Young Driver's Academy

Quick question: I just reached level 10, and purchased the young driver's academy. Now, am I supposed to choose drivers for that academy, or is it all automatic (until i hire or release them)?

It's automatic. Every time you race it will produce 5 drivers, in which you can either keep them stored in your YDA or you can release them to the public.

You can also purchase the "Expand Young Driver Academy" under rewards (200 reward points) to give you an additional 5 spaces in your YDA, allowing for 10 drivers in total to be produced every race.

Academy produces young drivers like this:

I like the added extra to the YDA... These are the kind of things that should be given as free add-ons to the subscribers. Just like the liveries are..

If they upgrade more things to the YDA, they should think about making them free the Subs members.

Rob, we should hire you as our soliciter :)

LOL

What's that ? she makes 54 per second?

I wonder if anyone can clear this one for me, cause I am in the blur. I have 2 teams with YDA. Everybody is bragging they have a gazillion drivers with 20 talent, but I didn't found A SINGLE ONE in all my racing career, since the YDA was introduced. I switched countries, but all i got is level 1, 5, 13 and so on. So far I got more than 100 drivers in two teams, none of them level 20. Can anyone tell me why ?

I beleive it is random Alin, with an algorithm to make the higher numbers less frequent.

I had my 1st 20 just a couple of days ago

In Romania with have a saying "Tradare, tradare, dar s-o stim si noi", by one of our greatest satire writers. Meaning something like "If your gonna trade me, at least let me know of it" :) So, random, random, but not a single one ?

Get the YDA expansion in the rewards section.

I don't think that's the cause.

I have 2 tallent 20's. 1 in my main team and 1 in my 2nd team.

It did take a while to find them, I have a fully trained tallent 19 and a nearly trained 18.. The tallent 20 has only just come up recently and that is with the extra slots from the rewards.

You might be better to stick to one country all the time, the odds maybe higher. I don't know tbh, but it does seem to be more random than before.


I would like to see more things like the YDA added to iGP. It's a good concept and I like how you have the F2P side and the option of adding to it with rewards (I would perfer it to be free for subscribers.) Ok it can be a bit silly with all the tallent 20's going around now because of how it was set up before, but they won't be around forever, so now that it's more random and less chances of throwing up the tallent 20's. It's a very good concept.

Nice job Andrew and Jack.

Yes but Double the chance to find 1.

Yes, but I don't have 200 reward points.

I've noticed they seem to come in bundles at a time. It's no mystery that I run multiple teams but I have days where I get no 20's on any of my teams and then other days I get a 20 on every team in the same race. Are they released sequentially?

In fact, three different teams in the same race two days ago each got a 20 talent, 19yo male from Sweden. Is it really "coincidence" that I got an identical driver on all 3 teams in one race? They do have different names but I find it hard to believe it's entirely random.

It really isn't a one off. I've noticed for a while that they seem to be released in "batches"

Batches or not, I haven't got one yet. :(
