In Red, the picks of the teams that already have a A driver and that can't sign another A driver (if any available).

Briscoe is in for a surprise, as he is young driver for non-existing team.

Why Honda is not on young driver list? Also about Honda, isn't Panis's contract done, so that means that they should be at least on 1 list?

 

[TTupsi]

What is the young driver programme anyway? There's no mention of it in the rules.

Agree for Briscoe and Ligier, I forgot to replace it by Toyota
Honda is nowhere because I haven’t found anyone to get the team. So the team is ruled by AI and pick their driver after everyone

Yeah...any AI team should start at Tier 5.

Ah, okay, forgot about that. I'm guessing Honda will take regular driver Karthikeyan and young driver Doornbos... (presumably it's easy level AI)

 

[Benutzername]

Just some idea...

Nobody ever takes bad drivers. In real life, bad drivers still get a seat from time to time.

How about introducing pay drivers? Not that i like them, but it couöd bring another tactic to the game.

Take Stroll and get a bonus of X pp at the start of the season.
Or get a random value upgrade.

Something like that.
Dont know if its a good or bad idea

!!!! FLM News !!!

After a misunderstanding, there have been changes for the Young Drivers signings.
I've updated the picture and here what happened during this off season :
Sauber has pre-signed R. Kubica (>2006)
Arrows has pre-signed H. Kovalainen (>2006)
Renault has pre-signed N. Rosberg (>2006)

By the way, remember that the point system changed in 2003. We are now on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis !

5/6 finishes with 35% reliability This is why I almost left in the mid 90s.

I'm working for weeks now on a 100% "fair" Reliability system. It is ready for FLM3, but I wasn't sure to add it in current FLM. Would you guys like to have it during the next seasons ?

Why don't you explain what your definition of "fair" is.

 

[Benutzername]

Actually i like it how it is.
You can gamble and profit. You can gamble and get lost totally. You can play it safe but loose pp for other upgrades.

But let's hear your new version first.

 

[rubaru]

I have to agree with Sasha, even though I am at the benefit of his comment. I have 35% Rel but finished 5 of 6. I'm also confused. I purposely went risky to boost my Aero and Engine values, but it turns out there was no risk involved.

The idea is simple, every team has the same reliability but most of all, every team and every driver will retire the exact same number of races during the season. The idea is that you won't know "when" you'll retire. DNFs will be "scripted" before the launch of a season.

 

[rubaru]

Is there some sort of reliability that we can buy...something to reduce the number of these scripted DNF's?

Actually, I understand that racing has that randomness, so it is fine on that side. I'm just annoyed that it happened multiple times already. And now, just as I was getting a chance to have a shot at title in next 5 years, boom.
As for "fair", can't you make these % really count? If you want to script it, you can do it even now. For example: every 3 races, there are 6 possible finishes, if team has 60% rel your script will DNF it from 2 (maybe same driver twice, maybe each driver once).
