Hi Guys,

I have an issue where my previous driver would always seem to take a nap at the start and drop 4-5 places, every....single....time....

I really can't say if its because of amateur or due to the driver.

With high concentration, a decent start risk and low aggression, i really have no idea why this would be happeneing?

The only reason i can think of is that he was old, and maybe he has poor reflexes or something....

Hoping not to repeat the same trend with my new driver, so any and all advice very welcome!

Roy.

It's probably got more to do with something you're doing wrong with the race setup and the starting risks. You should investigate in that area ;)

But there are certain combinations of risks you don't want to combine at the start.

No way!!! Max out the risks!! Reduce by 1 every race. When you stop start crashing and smashing in to people...Hey presto...you'll know where you stand :-)

**Edit. This is probably not a great idea***

Is it good strategy to go max risk early in season to hope you cause major collisions and have other teams go bankrupt because of this?

It would be interesting to tell you what risks you are using in the race so that we can get a better idea of what is happening or where you are going wrong.

But in any case, try to use low risks in the next race and see if your driver's mistakes persist.

No. Most of the time the only major collision will be your driver in a wall by himself.

So, your current driver is not having this issue; not your current driver?

You either have changed you strategies, or it was your previous driver. IMO

No matter what risks he is taking the result is always a combination between his risks and other managers risks.
So if he is taking low risks and managers around him are taking higher risks, they will naturally gain his position.

Ups... was that FOBY?...:-)

So I advise everybody to use Force to Front because if you are using high risks you will naturally overtake everybody using lower risks to gain extra positions. Job done ;)

Ooops, was that Foby ? Sorry !
