Hello all!
I have been playing iGP for nearly a year now and I have never had this problem before. I am getting very bad performance for next season. Even with a level 9 deisgner, wind tunnel and a test rig I am getting +2% also with the settings of my wind tunnel and test rig set to high testing time.
Nick, did you have a highly designed car last season?
If so, the game actively penalises you the following season.
From the rules:
Section 2 Technical, 2.1 Car design....
"Next season gains are based on current season performance levels
When a team focuses a lot of energy on one season it has a negative impact on the next. This prevents a team from ever becoming unstoppable"
I know it would be dull to have the same team winning every season, but does this game mechanic mean that in a competitive league, there's no chance to emulate the consecutive multiple title successes of real world drivers such as Schumacher and Vettel?
