Building on strategy tool

Since every1 else seems to have abandoned. Mainly looking at analysis of fuel/tyres & the links between setups/driver/car performance with the idea of being able to "build" an ideal strategy and setup [depending on track/race length/weather etc] and also an easier way to change strategy mid-race

Can also discuss driver signing/training, design, merchandise, staff hiring/training, suppliers, and anything else i suppose i've missed out on [or people are interested in]

Fight over a name later once i gauge interest and how far i can take this. Dont want to start too big & end up struggling with too much information at once so looking for 2 or 3 people per tier [rookie,pro,elite]

Basic spreadsheet experience is required [as you will be logging your own information, using googledocuments or excel etc] your information will ONLY be viewable by yourself & me, i will then collate etc and create a main document which will be viewable by the entire group [rookie/pro/elite being seperate groups to start with]

Any questions/interest you can reply below or pm me [if you want to be more secretive]

I'm currently writing a new strategy tool in speadsheet. This one actually calculates tire degradation from previous races (requires manual input)

Currently having an issue with drop down menus, I'd like to click on the name of a track and then it will display in the next cells along the fuel per lap, how many laps, tire degradation on each of the tires etc which I have listed on another tab.

Edit: Finished it, just need to make it more pretty.

OOOOOO! 

Strategy tool looks extremely easy to make as the fuel numbers are given too you before the race. Tyres are a bit of a different story, however. 

Fuel levels given are estimates, and wont be correct. Re-writing a whole new strategy tool that will advise you on setup [for each track/weather conditions] and strategy [fuel/tyre wear based on the track conditions etc] although having looked into it a bit more its looking a lot like a solo project for a number of reasons

- Setups will only be relevent for my drivers
- Tyre/fuel wear will only be accurate if every1 uses 2d in a similar way
- Driver signing / training / commercial / design / suppliers etc i already have most of the information i need

I buildet up a strategy tool in excel for myself. (Only race strategy - setup is too easy to realize that i think there is a need for a tool to find out ...) All strategies are based on my first and second season, so tyre use and fuel calcs are done based on the races i've done before, not by the senseless advices of my technical directors :-) ) If you are interested to see i will share it if you send me your Mailadress e.g. via PM.

OI ! Haven't seen you here, mr. Frost. :)

Hi David, 

I'm not sure I like this 'tool' you're creating here then. Sure, it's a helpful thing to do, but spoonfeeding everybody who's even that little bit curious about the game with developed information and given figures to run by straight off the bat is not going to help with manager retention here in the slightest. 

Sure you mean well, and there are some people who will give you ultra props, but there may be others like myself who want to figure everything out for themselves and find the fun in that, rather than 'know' everything without even saving a bit of data. You'll lose bored managers before they have a chance to become great.

Under the false pretend of being on holiday, David is secretly preparing "The Tool (tm)" :D

Unfortunatly I have been Drunk/Partying it up in Magaluf for a week, and despite coming home yesterday still havent been in a fit state to actually race or even look in the forums, i'll be back on form 2morrow and actually get round to doing something [and replying to pm's i have]

That's the official sory. Here's what happened:

good one Alin :)

am more in shock he didnt end up in jail over there.

 Why not make a guide explaining the fundamentals of building Strategy so everyone has the "Tools" to put 2+2 together themselves?

For the original strategy tool that i then updated

I've actually done very little work on "Area 51" yet, trying to integrate back into a society where u dont sleep all day & party all night :D

Any questions you have regarding what i know/dont know etc feel free to pm me though and i'll answer as best i can

How does the Training/Mech/Design tab works?
