:
Cut-Off: 16050,600,16080,600
every driver with skills above the cut-off will get the points of the cut-off
so Philip his performance will be reset to 16050,600,16080,600 at the end of the season
that way experienced drivers will still have an advantage, but it would not be impossible for new drivers to get good results
