Training

Those stats weren't reduced to the driver level but the manager level

i have another question:

do drivers age?

No, this doesn't sound strange to me, as i understand the reason. If you would age by regular days at leagues with rare races the driver would litarally die old of age within a season.

So all the training I did for my driver before the switch over was for nothing! im a lower level than nearly everyone in my league (due to not playing this game from 2013 - 2016) so I'll never be able to compete. As other team's drivers age they can simply replace them with another high level high stat driver.
I cant train my drivers above what thay currently are = they will never be competitive
I cant get drivers that are highly rated enough to compete = I will never be competitive

I think this is quite absurd really.

In the old system if you could find a talented driver, then even at a low level eventually over time ud train him enough to be able to compete. But in this system I dont see how its even possible to compete with higher "level cap" players

I only started playing this game again about 2 months ago, but this whole new system makes me think whats the point.

I think training could do with a few more tweaks.

I had this in Pro:


After 3 races in Elite:


I know you are wanting to make it easier for Lower Level Managers to catch up to Higher Level Managers. It just seems to be a little too easy to train up a driver if you are a High Level Manager using a Low Level Driver.

As for the Training it's self:
Can you set it up, so that we can select a specific Skill/Attribute to train rather than a general area?
Giving us the power to create the driver we want rather than having everything equaling 20

Experience & Knowledge - should not be trainable driver should level these up on their own after every season or season and a half.
Morale - should only increase with the level of your facility (untrainable)
