Quote ( Patrik Frank @ February 24th 2022,21:30:28 ) Hello , everyone . i have played full season already , with great results regarding my group , but when I compare to overall rookies groups , both qualifying and race . I am too far behind ( 3-4 ) seconds .
People have offered you a lot of advice already but one more thing to consider: you don't need to be faster than all Rookies, at most you need to be fastest in your group. Quite a few of the fastest people overall are probably overspending. Being at the top of the qualifying/race time/FL statistics for all Rookies/Amateurs/Pros etc is nice but not always necessary.

first thank you all , I don’t really know , how to use quotations . and there will be not enough time to respond to all of you . so if anyone one , looking for further respond . 1- great help , and fun reading ( can’t be more thankful ) 2- i understand the fact , you can’t give me clear answer , and you should not . 3- my theory , if I am not the fastest in rookie , how I can dream to be champions one day . yes , i am patient , and ready to keep repeating rookie as long as it takes in order to find the correct formula . but I can’t accept playing in higher level , while I am this far behind . ( I don’t think I should be allowed ) . 4- it is only one season ( not enough experience ) , I am only waiting for the race at Jeddah ( so I can find new driver to compare with my current driver ) as I have raced with him at Jeddah already .

IF that's in order, it's completely wrong...
...
...in case of rookie, anyone even remotely or in passing mentioning PHA matching should be taken to the town square and publicly flogged :) Mostly waste of money in rookie that is.
I was Patrik's mentor. This entire discussion is missing a lot of context.
No, those aren't and weren't in cardinal order. It is only a partial list. No, I did not suggest PHA matching. I suggested that better matched PHA could improve lap times and competitiveness.
Patrik was (and obviously is) very concerned about why he isn't the fastest car/driver/manager in all of Rookie. I told him that there were many layers to the game that would become clear in time. He asked a very similar question at the time - how could these other managers be faster than him? I told him some of the reasons that could be that he should consider to have an effect.
i am sorry if my post have some miss-leading informations . was not my intention . yes you were a great help , in giving me hints to get to think in the right direction . and as planned , I pushed my car level so high on last race and couldn’t bridge the gap to less than 2 seconds . I am only trying to say , I missing something about this game , and not ready to move on , till I find a satisfying answer ! thank you for all the time and effort you have invested in teaching me .

I recommend the following attitude:
"How do I maximise my profit and continue to grow"
Sometimes the win will cost you more money than you earn, when compared to 2nd place, or even not finishing in the points. You need to attribute a "cost" to the parts you use, and an "income" based on winnings, keeping sponsors and gaining new ones. This basically means:
* Understand the impact drivers have on car wear (Pro and upwards) * Pay the least for a driver as possible whilst still getting the results you want. Consider the cost of training a driver as part of the driver salary as the "real" cost. * Optimize free performance: Front/Rear wing split, correct tyre/fuel strategy, optimal car setup * Optimize the risks used to minimise wear whilst still getting the result you need * Maintain momentum where possible - promotion seasons should ALWAYS bring you significant profits which offset the pain of promotion to a harder step of the pyramid. If you lose money whilst promoting, you're gonna be demoting pretty soon (unless you have a pile of cash!) * Effort pays off in the higher tiers: study the driver markets regularly to find hidden gems, study sponsors, pay attention to what your rivals spend/when they sign sponsors / when they sign drivers, and predict their plans.
Just my modus operandi!

Because some Rookies were already the game's fastest Elite champions first. Then you'll be the fastest Rookie too.
EDIT: And you'll meet the "super rookies", just guys in Rookie and spending like Amateurs. So annoying. I call them "infra amateurs".

There is a huge difference between being the fastest rookie manager and being the rookie manager best positioned to make it to Pro/Master/Elite. A lot of super rookies and achievement hunters that it's unproductive to compare yourself to if you're looking to become an Elite champ.

Not even the elite champion wins every race. Choose your battles. Its better to be second in every race, than to win only one race and lose all the others.
The goal of Rookie isn't to be the fastest Rookie player. The main goal is to gather data. The secondary goal is to make as much money as you can, while still being fast enough to promote.

Don't just do single-race comparisons. Some drivers are better in certain races and others are better in different circumstances. Compare entire seasons and check for more than just "how many races did I win?"
Plenty of people here advise you to get into a team. If you're impatient or enjoy playing in a team, that's good advice. If you enjoy to work things out yourself, like I do, then keep at it. Don't be afraid to go up into Amateur to gather experience, either.

In fact , community is great . not only in the forum , also my mailbox flood with PM . my apologies , I didn’t replay to all .
in conclusion , from all the explanations I get . yes i should approche the game differently . mainly , from the point of manager and focus on finance management .
will give it a trail and see how it goes .

My post got a dislike... Interesting... Taken out of context or considered risking giving FOBY type stuff away I wonder.
Well, just in case....
Quote ( MG van Rensburg @ February 25th 2022,06:53:04 ) Fun fact.
There is alot of data for these questions just a couple clicks away on this very website. Actual proper raw data, waiting to be collected and analysed, not simply more examples of conversations like this.
Key is to open the mind to beyond just your own little bubble in the game. Take that little mouse on an expedition and click away, deep dive on all the links available on each page you discover, see what's out there, I'll bet there are alot more links than probably realise (obviously don't mean the ads etc, but hey, if any appeal to you, who am I to judge).
Pay careful attention to whats hidden, what's not, when it's hidden, when it's not and so on.
Tips to get you on your way 1) Staff market 2) Manager profile page 3) History 4) While you may find your way to data via a certain route/order of little mouse clicks, for the data to make sense, shed light, answer questions, it could be as simple as reordering the process, so it tells a story, kinda like a story puzzle.
And dont forget, important reminder, be sure to think beyond just your own little bubble.
.... is aimed at genuine advise, not sarcasm or other such nonsense like telling the manager to get a new driver or something. There is alot about drivers actually available on the website, alot of genuine historic information actually stored for everyone to see is pretty plain sight on the site, and yes, outside one's own bubble, i.e alot of the data isnt your own, but that of other managers etc and no, not through data scraping tools, but just simple mouse clicks on links available. WAY more info, seriously helpful info than could ever fit in a single post here.
And if that FOBY.... whoops?

Just a little update , I made the list in amateur , nearly on the very top specially on the final race … very satisfied and very thankful to all of you
but a very special thanks to Mikko , who did challenge me to the max to be a better version of myself ( he is weird ) his words offended me most of the time , and I stopped sending him any questions ??? because of the way he answers , but that challenge was one of the reasons to push me more and more ((( thank you mikko )))
this is not the place to say this , but thanks to my team , what a great help and great challenge ( in every race ) , without your advices I would have lost my driver and I would have promote too early .
now I am all set up for new challenge in PRO .

Those who compete tend to look for the ways to do already existing things the best. Those who don't dwell on competition in life, on the other hand, consider new ways to go about things. Without that desire to “win,” the non-competitive devise ways to make everybody a victor. Instead of getting more motivated and inspired to do better to achieve success by competing, you now compete for its own sake. The goal is to become the best, a winner, and satisfy one's ego knowing you are better than everyone elseThere's even quantifiable evidence that agreeable people, on balance, tend to struggle to advance in the workplace. But all hope isn't lost for you. The truth is that · not suited for competition. a ; b · not inclined towards or characterized by competition or rivalry. his ; c · not being, involving, or engaging in a ...Being competitive doesn't mean you're not laid back or polite or too aggressive. Being competitive doesn't insinuate that you are self-obsessed ...

That really doesn't look like you just popped that off on the keyboard. I could be wrong. :)
The newbie forum is for newbies to ask questions and get advice/help etc.
What's your point?

Looks like a Vlad DA.... :P

Now you have to unsettle "our" egos, win over whoever underestimated "you" and share the success with everybody with all that cool.
Edit: Voted Yes BTW. :-)
