Christmas & Update ETA

Ah, the classic free game defend argument. You do realize you’re not bringing anything to the discussion right? Some people, i don’t know about you. Use and spend their money and time to play this game. You’re that stupid, it’s unbearable to me

Agreed

I have a question regarding drivers special abilities, I understand they are hidden in the youth academy, my question is will the ability be shown once we acquire a driver? Or will it stay hidden

This update looks to be fun! I hope we get Tal 21-30 drivers as well. Just for the sake of symmetry.

Anyhoo, great work and good luck on the update Jack! We all greatly appreciate the work you're doing.

Talent 30 ?

Sounds exciting. Thank you Jack for your hard work.
Sorry to mention that  the DRS is a weak point of the game. Other than that, everything is perfect! :) 

30 points..? Max attributes must be 300 points for Elite..

The game sucks, hire more developers. The game is very hollow. Literally unplayable

Va aggiunta anche la po' di variare il grado dell'incidenza dell'ala anteriore durante la sosta quando cambi 

About this update, there's a few things that worry me as a developer myself:

- BMI: It's widely known that the official version is that driver weight does not impact on car performance. However, almost everyone here trains a driver on weight first because you experience an incredible boost on his performance, which goes against this statement. Said that, there are two things that worry me:
1- once BMI will be implemented, shorter drivers may have a temporary boost on their performance since their BMI will be closer to the ideal value with the current weights that we have, which can have an impact in the ongoing championships until taller drivers can gain weight.
2- after this moment, and given the statement that I used to open this topic, if weight keeps having an impact on performance, shorter drivers can then have a big advantage even if they have the same BMI than taller drivers, 'cause their weight will be much lower.
Did those two points have been taken into consideration during development and testing? Will weight have an impact on performance in the next season?

- Driver strengths: I'd like to know if the strengths have been balanced. The reason I ask this is simple. Some strengths can have impact only on a few races per season (urban circuits) or even none (rain specialist) while others can have an impact on every race (qualification). 
If the gain in performance is big, those with an impact on every race will have a big advantage over the others. If some have bigger impact than others to balance the effects, there will be almost impossible to win on certain circuits or situations if you don't have the right driver. 
On the other hand, if the performance gain is low to balance it, this will make this feature completely irrelevant.
Also, not knowing what kind of strength you'll get will drive to a constant hiring of drivers until you'll find your desired one (hopefully one whose strength will apply on every race) and older teams with loads of unspent tokens will have an advantage over newer teams.
Finally, bigger teams with more experience may find interesting having multiple drivers and not compete in the drivers championship in order to have always the best driver on track for each situation (what will turn into boring or predictable championships). That may apply too to "favourite circuits".
-Engine suppliers: will this option to have a cost on real money? This is probably one of the most interesting features that I've heard about on the last months, 'cause it will add a new layer to the game for those who wants to spend more time on it (while others may just choose to buy an engine and forget about thinking on it). However, this game to be free (or supported by adds and optional buys that only speed up things) is one of the best features that it has. I'd like to know how will you deal with it.

And speaking about other topics of this thread, I see DRS as well as one of the biggests problems of the game. Its effect is so strong that turns an F1 game into a cycling game (with F1 cars), where you need someone who pulls you and lets you save resources until the final sprint. Strategy comes so often into a decision of "which one will allow me to be more time into a leading group" and better strategies in terms of pure pace can be useless if you drive alone for most of the race (or help your rivals to take advantage of your pace). This doesn't match with real F1.

Happy new year to everyone.

Are there any thoughts on adding more wheel to wheel racing without ghosting, safety cars or an improvement to the hard and medium tires?

Hi,

Will the driver's special talent be editable, similar to a CD's strength/weakness?

Thanks in advance

Do when exacly this uptade is coming?

It's January 9 now, when is the update coming?

where are custom engines?

Can anyone at least confirm that in news its about January this year?

Flavio we don't know I know you are inpatient like me but we can't do something yet I believe the IGP team 

It was just joke, but really they shouldnt announce that, they should do same what they did with norefueling update, no talking just doing.
