Finances: The finances have changed a lot in the new update. Currently, I am spending $1.87m dollars in Driver/Staff contracts alone, while I have chosen 5 Tokens ($5m if i convert) and $1.7m as my main sponsorship deals, I do however fear that i could begin to lose money, especially as I need to pay for new facilities to be built in the Headquarters among other things. (I have plenty of money in the kitty so I won't have much of a problem for now, but it seems that I am spending too much with not the best income)
Headquarters: Furthermore with the facilities, I am going to have to wait for a very long time before I can get much progress without spending real money for tokens to build the facilities faster. I know this game is a journey, and not a 'win from the start' game, it just seems a little tedious. (I have no idea if I would be able to keep up with repairing my car because of the slow intake of parts)
Car Development: It seems that I can't upgrade my car. For some reason it just shows NaN, and when I try to change the values when I click the plus button, it changes to {{acceleration}} for acceleration and {{fuel_economy}} for fuel economy and so on, without reducing the points that I have.
P.S. I played the beta for 2-3 weeks when it was launched, so I am not too familiar with what had changed since then, so if you could please respond with solutions that would be perfect.

Your team has no designs Paul, that's a bug. I will see if I can apply a patch for this now by looping through all teams who have the same problem and updating them.

As for car development I do have some concerns. In my main team I had a level cap of 23 for the car design and assuming it might involve the talent attribute of the CD, I hired one with a higher talent level. Still lvl23 so no result.
After that I checked one of my junior teams which is existing for way shorter and it has a level cap for car design of 27. I noticed the CD has a red 5 star rating so that must be it to look out for.
Sadly, there are no high leveled CD to be found on the market so there's not much possibilities to do so or does this have to do with the facilities? If not then there's a but challenge to get a proper car design going.
Just trying to figure things out as there's just 3 races to go for my season and I'm in the leading position.

My Monaco Yacht Club team has a design level cap of 76. In practice so far I'm 0.29s faster on Softs than other teams on SuperSofts.

Now I am getting really confused as I see my CD in my main team has a rating of 15 which aparently results in a level cap of 23 while another junior team has a CD with a rating of 9 and a level cap of 27.
How is this level cap determined because it's very very confusing.

As I said in another thread, balancing is going to be a big topic over the next couple of weeks at least. This is a totally unnatural situation thrown in to this game, which could not be reproduced if it was starting from scratch.
We have an old system coming in to a new system, and it's going to take some admin intervention most likely to balance it out.
Tjerk, that doesn't sound right, I will look in to that later. Can you send me a link to the two team / user profiles so I can see for myself and debug it?

Ok... so basically this can screw a potential championship if my competitors have a higher level cap for car design while being at the same kind of manager rating ...
Edit, I will do so Jack.

@Paul - your issue with design should be fixed now. Just looped through all teams and corrected any affected by this.
Tjerk Korving medal 5000 8 years 89 days ago
@Jack, I just sent you a message with the requested user profile links.
Jack Basford medal 6098 CEO & CTO 8 years 89 days ago
Thanks, I'll look later, got some more pressing things to work on atm.
Paul Angelkoski medal 5000 8 years 89 days ago
Thanks Jack, working perfectly now.
