Hi all, new to the game, 6 races in and loving it so far. What I want to know is, on the mobile version, when buyong staff is it beneficial to have more than one of each? So if i have 3 CD for example, will it improve my design stats and improve the car faster?

Thanks in advance.

Only one CD, or other staff, can be active at the same time. All other contribute nothing but still receive wage. With CDs it's theoretically possible to boost performance. If you manage to get 2 of the highest possible level (or at least highest rating you can find) with the same weakness, or at least both of them one of the 2 least important stats, but different strengths it's possible to get 2 of the main stats to the cap by activating each CD for about half the races. If it's worth the price tag I don't know, especially since one manager trying this reported the sum of all points remained the same because all not strength and weakness stats dropped to counter the points gained by the second strength, and it's theoretically because most manager in higher levels have a difficult time to find even one good CD.

Jamie.
On occasions I have used multiple CDs and in my opinion it only really works if they're both rated 4.5 or 5 star and both have a good (but different) strength and more importantly a good weakness.
With CDs the star rating is the key factor, the more stars the higher your intital DP at the beginning of the following season. Plus I believe CD star rating and strength/weakness in conjunction with TD star rating also has a bearing on your research strength.
So we want lots of stars, 5 if possible, 4.5 is also good and 4 star is only worth considering if the strength/weakness of the CD is a rarity like Acc/Cool.
The star rating is relative to the difference between your manager level and the level of the member of staff. I.e. if you are level 4 Manager then a CD or TD who is also level 4 will be either 4.5 or 5 star whereas if your manager level were 8 then the same member of staff would only be perhaps 3 star.
Okay so it's important to know that unlike drivers who can be trained, staff level does not change. So as your Manager level naturally rises with experience then the difference between your Manager level and your staff level increases. Because of this the star rating of your staff decreases which results in fewer initial design points the following season and reduced research capability in the current season.
As a newcomer to the game you will really suffer from this because you will be levelling up very quickly.
In my opinion until your rate of change in manager level slows down (maybe 10 or higher) you will be wasting a lot of money if you are continually changing staff in an effort to maintain high star ratings. At this point of your iGP career I suggest you don't employ more than one CD unless you're secretly Bernie Ecclestone or Richard Branson and can afford to throw a lot of real money at the game.
If you want the full lowdown from the most successful manager in iGP have a look at this...
