So if I find ish way down in a rookie league or finish 1st,2nd in pro I get the same amount of prize money?? Is this going to be fixed? Because that kinda a deal breaker for me, doesn't make sense what's the point of trying to win races if you don't get any more money

Winnings are fixed to the sponsors you have chosen you will need to use tokens to buy more money when you need it.

Manage your team and budgets. There is a great verity of sponsors with different payouts that should cover all angles but be weary as it means getting objectives to reap rewards.

James i see you on the forums alot so im gonna ask you seeing as i assume youve been around a while.. I just dont understand the payout as is the question here.. Why is it that you dont get prize money for placing in the races? I mean you are a team owner and in life team owners make more as they place better.. Why os it dictated by sponsors when sponsors are "supplementle" income if you will... Plus i o
Would think you would get a payout at the end of season depending on where you place.. Maybe it has been answered and you know the answer?!

It's been asked before, I have seen the answer & I cant remember the answer.

But you should understand it's a game and everything is set the way it is so that it is fair, if someone was winning always and earning extra money over someone that was always finishing last that wouldn't be very fair, as they would continuously spend all their tokens on bailouts buying investments instead of things they really need them for.

Everyone is equal, as you level up, sponsor money increases & research power weakens. Staff wages are low in small levels and high in big levels it all balances out.

I do see the point of fairness.. I guess I'M more into realistism than fairness lol

I find it to be unfair that the person in last place can be earning more money then me. Sponsors should be earned depending race performances throughout your career and prize money should be given by position how is that fair that someone that isn't even logging in to play is making more money then me. I find alot of people in the league's aren't even active.

I think a great idea would be to have fee's to enter a season. The fee that you pay would would be won back during the season and bonus money would be payed out by the league for scoring points.

The entry fee could be either divided up by the number of races in each season and won back race by race if you are not active for the race you don't earn your money back. Or it could be give as a front and you would have to participate in a minimum number of races to earn it back.

This may just be a game but it is a game based on formula one the more similar it is to real life the more people will participate. It's only fair that if someone that has been playing longer and is better at the game and has better results should earn more money otherwise what's the point of playing?? If I do good I want to be rewarded for my success not just have base salary that is chosen and doesn't change based on winner races or championships.

If you link prize money to tier and results you might just end up with realism and regret it. Winning teams earn more prize money, more money to invest means more success means more prize money. Before you know it a few very rich teams could become absolutely dominant and other teams would find it almost impossible to break the cycle.
I do like Adam's idea of incentivising players to manage their teams by charging an entry fee then recouping this expenditure with a setup / attendance bonus.
Maybe partial pay out for setting cars up and assigning a strategy and a further payment for managers attending the race.

But you can't buy car stats with money or coins, they only help you buy facility upgrades at your headquarters and the upgrades take time. Right now I have about 54m and finishing on the podium every race in pro and losing money every race. If had 200m that wouldn't change anything I'm doing I'd still only be able to upgrade one facility at a time at my headquarters and I'd still have to wait the same amount of time for them to progress. It would allow me to spend more money on staff and driver but if my driver stars are already maxed out for my level then there is no point. I think the game has a an issues overall by try to keep things to even. That is what the different leagues are for are they not?? When your team get to dominant you upgrade to pro or expert. Also there is caps on car stats in place aswell to keep teams from becoming to dominant in there division.

I feel like this game has alot of potential to be a really good game. I realize it's still in beta but I don't know if it's going to catch on very well unless it starts leaning towards being more realistic instead of trying to keep things even or "fair"

Once all the building work is out of the way then we would hit problems cause nothing to spend the money on, I have only done 7 races so far this season.

Lose money building but if you let the time run out instead of speeding it up you are making money

I do see his point with all the caps and ballists.. It makes no sense to keep the game fair in all aspects when there are ways already set up to keep it fair as far as the races go..

Hi Adam. There is more to it than upgrading facilities. As you say, at the moment you are finishing on the podium every race and are still losing money. To prevent you from spiralling into debt you will presumably be converting a proportion of your sponsor tokens into cash. Imagine that you had much more money for wages and as a further bonus you didn't have to waste tokens to keep you out of debt...
You could afford wages for much better drivers and back room staff.
You could afford to have multiple CDs and reserve drivers
You will find that even hiring drivers from your youth academy is hugely expensive and then you have to pay their wages as reserves whilst you train them.
Training can be accelerated by using the tokens you save by not converting them to cash (don't forget your drivers can be trained right up to 20 no matter what Manager level you are at).
You would have more tokens available to purchase engines and parts.
Tokens can be used to accelerate the building of your facilities.
A combination of these benefits will help teams stay ahead of the competition and make it much more difficult for newer managers to break the dominance of the top teams which will be more evident to you when you promote to Elite.
In principle I welcome your prize money proposal because it would certainly help me. In old iGP it was easy to build a war chest of hundreds of millions of pounds, this money was migrated to the new game last year which means that many of the managers who have been here for over a year probably still have a huge bank balance which is one of the reasons they are so successful.
