motor manufacturers visible

Hi.
I sell my engines to other teams.
I would be happy for this to be recognised.
For example in the team name.
Or in the team profile.
Thank you very much

I can’t this happening.  It’s not real world racing it’s a game and people who play want to choose the name of their own team.  Having the name of your engine supplier enforced into that team name would not necessarily be popular and may even cause character limit issues.

I don't know how you can possibly think this would be successful. To have your engine or team name on your customers' team name would just be catastrophic for the whole engine manufacture system. Even F1 teams don't necessarily include their engine supplier's name in their official name. E.g McLaren Formula 1 Team, Williams Racing, Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team, etc. Plus when I look at your engine supply, I can see there are 5 teams who use your engines and I can also see the names of the teams. Is this not enough recognition?

Think I see what you want, a mention of some sort on a profile page or something.


I for one wouldn’t want this as it takes away a “company secret” of some sort, exposes the engine used to competitors 

I don't understand why the engine manufacterur should be kept a secret. It's not like a GT3 team's car "may be" a Porsche, or a BMW, but we can't see. Or that Aston Martin F1 "MIGHT" be using Ferrari engines.


We are already able to see "Best Teams" relative performance compared to us in car development page, see how fast the opponent's drivers are, see how developed their Headquarters are... Engine supplier kept in secret when everything else is public information does not make sense to me. I think this should change.

Regarding the inclusion of the engine manufacturer's name, it should at least be implemented in, and then be an option to display or not. I'm quite proud and happy with my engine supplier, and I believe they would like my advertisement.

Sorry, José, but you should know that editing the team name takes up a valuable hefty 5 coins. For developed teams that don't have anything else to spend those coins on, they can definitely afford it, but not all players can do the same. It would be much more appreciated if we could add the engine supplier name for free. 

Do you really want your engine supplier's name in your name anyway?

You can.  You just click on a managers profile and click on their engine.  Does it actually matter as they are just made up names 🤷‍♂️. As for incorporating your engine suppliers in your team name you can already do this.  It’s called the edit function,  but to force this  would be a bad move for the game

Hi.
I can well understand your objections.
I also think it's quite simple.
For example, when you go to a team profile. That it is then displayed which engine is used.
It doesn't have to appear anywhere else.
If you look into the future, this would also make sense for the chassis.

It’s already there for custom engines.  You just click on the engine icon.  For stock engines it’s right these are hidden.  This is a strategy game and it’s up to you to choose the right combination based on your development path rather than just copying others.

Yes, but only if you manufacture engines yourself.
My point is that when others drive my engine, this is displayed.

Can you please explain how this is good for the game?

I think his line of thinking is that when a customer team does well in say, Hall of Fame or in a league, players will see that they are using the person's engine and it helps promote the sales of said engines to other players.

Suggestion is not about the manufacturer itself, it’s about the customer. At this point, on the customer manager page, there is no mention of the engine he’s buying/ using and as he’s not manufacturing himself, there’s no engine icon.

I think Vrtex gaming has a point, from a promoting the manufacturer point of view. Also makes sense in chassis manufacturing. Also, if you use stock engine, that’s on your livery so even that engine gets a mention somewhere.

So I wouldn’t mind a mention on profile page but solely on the condition that the manufacturer can decide to show or hide their name on client profile pages.
