A season would last X amount of time. Now this style would have teams. Players are responsible for there teams. Recruiting, and manning any third party stuff they want. Each team would have a set number of racers, per division. Now like F1 the team and pilots would be scored separately. So every pilot of a team is trying to help there team and there own personal score. I also pictured to spice things up. Each team from the beginning of the season would pick what chassis they would be racing for that season. This would make it a challenge since you wouldn't be able to switch ships per race. Now each chassis would only get so many teams to use it. I'd like a 1 per 1 chassis rule. If one team has Icaras, then they are Icaras for that season, and so on. Depending how many people are involved the chassis maybe 2 teams can use each chassis.
Now each season would have divisions and junior leagues. But being part of the same team. So you would have Vemon, Flash, Rapier, Phantom (Premier) classes. Guys that are your heavy hitter phantom pilots can't race in the vemon class. They have to pick there division before hand. So no pilot is allowed to race in every division.
Now the season would be short maybe a couple of weeks before a new season begins. Blanking everyone scores and new chassis can be picked. A virtual trophy would be given for the champion pilot, and one for the number one team, and which chassis they used. Seasons would also be a mixture of events. So weapons races, non-weapons races. Single one off events, 4 stage tournaments, reverse tracks. I picture the seasons calendar would be given out, so everyone knows what tracks will be up, and what mode of play. So you could practice that track in between live events. The lower divisions would be using the same schedule.
The biggest problems I found would be, 1. How do you keep track of scoring? 2. How do you enforce chassis per season?
