I just noticed that a driver in my AMATEUR 41 league has a rating of 136 in just one week in. He just signed a contract for 17 races. How is that possible if the maximum rating for amateur is 110??

110 is the maximum OA you can hire or extend contract. You can have a driver over 110 in Amatuer as long as hr was below that threshold when signed.

Just because he just started a 17 race contract, doesn't mean he only just signed it!

Tom, the driver in your amateur 41 league is spending his third season so there was enough time to train up his overall rating to 136.
The extended contracts are hidden until the active contract ends up so the souliton is that the contract was extended earlier and not now.

As Simon says, he didn't just sign the contract. To renew a driver their OA must be less then 110 OA when you go to renew it, but it can be higher then that when the new contract actually starts.
This is something that should really be explained better in the game rules, because it's pretty ambiguous right now and as a basic game mechanic it doesn't really fall into the realm of FOBY.

I think motivation should be removed completely from the OA calculation. This would clear up the confusion here and let everyone push to the limits every race.
We are here to race no? Lets stop having to purposely throw races to control OA and just race.

Removing motivation gets you the base OA. Once the base OA is over the limit for your group, no more contracts until you promote.

Even without motivation a driver with 136 OA isn't going to have less then 110 OA. So I don't think it would reduce confusion at all in this case. Since extending the driver's contract, both moti as well as other skills have improved to the point where he is no longer a suitable to be contracted in ama.

I'm not disagreeing with you regarding the base OA being less than 110 with full motivation at 136 OA.
My argument is that, without motivation, the OA number will be much easier to understand and we would not have to purposely throw away races just to manipulate the OA.

250 of motivation gives 21 of OA, or is a pilot with a lot of training and results, there are also many ways to encourage the driver to be motivated

Motivation has an impact on the speed of the driver so why just throw it away from calculation? It's a stat like others as well!

I'm also not saying throw away motivation. Keep motivation, just don't have it impact the OA. Motivation still goes up and down based on driver training, race position, etc. and still has an impact on every aspect of the game as it currently does.

Less or equal 110 OA is correct.

That's even worse... If you work out how it works it's good to know who has motivation and who are your main competition. Motivation gives driver more speed so it is important stat to know who you are against.

OA = Over All
If you remove motivation from the calculation then it is no longer an overall rating.

I have found in my career in Ammy/rook.
It is far easier to keep a driver in Ammy..
In rook you can forget money Management..(unless pushing and have the know-how)
In Ammy you should have the exp to balance the two..
I would prefer to get rid of season re-set in rook ! IE $$$'s
As talked above,, the hints are in the numbers of your driver ..
My Penny worth on a WORTH reading forum,, unlike most !

Yeah, that's right. I should have been more specific with what I was saying.

DAMN! I missed this slight oversite! Lesson learned. Thanks everyone for the response (even those who were even being sarcastic).
