My race was OK, started 3rd and finished 4th, so not too bad.
chrispa76,
I would say that if you are unsure about what type of driver to hire, try hiring a few different ones for 1 or 2 races and see how they perform. I'm still working out what means what, but from what I've found so far is that talent doesn't mean much at Rookie, it helps in the rain, that's about it. Stamina doesn't seem too important either, unless anyone know any different.Concentration seems to be the most important figure for a driver in Rookie. A young driver is only useful if you want to keep him, train him and keep him all teh way up, if you are looking for data, or some points then any old driver will do.
Tech Insight only really seems to help get your driver into a "satisfied" range, so for example, if he has high tech insight then he might be satisfied with a setup number only 50 away from a perfect setup, whereas a driver with low tech insight might be satisfied with a setup number 100 away from a perfect setup.
Pay your driver as little as possible, I personally wouldn't pay over 1 mil per race, if fact when I replace my current driver I will be looking at paying approx 300K per race, and train him up to be a decent driver. So if a driver is asking 700K per race, and you don't think anyone else will bid for him, try offereing 675K, or 700K. If you think other people will bid for him you'll need to bid a little more.
. Surely a high motivation is good?
so it shouldn't change much. Also aggressiveness is low but I think it is nothing to focus on as a start? Instead trying to drive safe and consistently try to score a few in every race? Well well..
O well I'm gonna check for someone else then. Btw, the driver i was assigned says he have 3 races left. Will I still be able to switch him out before that if i sign someone else? And I understand about not testing yet because of upcoming driver change, that's exactly why I haven't done it yet. IN the parameters you mentioned you didn't say anything about Technical Insight, a trait which I think sounds very good to have? Wont that help me loads with setting up the car during testing and qualify? It is a bit time consuming to search for a driver because i don't have a pro account yet and can only sort by one parameter at the time. I was also thinking I should get a pretty young driver that I can work with and train over time. Like his stamina and such, which means i don't necessarily have to have very much more than Talent to start with. It also means he will be cheaper? You are saying my driver wage should be "up 1.5m/race". Is that even if he only ask for lets say 700k? I offered 1 mil thinking that should me more than enough because of his low demand. And okay, nothing extra than the per race salary? Nothng for podiums or points bonuses to keep motivation low.
