Contract expiration

Two question regarding contracts:

1) I have several staff members which will have expired contracts in a few races (before season is over). What happens after those two races? Do I lose the staff member completely without notice? Or do I get some kind of holding period to potentially hang on to that staff member?.... Allowing me to renew the contract.


2) When the season is over and contracts have expired, what happens then? Same as any contract expiring?

You can renew the contract while they are still employed

Your staff are contracted for a set number of races regardless of season.  You should be getting a notice to renew on the home page - with about 5 races to go I think.
Once the contract expires then that is them gone - but you can probably re-hire them (maybe  this will cost more - i am not sure)
As Eton says - if you want to retain them then renew the contract while you still have them.

I just experienced that the contracts of my drivers expired, I rehired one of them for a much lower payment per race, might be handy!

As long as no other team bought them, you can just rehire them.

You need to pay the fees again for the drivers?

why my driver has 4 races left on contract and i cant renew it it doesnt show the renew button ?????

This happens if you renew a contract before the current one expires.

Say your driver has 3 races left on his contract, and you renew for 5 more races. The page will show 8 races left and you can't renew until three races - the races remaining on the original contract - complete. Basically, you can't have two pending renewals.

You can see your renewal status by going directly to your driver's page, and then clicking the Renew Contract button on top (the left-most of the four). If you can't renew, it will tell you what the current contract is, and what the renewal is.

i though he will leave and dont let me renew his contract , oh thanks god

it says :   is already contracted to you. He has agreed to renew his contract at 826,400 per race for 1 race, when the current contract expires.

@ Ruben - yes, you will need to pay the signing fees again.

@Zekirja - once one of the contracts has expired you will be able to renew again.

When your driver has one race remaining on his contract, you'll be able to renew his contract again.

thanks
