Suggested

Ideas

Idea 1 push level gives a different chance of driver error for example
Max push 15%
Medium 10%
Etc, obviously the % is pure guess by me, I think it will add a bit of realism when pushing hard,
You would get a message of screen saying for example Joe blogs ran wide on turn 2 loosing a small amount of time say 1 second.

Idea 2 similar to 1 but with tyres 
50% tyres left give a 15% chance of blow out
30% tyres left give a 20% chance of blow out
Etc,

I believe both these ideas would add an extra element of strategy and realism.
Thanks for reading.

I'm curious to know why people down voted this and thought it was a bad idea? 

Most people, including me, usually don't want more luck in the game. Already quite a bit of it

Because you wouldn't want to lose a race at the last corner because your driver made a mistake, would you?

Isn't that possible in real life? This is a manager sim game... You ever played a football manager game? Players get randomly injured... 

That is true, but as others have suggested. Many people don't want more luck factors in the game. I want to win or lose based on my tactical and strategical "skills", not by being lucky.

Would it not be classed as strategy and skill to make sure you don't have a blow out or off track during high push? Or bad tyres? Its not luck its a risk factor of you want to push to the limits take a chance, of play it safe its all managed by skill and strategy. No luck involved whatsoever 

You can change the word "luck" to "chance" then. You say increased push will increase the likelihood of  a blow out. No I do not like too much of such mechanisms and I think we have enough as it is. 


And for the record, I think it is great that you come up with ideas, I am simply not very fond of this one.

Totally agree with Frank, also, the game would lose a lot of managers over such lost championships, let me explain why:


You talk about football manager games where players get randomly injured. I was heavily into football manager in the past (I mean I won back to back champions league titles with West Brom in FM16) and I can tell you, even when the odds are slightly in your advantage, you will feel as if you’re at a disadvantage as soon as you hit bad luck more then once.

This is why I only play save-able football manager games because you’ll see, it doesn’t seem random when your buy of the season gets injured for 8 weeks in the first or second match of the season.  You’ll think it’s scripted even when it’s not.

What i mean is, the sensation of losing because of bad luck is way stronger then the sensation of winning because of someone else’s bad luck. And that’s gonna be a reason to quit for those with bad luck 

Less players in the game means less money coming in means less devs means poorer game

A bit of realism is good but this is still a game, if you want to realistically build a racing team up, you can do it in real life but you’ll need more money and time

Good feedback I understand where you are coming from but I feel you guys don't really want change im not bad mouthing you here but change is needed and coming like it or not. Once the tyres, drs, clean air ect has been fixed in sure it will balance it out alot more. I do feel strongly about my idea, not because I came up with it simply because I thinks it's a fantastic idea, look at real f1, failures are very common so are mistakes allowing smaller teams to grab some points which is entertaining it will also boost morale to the managers who score poorly which of most quit the game because of this, my idea was just a base idea in sure the % could be a lot smaller or even a completely new way to unpliment this idea. Right now it's so so boring strategy is almost the same every race same for the tyres 

I see your point and how you look at this and, with all due respect, we’ll have to agree to disagree on this ? 


Good to finally see someone with a strong idea but still having respect for feedback against the idea, thats something I don’t see often, so I tip my hat to you sir.

Thabjsbforbthe reply sir, Hope is the most powerful emotion in a person, I remember when I first started in elite fighting for mid table struggling to get points and someone in front ran out of fuel it got me all excited and pumped up for the valuable points on offer, you feel this rush of excitement, that's exactly what this game so desperately needs. Its just finding a way to balance skill and luck factors combined to make it a truly awesome game, its no easy task to balance everything in sure. 

I live in hope one day there will be 5-10 people fighting for 1st place each race, win or loose that's exciting racing,
