The Pro Series was done totally different. In order to be a Pro, you had to qualify at a previous race as a pro. Intermediate class could have unlimited sponsors, but not have qualified in pro, and Sportsman class was just that, had to have finished out of the top 60% of Intermediate to be considered a sportsman.
Frankly I think there should be a Pro Class, and Sportsman class. If you have ANY sponsorship, you should race pro, end of story. If you are good enough to get a sponsorship, you should be good enough to race the pro division.
I want to run the pro division, just so I don't get hacked all day, winning isn't my biggest things, having fun is, and me getting hacked makes me frustrated, thus meaning no fun. I rather finish 13 laps down to the leader then win but get hacked a whole race.
