Manufacturers Era 2026 Edition

Welcome to the mod!
A what-if scenario where the manufacturers took over F1 and ran the series in 2026; what would it look like? Here's what I think it could be like.
Most of the changes below
Teams are ordered based on historical performances through F1's history and painted in colors the companies use

**Intended for medium and long races and open-wheel only!**

All employed drivers set to be 32 years old and will retire between 1-6 years
All starting unemployed drivers are available without the scouting center and their ages are left alone

Rebalanced sponsors

Fuel weight and tire performance changed to allow a bigger variety in strategy, 1 less and even 3 more stops then the competitors are viable now under the right circumstances.

Reblanced the crossover between dry tires and wet weather tires so timing crossovers is more important
Inters now have a tire cliff of 5% and wets 10%

Revised starting rules, banned weightstripping and simultaneous pitstops

Equalized starting engines/gearboxes for all open-wheel teams

Changed the part reset threshold numbers for all open-wheel series. Part resets will on average happen every 4-6 seasons

Pushing the tires and fuel will provide more pace

Tire temps imported from the 'Tires or tyres' mod. Tires can be pushed longer cool faster but will maintain temperature better in most climates

All engine suppiliers changed to be types of engine from V12s to V4s, from rotaries to flat 12s. All other vanilla suppilers are available when building next year's car and balanced to allow variety from high rollers to cost saving car
