How is it possible? .I offer a salary for 505.000$ and 1.515.000$ to sign a DT for 17 races and I was outbid by an offer for 360.000$?(maybe he was a supporter???).:-(It's not fair. I don't understand it.

It's not about being supporter. If you don't believe that, try for yourself 😝

There's more to a bid than salary and signing fee

being a supporter does not give privileges to the game! there are also bonuses in the offers you know?

How on earth is this a bug? A driver accepted less salary but probably a higher signing fee and/or bonuses. Just because you offer $1 more in salary does not mean you win the bid based on that alone

the maximum signing is 3xoffer. So their signing fee maximum (1.080.000) is much less than mine.

Plus any bonuses offered - the overall offer by the other manager appealed more to the driver - this is not a bug. There is more to the driver offer than simply salary and signing bonus - having played the game since S37 surely you would be aware of this?

You've played GPRO for half a century Jose Luis. You must have heard about - and have used - contract bonuses before.

If not, i'm sure someone at Red S Racing can enlighten you.

This. Makis will point you in the right direction @Jose Luis Macho Pita (P17) if you are usure of how the driver offers work.

You'll refused 500.000 more on the table only for the possibility to win some ( at last 140.000) per race in BONUS?Ja ja...

How do you know the exact offer the other manager gave?

This is simply not a bug but seems more like you are frustrated at not getting the driver you wanted.

There are some. things you are not considering. It's not supporter. Did you offer the TD prizes?

The Polish proverb says that a sparrow in your hand is better than a pigeon on the roof. But there are still people trying to catch the pigeon. Maybe Vlad is one of them :-D

I would refuse 500.000 for the possibly to win some 140.000 just because you are a Pro class' manager and maybe the other one is a Master class' manager (just, as an example) Of course the reason are bonuses. This game doesn't understand "normally performance". You have been playing a lot, you have to know.

Every GPRO driver expects to do really well when they're considering contract offers. We should admire their optimism =]
