Also which CDs you were using before the current one? The numbers of the game would be correct for the current CD, 5 races with Acceleration/Reliability, then 9 races with a CD Acceleration/Cooling and 6 races with Handling/Reliability and at least one of the former CDs wasn't 5 stars.
The numbers you give don't work, +10 in Acc means it was the strength of a 5 star CD in all races, thus Handling would be 8 too high and not missing points, and Cooling and Reliability can't both be too many points, their average must be close to 45.
Ahhh I understand now, the research for the next season is the sum of the jd I used in the 20 races, I started with a 5-star driving JD, moved to another with 4.5 stars (39.00) in acceleration, and finally the current one with 5 stars in acceleration. It makes sense now, but because I'm missing a couple of points in areas where I've never had a JD, I don't remember what weaknesses they had, but surely they were both among the three, But why am I missing 1 point in braking, aerodynamics, fuel, and tires? Also, having a 39 JD wouldn't that be the second best?? And the difference with those of 40 should be 1 point?? As specified in the rules??
responding to the above

They are exactly the same values, it's just that instead of putting everything as it is, it shows the design points assigned to the car, adding later in green or subtracting in red how many points you have according to the engine, chassis, DTC, etc. The tool just gives that data, but the car is exactly the same since even if you have extra points from the sponsor "elves" for example, it doesn't affect the way of developing, it affects at the final moment of development and I can have 296 acceleration points + a bonus of 4 from the sponsor. Do I make myself clear? But I remember starting with my 5-star driving JD and it seems strange to me that they include more values referencing the 4.5-star one (39.00), and why one point below in the areas of 59 and why a "difference" of 10 points for having used at some point a 2nd better JD in the game, just because it is 39. Wouldn't those values be from a level 30??
