So what's everybody's predictions for the running order for the 2020 season? Here's my rough guestimates, with a small bit of info to go with them. I'm too lazy to put pictures in, so deal with it.
1 - Mathershaw - Two of the strongest drivers and a lack of pace relative to the leaders this season, combined with Downton's massive investment into 2019, means they will likely be uncontested in a straight fight. 2 - Downton - They'll be solid, but the battle with Franklin this year will have cost them for sure. They will probably recover for a year or two and make another go at the championship after that. 3 - Ingram - They've been towards the midfield this season, but will probably look to replace their outgoing technical partners toward the front, and they certainly have the drivers to do it, with the experienced Mattson, and Vasquez showing a lot of potential. 4 - Lopez - A few seasons of midfield running must mean some healthy looking coffers? We've seen Lopez move forward before, but will they be able to push even further to fight for the top three in 2020? 5 - FIRST - Their performance this season might cost them initially in 2020, but a strong driver lineup will be able to do some of the heavy lifting, with the signing of Hoskins sure to be a new, challenging benchmark for the young Perez. Still midfield runners, but they wont have that extra oomph for the top 3. 6 - Ocelot - They've been absent in recovery for 2019, following their surge to the front in 2018. Their car will be fairly strong but they might suffer from an inexperienced lineup in rookie Zvironas and youngster Hunter Ryan. 7 - Pheonix - Solid midfield runners by this point, I'd expect another standard, respectable showing from them for 2020. Same solid, ever improving lineup, and despite financial turmoil in the public eye, a new (sex themed, apparently) energy drink company should help them stay afloat. 8 - North Star - A strong position for 2019 despite not always having the car to reflect it, they might play the long game financially in 2020 with an average lineup, and probably a decent enough car for semi regular points. Enough to secure decent winnings come the end of the season, anyway. 9 - Lucas - Decent drivers and a fairly strong but not overly invested performance upon their return in 2019, means they might make a solid push for midfield running in 2020. Expect semi regular points. 10 - Cheema - Expect more strong outings from this team in 2020, always making the most of opportune moments in 2019. A strong lineup for 2020 will come at a cost though, so expect limited development. A team I am very excited for! 11 - Westwood - Another returning legacy team, with a history of good in season progress. With a very strong driver lineup likely to do most of the work, they will surely just be aiming to get out of Q1. 12 - Meteor - They've been phenomenal in 2019, but their late season surge in pace will prove detrimental to their 2020 car, I would expect them to spend a season in recovery not too dissimilar to Ocelot in 2019. 13 - Arrow - A completely unknown value, we are all excited to see what they can do. With good drivers available, they will probably be wanting to scope out the field and find their feet in their debut season. 14 - AMR - A quietly absent season in 2019 saw them qualify the least of any team in Q1 except for excelsior, they are definitely playing the long game. Watch out for 2021 however, they'll become a force to be reckoned with. Thanks for reading, it was worth your wait in the server. I own you all

1. Mathershaw - will dominate the season, probably beat some of Downton's 2017 records. Ruiz and Simon will be good to watch.
