Really I think the best advice is at lvl 18 is dont buy drivers, find them via the Youth Academy.
There wages are much much lower than hiring an already trained driver, and you can train them the best way possible. It takes about a month I think to full train a youth driver to full 20s across the board iirc. Then you release them into the wild and go win races :D
I think it took me closer to two months...hard to remember. Definitely was not less than a month though.
Possibly. I have a driver with this team, signed on 31st of May from youth academy, so 16 or so days. I have trained him to min weight, max stamina and max driving ability. His mental stats are all mid teens, so I expect him to be maxed out 20 across the board by next week at the latest, that will be less than a month. Depends I think if your racing them of course. Since I am not racing this driver I can use all of his available health all of the time.
