I join this initiative, it seems like a great idea and gives an extra reason to play the game. As things are today, after a couple of races, the game becomes very flat. Related to this, I suggest a system of mechanical breaks, which is related to the level of wear of the car, the engine, etc. and the style of driving. More aggressive, more likely to break the engine or suspension. The same with the wheels, if we stretch too much the change of tires, we should have chances to break a tire.

Interesting discussion but ultimately I don't believe the developers have any intention of adding random events to races and I for one am happy with this.

We already have live weather and this is enough of a challenge. The best managers quickly adjust to the changing conditions and therefore even low level teams that normally race at a disadvantage have the opportunity to grab a surprise win/podium if the manager is on the ball.

I've said it before, if you link breakdowns to the reliability attribute you will see many more breakdowns early in the season when reliability is lower and low level managers/rookies will experience more breakdowns than high level managers. Why?? Well as a L20 manager I receive 20 dp per race to allocate where I want whereas a L14 manager only gets 14. So I can afford to develop the "speed" attributes and still have a few dp left over to assign to reliability. The Lower level manager either concentrates all of his/her dp into "speed" which means they're likely to suffer a failure (and still be slower than me because my DRS & KERS is so much better) or they focus on reliability and get lapped.

There is a reason that some managers tend to get consistently good results, it's because they understand how to maximise performance and play the game well. If mechanical failures and crashes are linked to poor team management it won't affect the top managers, it'll just be another thing they have to consider and manage out.

IMHO, if truly random events are introduced which are absolutely outside of the managers control it is no longer a "Motorsport Management" game, it becomes a lottery and many top managers will leave.
