FOM Car Idea Box

[TurkeySloth2107 77]

As a few people have posted their ideas about the FOM car (henceforth "MyCar") since its intro to TT mode, I figured creating an idea box topc about it (and possibly having the topic stickied) would be a good idea to get a discussion in which everyone can post ideas going. I'll start this off with the ideas about it from a topic I created a month ago and a few I've had since. As I've stated this topic's meant for discussion, not just throwing ideas at the wall, it may go better in F1 Chat and can be moved at a mod's discretion.

1. This is, actually, @Sir_Overtakesalot's idea, but I included something below that dovetails it into this topic. MyCar should be in GP mode as well.
1a. If possible, I'd like to see the team's name on the GP and TT select screens after someone's created a team using MyCar, rather than the current "CUSTOM TEAM"
2. As MyCar's now available in solo and split screen—as it should be from the beginning in future entries, I think the nomenclature should be updatd to something like "MyCar".
3. Asking for MyCar to have its own chassis is, probably, much too ambitious due to licensing issues, but I think it'd be a lovely addition to the series because having, effectively, two Mercedeses in the game is slightly annoying. Granted, I took to MyCar much better than the Merc, itself.
4. MyCar may already use the engine from MyTeam after a team's creation, but, if it doesn't, I think it'd be a nice touch because, after all, its meant to be that car.

I may be mistaken, but this is already halfway done - pretty sure in the car select screen for TT, the team badge for the car is your MyTeam badge?

You're not mistaken as the badge is on the select screen. But, "custom team" appears where we see official team names, such as Haas F1 Team.

Cool, I did remember thinking it was a nice touch when I noticed it. 
 

Surely the “custom team” bit was an oversight & will get sorted in the next update

I hope so as well.

This is more of me jumping on a bandwagon, but we should be able to change the color of MyCar's number. This one's fairly easy to accomplish by just making the number an adjustable portion of the livery.

@BarryBL, are any of these likely to happen?
