Just a very small suggestion - in the group cup standings, why are friends not coloured green on there, when they are just about everywhere else?
Could we have them coloured please?

You have friends in Elite? xD

Don't forget I'm apparently part of the sponsorship cartel Stuart ;)
Gotta keep track of everyone somehow....

"Your sponsorship cartel membership will be revoked if you continue discussing it amongst lower league peasants. You will only be given the Wintrillions sponsor."
:-)
Hey i now know how this operates. Somebody tried tjeir best to kill the competitive spirit of the game in higher groups...

Damn - they didn't tell me you were the cartel enforcer Luke! I'd better watch out then!

How about sorting out the post data alert. When doing anything from mobile phone, that involves leaving browser to check data within an external app and returning back to browser the cancel button doesnt return to page instead results in a blank screen, so your forced to hit ok which runs a practice or testing lap with the same figures as previous try, even if you take fuel out prior. Therefore becomes a wasted attempt.
If its been mentioned before, then shouldnt this of been resolved by now. Thanks in advance.
Maybe that is another reason behind people leaving because it is extremely annoying.

If you look at managers without a team you can not sort then out by nation.
Maybe a good idea.
So if you wanna look your nation only...

Would it be possible to have an option to add quick notes to each team member on the team page so i don't forget the progress or something else? (Im sure others would like it too)

Hi!
It is now quite common to not have any change (excluding price) in the tyre characteristics. I always loved this part of the game, during a lot of time was the first thing I checked right after the reset. Also, managers with better tyre knowledge always had an advantage here in terms of planning their season according to the new tyre characteristics. Not sure if I am the only one but I like to have game advantages based on pure knowledge. :)
In my opinion we lost here a bit of strategy based on tyre knowledge and their constant changes.
Saying that and having in mind that the admins probably won't change the current tyre characteristics in the near future... Why not introduce a new tyre characteristic?
Silly example:
M tyre compounds limit
12 XS
15 S
15 M
12 H
6 W
If I am in a 3 stops XS for the first race of the season then I have only 8 XS tyres for the last 16 races.
Or why not going back to the old times where after each season we had a small update on the tyres characteristics? I really miss that strategy related with tyre characteristic changes. Am I alone? :)

I rather have the already mentioned Fuel suppliers. A completely new variable to explore.
I always thought that the adjustments made in the tyre attributes were mainly for performance/price harmonization.

Agreed it was more fun when tyres changed a lot. While I wasn't really around much before the new tyres came in, it was nicer to see the stats of the compounds change. If I'm correct, stats haven't changed since Avon went down to 2 dry bars around S40 or something. And while I can see that the need for changing the characteristics was sort of nullified by bringing in more tyre manufacturers, it's always more interesting when things are spiced up unexpectedly.
As for your suggestion, I'm not a great fan of it. I can see it being quite a good idea for games that do allow more than 1 compound per race, but in GPRO where you aren't I can't see it working.
And you definitely can't limit wet tyres ;)

I get the want for an advantage based on knowledge but then your "silly example" is based on luck as people don't know the season's weather when picking their tyres. /o\

I see some strategies around the tyre compound limit tbh. Strategies that could actually decrease a bit the importance of the season's weather on your season's plan. Anyway, my main idea was to remember the admins and managers about the old days, when we were all waiting for the tyre changes to try to guess, using some knowledge about the tyre characteristics, which tyre would be perfect for our season plan.

Yeap. More or less this too. :)

I agree if manager will have a chance to choose some values from the diapason. I mean that some compounds numbers are reserved, yoy need to choose N others.
And don't forget about conspiracy :)

The season weather would have to be somewhat less random, and more based on real expectations.
We'd have to be given virtual calendar dates (Race 1 on March 26, Race 2 on April 9, etc) and be able to have a reasonable chance of guessing the weather at those tracks - for example Finland in April would almost certainly have temps in the single digits, while Bahrain in July would almost always by 50C.

I can't see this working too well. In order to make it an actual strategic choice, the number of available set of tyres must be relatively limited. However, given the different durability for the different brands, if the sets available are tight for, for example, Michis, they will definitely be too low for Dunnos, Yokos or Hancock, whereas BR and Contis will have sets to spare. Unless there are different number of available sets for the different brands, which would be weird, this would severely handicap the low durability tyres.
Now, you could argue that would be a part of the choice: do you get a low durability brand knowing you'll be handicapped at some point in the season by being forced to go with harder compounds or do you choose more durable brands? However, that kind of strategic choice looks odd to me.
Also, it's very dependent on luck. After all, let's say the 4 from the first 12 races of the season are cold, so you are running out of xsoft sets. Then the 13th race is cold too, but not too much. Picking xsoft would normally still be better. However, your decision is just luck-based: if you go soft, to save the xsoft set for a better occasion, you might as well be shooting at your own foot if that occasion never arrives later down the season. That wasn't too much of a strategy choice (although, of course, there is a risk/benefit decision there), since the outcome was exclusively dependent on luck.
Finally, this is biased against low peak temperature tyres. At high temperature races, normally hard compound is the way to go, but there isn't too much of a penalty if, for any reason, you're running out of hard sets (although those should be the most available ones in a normal season) and you have to go with medium tyres. Instead, running out of xsoft tyres is quite bad if you're using a low peak temperature tyre, because being forced to go with soft tyres when the TCD is big (low temperature) is normally very bad, even if that saves you a pitstop.

This.

Not at all but I will not give you any example of that. Plenty of room for a lot of strategies not based on luck but it is up to you to find out.
Too much focus on a silly example. :) But what I would love to have back is the lost small piece of knowledge based on the tyre characteristics changes.

Forum Poll
Any chance of a tweak to the forum polls so people can change their initial answer? I'm sure I'm not the only one that has made a selection on a poll and then changed my mind after further thought or hearing more discussion on it making me consider points I've not considered before.

hello,
its writen to small
and why doesn't staff and pilots not a daily training?? why must we wait a run for having a training ??
in real we train every day

Well, for one, you'd run out of money. But if it helps you can look at it like you're choosing the drivers training regimen for the entire between-race period.

Hi guys,
This time I have a not very serious issue for you. :) I have just come up with a new name for the most expensive tyre supplier in our game. In my opinion it suits better current situation and it is more phonetically related to the original name.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen... Let me introduce a new name: RICHSTONE. :)

He is a man, who is not afraid to spend 8,2 mln every race on tyres, even though there is one of the coldest seasons since I remember. :)

I would like to see more historical statistics on sponsorship income. There is already a category for "best managers by sponsor money".
My all-time sponsor income on a per race basis has to be one of the worst all-time.

Please can we have GPRO triple crown achievement added to the roster. Which means adding Bugatti Circuit (la sarthe) to the track roster and then with Monaco, Indy Oval and Bugatti staged at the same period as the RL Indy 500, Monaco GP and Le Mans. Then the first triple crown can be staged next season \0/

Hello to all. I don't know if this has already been talked, but i would like to have the tyres with the colour stripes acourding to the tyre type. If not on the qualifying time at least after closing the qualifying. If possible. Thanx

It gives too much info about what others are doing and even more important; it takes away from the excitement of whether other mangers are on the same strategy or not.
