Downgrading, Upgrading staff members in between races

On a daily league, I use this "trick" that eliminates that tricky balance between number of designers and mechanics/engineers. BUT. Does it affect anything?

Before new parts come in, I upgrade all my staff to 197 designers. New parts arrive, race is at 22 PM, I upgrade my mechs/enginers to whatever I need. And so on. 

Does this in any way incurr soem kind of penalty or sometin? 

I used to use that method when I was new to iGP, however you will notice that everytime you reduce the number of staff in a section so they become support staff you have to pay them a kind of redundancy compensation so you will find as you become more experienced in the game you cannot afford to pay this due to having to pay higher wages for drivers.

As Harley said you are just spending money you have no need to spend. That's the penalty you are incurring! :|

This shows the number of staff you need for the cars. Half the amount for single car teams. ;)


Now you have a choice! Either 83 designers or 60? Depends if you use Commerce or not!



But It's you're team & your money so it is very much up to you what way you run it. :)

There is no right or wrong way, until you get bankrupt! :D

Ooooh, that's the catch. I didn't bother once go to economy section, as I am still going strong with 84 milions, and increasing. Didn't analyize that part.

Thanks guys! 

Umm I get 6 million each race from sponsors and I only spend 4 million per race, so I have plenty of money. $566,614,382 to be exact.

Currently my team costs me 6,799,900 per race & I still make money.

Weird, my second team sometimes forgets to use sponsors, has wasted driver signing money and has only raced for about 110 races, but it has 315M already.

That's what I'm saying. After level 5 you start making money really easily, now that you are mostly done with buying facilities. 

I also found that you can hire drivers and staff at 50% of the suggested price with 6/10 relationship. I haven't dared to try a lower price yet...
