Hi Jack,

Just wondering are their any plans to review the financing in the game?

I know I, like many are losing a lot of money very quick. Yesterday, having bought no facilities or signed no drivers etc, I lost over 3million. This was with finishing 1st and 3rd in my race. I cant see to see what my objectives were to get my sponsor bonus, but I would expect that would have been close!

If I did get my bonus, then I would have lost a lot more, and if I didn't earn my bonus, it wouldn't have been more then 3mil I dont think?

The secret is to have over $1 billion and not care.

Race objectives payout is the bonus amount in the sponsors. That why you need to select your sponsors wisely.

Funny thought, this is not possible to see the race objective before the end of the race ^^

Basically all wages are pretty high, also for new staff. Since you can only bid and don't see and can't control the salary you will end up with high wages no matter what.

Getting some tokens is quite usefull but if you want more than 1, you'll probably loose money every race as the sponsorship money then isn't high enough. Certainly not high enough if you don't make your objectives which as Joey says you can't see. :)

We tried to make it so that the sponsors either pay out enough cash or enough tokens to keep the team afloat (one or the other). But if the balance is off then we can refine it.

I think the sponsor payouts needed work, as someone pointed out before, the high end doesn't pay enough bonus for it to make sense to use them since "overall" payout is the same. So it always makes sense atm to go with the best income.

I think it was Andreas who pointed that out in beta.

why not bring back 2 more spot for sponsor like the old one (Engine, Sidepod, Front Wing, Rear Wing)?
currently we had 2 spot.. Engine+Sidepod & Front+Rear Wing.

In the old game it was too easy to get money, but now, I'm glad I have a little reserve!

i am no fan of the token system, i can not do much with the current system as some of the decisions are locked pretty much behind this wall, for example i can't bid for a staff member if i don't have a token and it would take 15 tokens from 15 races to get a driver from the scout. i will say this, i missed the old site but if the intention is to keep this then i will adapt around it but some things are just going to take a lot longer to get right.

That depends which sponsor you pick, Jason. The top ones give out 3 tokens per race. We're also going to be adding in some of the old Reward Points style features like earning Tokens for referring friends and so on.

All this comes under our "one thing at a time" rule though. :P

Yup, but i realized a bit late on the sponsor thing when i restarted up almost a week ago that the one i want is the opposite end on the list, so in about half a dozen races i can sign one of these sponsors with more tokens.

i would enjoy seeing more options for tokens so everyone can get in on it when you can get to it. :)

My Finance Department looks like it's on holidays.
I have bought two staff members and sold one in auction but there is no info of anything today.
