Why is my design reversed?

As you can see. I have 96%, the bar is set to next season, yet it keeps releasing design only for this season. At first I'm thinking the bar is somehow the wrong way around, but if that was the case then why has my design only released 1% parts? With a 25% odd car, a design release for this season would release something more like 15-20%, not 1%.

All your parts for next season are at the maximum performance (96%) that your team is capable of achieving. When that happens you stop getting upgrades.

You're better off switching design fully to your current season until your designs roll over to 9A.

Train design after each race 4 more times then ur max will increase to 100%

Only 83 designers?

So what limits your design maximum then? Designer skill level or something?

Your designer skill level and the level of you chief designer

Why?

83 designers is fine if your a level 8 and have the wind tunnel and test rig. Well it wud be if you do the design properly and dont run 100% one season the 1% the next.

I usually use 105 designers with profit, +80% condition on all components, and I always get a 100% by the end of the season with a 40-60% for next season.

When are you going to do something about the guy(s) who constantly league hop while keeping their 100% car? (You know who you are.)

and how do you repair two cars for next race?
