Flexible Objectives

would be great to have the chance to change the default objective.

I mean, i won a race, but it was just luck, other manager's mistakes, weather changes or others. The race after, my target is to win again but that's not going to happen.
My bonus for winning that strange race, was the standard bonus. But now, i'm facing something impossible to achieve.

So, i come here with this idea:
If we think the default target (this will not change, still be calculated as today) is not achievable, we should be able to change it, making it more easy. That will also mean the bonus will not be the 100% you have from the sponsor. (not the income, just the bonus changes)
I don't know, this is for Jack to think how much % of the bonus we are going to lose per position. But let's say, you lose 25% bonus to change target -4 positions. (Asked to win changed to 4th or better)

That, will be interesting, because it's important to know well, where your team is, what result you can get.

There is no hurry for this, just to leave it here. I'm having problems with money, who isn't :P but, this is not just asking for more money, i think it's a good challenge.

I have to agree.

The bonus system is a bit unrealistic...

You fluke a race win and then your expect to win your next bunch of races before it resets, and even if you finish 2nd... no dice. At least with the old system it didnt expect both your drivers to win, they had individual targets.

Igen!

kicsit fura ez így!

What he said!

Yeah; however, I think it should go both ways meaning if you want to raise it provided it's not to win you can increase it for more either that or have all three being standard the + or -4 and which ever one is the best of what you achieved based on position is the one you get.

I just wish the old money system came back. Right now you can win a race or races and drill lose money. If you didn't come to the game with hundreds of millions you are in trouble. I am continually going in debt having to use tokens to get more money. Please give a thought to bonus money for top 3 or 5 in points.

But on this idea I think has many merits that can be worked out.

For what I've seen there's no point in chosing sponsors at all, hence the objectives are almost useless too.
For primary sponsor 3 coins + highest bonus between those available with 3 coins is a must, you have the maximum gain, ever. Especially because you can exchange coins for money (3 coins per race equals to about 2.4M, fixed, indipendently from objectives)
On secondary sponsor there's no point in taking anything other then the top right, that is maximum money, minimum bonus.
If you make a quick calculation, in 10 races (the bonus contract) if you miss 1 objective you have lost money, and if you get the chance to get all the 10 objectives the gain is really minimal in the second sponsor selection. Too much hassle, unless you are the only one in your league and always win there's no point in chosing anything else.
I have no suggestions about how to fix it, but how it is now it's not that challenging nor interesting.

Agreed, i think at the moment there is no reward for taking risks. Income + Bonus is almost the same for every sponsor. Risks are too high, and higher after you achieve one.

IDEAS
- (the original first post)
- Bonus should make the difference. (if income=$3 and bonus=$1, other sponsor income=$1 bonus=$5 )
- Let us change the sponsor from race to race without costing us money. So we can choose one with bigger bonus when our car compatibility is high, and choose one with more income and less bonus when compatibility is low.
- Add some bonuses per final position. This is not coming from sponsors, it's coming from IGP. I didn't thought about the system but something like this:
Higher level manager = higher position needed. Bonus amount will be the same for every manager achieving it's own objective. Objective is fixed from the start of the season.
- Drivers with sponsors (this is a crazy one but in real F1 this is happening) Let's say some drivers have huge sponsors supporting them, so hiring one will bring some money per race, or per bonus or in some way. Could be sponsored by Murk, so engines now will cost less.

How about with that idea to keep it from being done so much how about having a level up type thing so if you want to change you can but it goes back to level 1. As for the leveling thing the higher level sponsor gives more money for staying longer so it gives an incentive to stay with certain sponsors rather than keep switching around.

I like those ;)

@Jack, can we have a quick fix here? I think the last race result should not have the importance it has. I mean, you are second on one race, next race you need to win, i don't like that because one race is not enough to say you have the car to win.
How about making an average season results to see what's the objective for next race?

I don't think it's race positions alone that sets the bar. In my first season it quickly went up until it reached 3rd place and better after my first victory but stayed there for the remaining races despite of more victories.

Nonetheless I agree with your ideas, although I'd say you can adjust bonus target and contract length while choosing your sponsor, as you said lower target less bonus and shorter time less base money and more for higher target and longer duration. That way you still have to do some predictions and planning.

Bonus really could use some more weight, there's almost no disadvantage in playing it safe even if you do well in the races.
