The 2020 Formula Virtual season is set to see some rules changes in regards to the finance and development of the car. The Formula Virtual Association announced three key rules changes for 2020 to the public after months of internal discussion.
The first rule change announced was that teams will no longer have access to race winnings from the 2020 season, which means they won't be able to rely on good races to access that effectively free couple development points. Since the financial systems introduction to Formula Virtual back in 2014, the race winnings teams receive after each race have played a big part in their finances and have varied across years. The FVA continued to announce their next rule change. The amount of development points a team can pend per race on their current car will be increased for 2020. In 2018 the cap was three, while this year it was extended to four. In 2020 teams can spend six development points on their current car per race. The price will remain at 200,000 thousand each. The final and perhaps most controversial rule change is that after a certain point, the more development that goes onto a car, the less effect it will have. As of now, once a team reaches 40 development points on either their current of next season car, and in either ability area, the performance a single development point contributes will be halved. This will not effect the current 2019 season however. Only development for 2020 cars and beyond will be effected by this change.
