All stats play a part in driver speed and performance. The main bit I don't understand is do you want tall or short drivers? Or does height do nothing?

As far as I know height means nothing so don't worry about it! :D

Thanks Adam! Now I have something to test.

There isn't enough conclusive evidence accumulated to know what height affects, even after over 5 years of gameplay taking place on iGP Manager.

James Greer may have an answer though.

I think it can affect...let me explain...
Higher is the pilot more it weighs...and weight affect results...

Exemple....
Pilot 1:
Height 1.80
Weight 78 kg

Pilot 2:
Height 1.70
Weight 68 kg

So, pilot 2 will be ever about 10kg lighter then pilot 1

As the difference between a high pilot and low pilot can also reach 20 kg you must prefer low pilot, so 20kg more is a lot....think like you have 20 liter more fuel...is about 20kg...and you can have 2 seconds difference in a lap for this

This is irrelevant (nor does it even matter) as a driver whose height is 1.8m can be trained down to 51kg and so can a driver whose height is 1.7m.

Some people are thinking about height way too much. Like I said, don't worry about it! Just bother about what you can train

The prefered setup height/wing will be different for different height drivers. If we assume each track has one hidden optimal setup (constant best track setup) then the the height of the driver will determine how close is his prefered setup to that hidden optimal setup for each track. Note that this is based only on assumption. All of this wont matter unless you know each track optimal setup and plan to run many drivers in your team to cover all tracks optimal setups.

I don't believe this is true either, because my two drivers have the same height pretty much but completely different strats. In another team that I have each driver is 3 cm apart from each other but have the exact same strat. They also have completely different strats to this team's drivers' even though all of the drivers are only separated by 6 cm in terms of height...

height doesn't matter at all please disregard it!

Sure, but it will take more time to reach same weight..

True, but considering training time overall it doesn't really matter. It makes sense if you have 2 candidates of same age and talent to choose from anyway to take the one weighting less but it isn't worth spending any token to look for someone weighting less.
