whats happens when you run out of health in a race ?
Sebastian Keijmel medal 5000 12 years 285 days ago
hmm wierd during the race it went down to 40% and now per laps its using 0% even while pushing hard

Same thing is happening to me, must be a game bug.
EDIT: Nevermind.

They should make it so the driver dies and crashes his/her car possibly taking others with him.

We could make a little grave stone appear where the car stopped, like so:
Seriously though, nothing happens. It just means the driver is physically exhausted.

Hope it won't happen like in Dale Earnhardt's case.

I am assuming this is something that will be developed then?
If a driver is exhaused then he is likely to cause a major crash, or was Sebastian's driver still driving with 0% health?
Jack - the health /doctor aspect is to be developed right?
Which I hope means that the more tired the driver the poorer are his decisions, so he makes errors in when to fuel etc?

Maybe it should be that the driver retires like Justin Wilson did when it was his first season in F1.

We should hire a healer :D

Jake - that's already the case in a few ways. Drivers with low health do not perform as well as they could.
Jake Goodhall medal 5000 12 years 282 days ago
Thanks for that Andrew.
Could this be a factor in why some managers complain about their drivers pitting when they shouldn't?
Are they low on health and making bad decisions?
It is really quite interesting the variations there are in this game - and lots of parameters that managers don't take into account.

lol
When I read the topic "whats happens when you run out of health in a race ?" I also thought: Well, if one ran out of health means that he dies. Its as simple as that.
Give us the gravestone!

This was a rhetorical question - I do not expect a reply from the devs as I expect these types of parameters to add 'unpredictability' to the game.

I'd rather believe that this is rubbish.
I mean: Who would not train a driver with a health of 30% for example?
What would you do, when you are half dead? Drive a F1-car?
A driver running out of health is a driver to be trained physically. Period.
I for example can do what I can do the best only, when I am fit enough. Maybe that's why the "health"-property is standing above all.
Whats a workrate of 15 worth, when you are about to die?
I assume, that anything goes up, if you aren't ill, rotten or dead. The fitter, the more powerful, the more being able to act on the edge and to call all of your abilities the best you can.
Doesn't that sound too logical to ignore? ;-)

In other words: Who cares, if such a driver pits early, when his abilities are anyway much beyond what he could do? If he is slow, tired, phantasizing and bosseyed, I wouldn't mind if he's pitting any three laps, as he is anyway much slower than he could be.
