Research impacts now scale with manager level

same designer all every season no changing, you will see if you get a higher or lower car design based on your finishing position.
If your able can you look at my car design levels for Australia and see if there is any differences in the car levels.
Cars have changed from talent building to star building I think now, so there is only season 40 & 41 to compare the car levels, then seasons 41 & 42 to see what changes have made. Current season is 43

just take the losing.. the race is also about strategy.. maybe he is just good?

lol I'm not complaining about losing.
I get 14 design points per race, I'm level 19.

here is my car with 2 races to go:


It's about balancing, should be hard to get the perfect car not easy.

I'm looking forward to next season as I have another design path to look at.

This mailing system is handy for tracking research progress










Only 20points shy of a picnic basket for the last race of the season, excitement is building for the next season 44.

Same CD all I changed was the suppliers, the TD and DR

This New season 44 car


Previous Season just finished 43 car


Research


Are we sure this is just a myth?

maybe was changed to make reaching 100% more complicated?

Research should throw out less design points in this season to slow down development of my the car.
I'm expecting around 27max if I lucky as I have only a 3star Research Facility (CD 4&half + TD 1&half stars)

The day this forum was made I got 28 with 4&half star Facility (CD 4&half + TD 5 stars)
Jack as tweak it a little since then, so it will be an interesting season.

As for the Myth above, it's nothing to do with Research.
It's the starting base of teams, I think it's giving out higher or lower designed cars based on finishing position.

think I might need to hire a betterTD
Lots better looking in terms of not maxing out cars

Hi i am racing at everyday50
I finished 2nd on last season i had 4.5 star CD and this is my starting design:
image sharing

So far looking nice.

3Star research


4Star research


5Star research



Here is what we have currently but it will chance slightly once other managers spend points

@Jack: congrats. i think it's working perfectly. balance is there, and some options for lower level managers are there.
The research rate (the way car design is increasing during the season)
Maybe is not enough time to say it but i'm having interesting races and seasons.

Only issue I can see is if you have a CD with a key area as a weakness your alway going to be on the back foot.
The idea that you can build the car in different ways but still get the same resaults just isnt there.
Really only want a CD with Tyre, Fuel, Reliability or Cooling as a weakness otherwise your doomed unless you use 2 or more CD's throughout the season.

Using more than one CD may work well in low levels but in high levels the wages are just too high to have more than one. Guaranteed income of 3.1M is easily ate up by 8K per staff member for 20races and drivers at 1.1-1.5m per race.

Only 3 more races of development left


As you can see most teams is leaving out the areas that don't really matter to the speed of the cars.


That is why I was saying in other thread that the wear rates need to be increased to make Cooling & Reliability more meaningful, It would force a more variety of car designs instead of everyone building very much the same thing.

There must be some why that yous could make a car that has just one area either Acceleration, Handling or Downforce be just as fast as a car that has all three areas, to get a mix of cars on the grid but still have close racing.

I have to agree.
