......and out the race!
So is there anything I can/could've done to prevent this?
All the build up to the race and then parked up for 69 laps.

Look at the risks you are taking, especially but not only the starting risks.

It takes time to find the right combination of start risks and race risks for the driver and league you are, Steve. But first advice is to lower the CT risks given you are at Rookie.

And it's not only your own fault every time, could've been an opponent as well. This time the text suggests something different though..

Got your PM Hakan, thx.
I think I have to take this one on the chin, 100 CT and Force way to front.
Just the text of "Shunted off the track" didn't read like it was actually my fault.
Oh well, we return to fight another day #Mclaren

100CT would wear your car out in a non-sustainable way anyhow. 0-10 max for rookie.

Why?
It's not necessarily the "best way" to use that low risks. It might be the "best" way as long as you have level 1 and maybe level 2 parts, but once you have at least level 3 parts there is nothing wrong with using higher risks than that.
I wouldn't advice you to go too high but up to 30-40 is fine IMO. Especially at the beginning it may not be the worst idea to experiment with everything (including different risks) anyway and more importantly record all your data.

personally I think a lot of players run out of money & give up before they get to lvl 3 parts. but that's just me I guess
|
|

Those who run out of money that quickly are usually either using very high risks (up to 100 CT) with the lowest part levels already or replace the parts way too soon (upgrading all parts to level 2 before even doing their first race springs to mind which is the worst idea of all) or do even both of those things.
No one is going to run out of money if they only replace parts when really needed and start to use higher risks (up to 30-40) only when they have most parts at level 3 already.

100CT and L1 parts are definitely a bad combo. With L3-4-5 parts things start to change though, and there I agree with Christoph on the 30-40CT not being a bad option.
Steve, there's plenty of time to learn and fine tune stuff. I think you are in the right way if you conclude that 100CT and force are likely to cause a self inflicted start crash, and the rest is still to come ;)

You're not thinking like a new player.
You say that like a new player will quickly figure out that using 100CT is the root cause of high car wear / smokes / retirements ... ie negative experiences.
Also to say they replace car parts "too soon" is subjective to knowing the upcoming car wear for the circuit & being able to quantify what is "soon" and what isn't.
What you are saying is that it is possible to run more CT risks in rookie if you manage it properly - and of course that is true & I agree with it - but for new players starting out they need to keep the risks right down imo until they find their feet in the game. If I had my way their welcome email would tell them that as well

I've been upgrading the parts over 50% wear and always for the next level up so was at L3 or 4 for each part, but all the races I've been in up until then had been CT80 so thought I wonder what will happen......
I guess leaving the track at the 1st corner is the result lol.
I'm a Mclaren fan so used to disappointment and watching the race from the trackside!
Thx for the replies.

Just some advice so he can stay on his feet until he learns to walk :D
My own experience was that I had to learn to combine Qualy risks, Start risks & Race risks all over again when I moved to a different league or hired a different driver. I had good advice, but it was still an experience I had to go though to have a better understanding :)

This is about Steven and to me it seems like he figured out already that 100 CT isn't the best idea plus he came to the forum and got told that this wears the car very quickly (it's also mentioned in the rules, guide, wiki stuff somewhere or at least that 40 CT is considered high in Rookie).

Sure, but if he is following the advice, he will realize after just a couple of races that the wear is different for each part on different tracks. Also if he records his data he will have a very rough idea about part wear after 3-4 races.
He doesn't need to get it spot on (and he can't of course without sufficient data), but as long as he doesn't replace the engine after 1 race only because it got 60% wear by using high risk and now thinking it won't last another race for example, he has done a better job than most.

Just reading a bit a following the simple advices it's no problem for a new manager to manage the money and then try to experiment a bit with risks also if parts are level 3+
Rookie is the place to try out every sort of stuff and getting data about the effect of risks is another part in finding their feet in the game.
