I think I know which stats are more important than others (at least most of them), but I think the stats should make more of a difference than they currently do. In my league, my drivers' graphics look a lot better than those of some of the other drivers, and yet their performance seems to be usually equal (even with a similar car)

For example: This is one of my drivers - http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-driver/20701

Compare that to this driver - http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-driver/14015

By the looks of it, you'd probably say that the second driver has better raw speed, but Santiago should be better at everything else, especially being level 14 compared to Hamilton, who is level 11, and yet there is very little difference in performance.

Maybe not having a high mental should increase a driver's rate of health decrease, and attacking to defense ratio should be better. Also, I think setting up the car should be made harder, to make people train the technical. Because even with poor technical stats, it's easy to get to the 'feel good' stage.

Just some suggestions anyway, because it feels like there is little to no benefit in training some attributes.

Do you both have the same suppliers? Engine/Fuel/Tyres.. Since i've not been in your league long enough to spy on every1s cars i couldnt say if [this season] it is coming down to car % etc

Although the spidergraph itself can be misleading for a couple of reasons [As far as i can tell from 4/5 seasons experience]
[list]
[*]2 or 3 of the stats dont effect the graph at all
[*]Mental e.g. has numerous stats that effect it [10+] so having 8 for them all will appear similar to someone who has 18 in 4 stats and 1 for the rest
[/list]
Will comment on the rest when i'm back as i need to nip out

As there are only 3 decent suppliers, I would think that they would be the obvious choices :P. But yes, we do all have the same suppliers. 

I just find it odd that the graph doesn't depict a driver's skill very well. Even if you look at your two drivers, you would immediately say that Hunt looks a lot better, and yet in the 2 races we've done, Hunt has only been better in one, and on the other he was not exactly spectacular.

In reply to above about my drivers... i spent a long time training technical on hunt, and apart from monaco [as you will see as the season progresses] i would severly doubt that he will outqualify Dempsey at any track {even though he has 18 feedback compared to 5} BUT, does this mean that technical is useless, or that if i trained my other driver to 18 feedback he would be even faster than he is currently 

I do think it is too easy to get feels good, but how would you make it harder? since most people already have last season(s) worth of data the only way I can think of would be to change from [0-99] to [0-999] giving a lot more scope for change

Without giving away my stats though a quick comparison shows
[list]
[*]Hunt is BETTER in 8 stats
[*]Dempsey is BETTER in 9 stats
[*]Both SAME in 3 stats
[/list]
And therefore by assumption[its not speed as hunt is 1 point less] one of the other 5 stats must have made him win around monaco

Even though Hunt is a full level ahead [18 points total] in theory he's not as good
