GT5 Online Franchise (just a thought)

[bridgepin]

Hello all. Earlier this evening I was finishing up a game in my friend's Madden 10 online franchise and had this thought... "would it be a good idea if GT5 were to implement an online franchise or rather an "online race series?".

Since my thought is more based on Madden 10's online franchise, the online championship would consist of public or private "race series" which consists of qualifiers before a race day, point tracking throughout the season, season standings, team racing/team points, etc. And when you, the manager, create your race series, you can customize it by restricting make & model, perf points restrictions, tracks during the season, etc.

One example would be to create a series that mimics a season of Nascar, Le Mans, WTCC, WRC, FIA GT, etc. What do you guys think? Would this be something you'd like to see? Does this already exist in another console game? I think a lot of people would use an online race series feature; especially if you have a lot of friends to race with.

After playing the college football's online dynasty last year, I really can't believe that every single sports game made doesn't have an online franchise type feature. Me and 5 of my close friends played that game every night from july to march of the next year.

It would be so great if GT5 would implement something like this. The possibilities would be endless. I couldn't even begin to imagine a multi year league with points, salaries, prize money to spend on car upgrades, pit crew hiring, multi car teams, etc. It really amazes me that after as fun as the NCAA game was that they all don't do this.
