Not another guide

Within the great ocean of forum posts there are very complete guides to understand the game. However, I will make a post in a slightly different way, in my style.
 
First of all you have to understand that this game is quite complex (even if it doesn't seem so). Many come believing that they will play an arcade game and it's not like that... Hey! If you're new to the game and you came looking for that here, let me tell you that you won't find it here, because here if you don't put to work the brain mass I assure you that you'll get to old trying to win a championship. The game is about analysis, understanding, common sense and above all patience. If you want to win your first race in the game, miracles exist, but here they are not very common.

Well, that's what we came here for. Something fundamental in any team is the economic part and unless you have Lawrence Stroll investing in your team, it's better that you avoid to make unnecessary expenses, because you'll need money to develop the headquarter and to survive in the game. The best way to start is to work with the pilots who give the game by default because they get paid very little, although if you start with a pilot over 30 years is better to go looking for replacement, because the older the training will be slower. In that case it would be better to look at what's on the market. You sell the old one and keep the new one. Be careful to always be aware of selling the pilot or staff you do not need, because sometimes we forget to sell or auction and that additional staff continues to charge us salaries which obviously affects the economy. Personally I recommend to avoid buying staff every time you raise the level, because while it is true that the staff is better to have 5 or 4 ½ stars, when you start you raise the level easy and the staff will become obsolete quickly. Keep in mind that if your pilots are in red stars the doctor is not necessary, therefore you can let their contract expire, the game will give you one by default that will only charge you 50K and save you a lot of money. Now, if you want to always be at the forefront, don't pay any attention to what I tell you and update personnel at all times, at your own risk. Try to develop as soon as you can the academy of pilots, so you hire quarry pilots and avoid paying very high salaries of what you buy in the market.

As for the sponsors (which you select in the Finance option) in particular I recommend in principle to use Thomas Hillfinger as main sponsor and WTF1 as secondary, that way you will earn more money by meeting objectives and if you don't meet them, at least the loss will be better. When you are at a level higher than 12 and you have academy pilots that save you salaries it is better to have as main sponsor Red Balls and secondary WTF1. Remember that the secondary sponsor must always be WTF1, in such a case, only the main sponsor changes.

All the above will help you to have a good economy that allows you to develop the headquarter constantly without the karma of having to wait to have money to develop it. After reading this it is strictly forbidden to have funds below 10M and even worse, to reach the dreaded red numbers.

This story will continue...

Strongly disagree on the sponsorpart.

I liked the way you explained about patience, it is truth that someone starting today won't be a championship in 17 races, unless this person starts on a new League.

About the sponsor, I think you forgot to say that it's also important raise up your token wallet, so I would recommend the use of iRacing (best token + bonus available) and for the second one, it doesn't necessary have to be WTF1 , because iGP objectives will fit to the current team capabilities, so it's possible to choose a sponsor with higher bonus.

Strongly agree on the sponsorpart

Tokens buy everything.
From drivers n staff, to time (dont waste tokens on time) n cash.
85 tokens buy me 137m after 29 races.

AMEN! HIGHEST TOKENS & HIGHEST INCOME. Bonuses are simply not worth worrying about it.

Thank god its not another guide.
U wouldve given everyone some bad advice.

What I posted was based on what I learned from my experience, it doesn't mean it's the Bible. It's my opinion, which may seem good to some and not to others. Maybe you know a lot Bo and you should write a book, which doesn't give you the right to demerit my post that way.

Its just, i had the exact same argument on sponsors in league chat, 
and coincidentally u posted this the same day i got burned in league chat for it.
Now i dont believe in luck or coincidence sooo.....
U go connect some coincidental dots.

Im just happy im not the only one who 'prefers' iracing due to it making way more money than any sponsor can.

And im not gonna write a book, simply because i dont know everything.
And i can only encourage everyone who doesnt know everything to not give advice on subjects they know not everything of.
I mean,.. my butchers advice is worthless if i wanna learn how to bake a bread

Maybe u should try more different possibilities before 'speaking from experience'.
Meanwhile ill be here continueing my fight against bad information.

Im really sorry u cant take criticism.

 When the drivers are with red stars the only thing that can make them training faster is the doctor...

Thank god this is not another guide.

U couldve given everyone some bad advice.

Absolute nonsense. Once a driver is red, his/her progress can only be increased by 3% regardless if you have 1 star or 5 star Doctor. This statement just proves that having a very high Rep does not mean you know what you're doing :)

Hes not right.
'The doctor' is not going to do anything. Hes busy driving motorcycles.
Everyone has a doctor from the start of the game.
If he wants to be at least a bit right he should make it clear that only a higher star doctor can do this.

Then again.... even if u have a 5 star doctor when red..
The situation is no different from being yellow stars with a 1 or 5 star doctor, except for the numbers being astronomically bigger.

Over a season you would pay (depending on your level) around 12m with a 5star to increase your driver ca. 1.5 point of skill extra over a 1star doctor, while waiting for the level up saves u a load of cash and u can get that same amount in 2 days after u level.

Now if that aint bad advice.............

He is wrong Frank. He was talking about when the driver is red. When the driver is red level then it does not matter as to what star the Doctor is from 1 star to 5 star, the driver's progression will only be 3%.

Dont attack Frank! Frank is right on the mathematical part. The 5 star doctor will increase the amount of trainingtimes.
Even tho every click still does 3%, a five star doctor will give u a couple more clicks out of the 100% health.

So in this case, Ali, u are wrong.

Yes I misread. Frank is correct, however is that 9% which is 1/11 of the progress bar per day really worth paying the Doctor for?



I stand corrected, however like I just said above, is it really worth it?

So no, it is not worth it.

If only all of your posts were like this.. that is indeed good statistics and advice, something most dont even care to think about, but it is. Please make more helpful posts like this in regards to all aspects. You will be seen more favourably for doing so rather than looked upon like a troll.


In regards to iRacing, anyone who doesnt use iRacing is rather silly.

per token you can earn up to 1.29mil. that means the 3 tokens compared to the 1 token is worth 2.58mil. Plus you can use for other things, if necessery (like buying engines)

I dont see any other sponsor giving that much cash away (could be wrong though, i havent checked the other sponsor options for primary in a while.
