Race Department Racing Manager - Season 1
Barcelona Race Laps 1-23
Bottas has a slow getaway, as Hulkenberg gets released to chase down Norris. Alonso gains a place, however is quickly repassed by Vettel on the soft tyres.
Vettel makes more progress, but looks to be stuck behind Zhou. Magnussen pulls away on softs. Hulkenberg is within DRS of Norris now, but unable to pass.
De Vries becomes the first retirement of the race, as he seems to pick up all the bad luck in NLE.
First round of pitstops was very interesting. Magnussen was briefly stuck behind Zhou, however quickly re-passes him. Vetel does a great outlap, and manages to jump Gasly out of the stop. He also manages to clear Russell.
Leclerc also pits, and is jumped by both Gasly and Vettel, as they rush to their positions before the stops. Hulkenberg makes a comment on the radio how the tyres are still good.
Next update until lap 46.
Deadline July 1st, 17:00 CEST

Can we know time loss in pit under VSC?
Yeah I forgot it
It's always 60% of the original time. So about 14,3 seconds
Edit: for a full safety car its 45% of the original time

I put every driver on Tyre Save mode, otherwise no
Barcelona laps 59-66
Albon had to pit to switch to a different compound, while Alonso opted to pit. Giovinazzi complained on team radio how preference was given to Alonso.
Vettel manages to finally pass Bottas, who has stayed quite long on that tyre set.
Alonso has already gained 2 positions, it will be interesting to see if he can reach Gio again.
Alonso in clean air sets the new fastest lap, a full 2 seconds faster than Gasly at this point.
The Renault has once again failed Magnussen, as he once again retires from the race lead. Norris inherits the lead. Ricciardo also retires which will likely mean Falcon scores no points.
Alonso is past Gasly, he will have a hard task to catch up to Zhou. Likewise, Albon passes Bottas.
Hulk is quite quickly catching up to Norris as his tyres begin to deteriorate.
Vettel manages a great defense on Albon, while Alonso does end up catching Zhou. He was, however unhappy to have lost the place to his teammate.
Norris manages to hold his lead.
The first post is NOT updated, so don't make buys yet pls

It was exhausting having to make strategy for whole race.
Great fight @rubaru , long first stint really got back Norris in 2nd stint. To bad it ended how it ended.

Going to extend the market by one day since more than half of managers didn't make any buys

Monaco Qualifying
OUT: GIO, ZHO, RIC, ALB, PER
Russell didn't crash, very nearly managed to avoid taking damage.
OUT: ALO, PIA, STR, MAG, HUL
The Renaults really improved on the second laps, while neither NLE or Jawz could find clean air for their cars.
Strategy report:
Soft - 27 laps
Medium - 46 laps
Hard - 58 laps
I would potentially add S-M with some tyre saving, but it will be risky for about 7 laps. But it's also Monaco so if you are already ahead it might be fine.
The one and only update this race goes until lap 31, and after that until the race end.

Couple of announcements:
-I'm trialing a new mechanical failure system, which is supposed to be more random. Instead of using the excel RAND(), I have a very large random.org randomized array and I will use a seed.
-I'm also trialing a tyre heating system, meaning undercuts will be less powerful as the tyres will now need to warm up. It will be compound-dependent. You will notice in the Tyres chart, it will lean towards blue as the tyres are colder, they will stay this green colour if they are at optimal temps, and orange when they get warm (they will only get warm if they are heavily worn out). I don't want to integrate it with pace modes, I feel it may be too complex but I may run another poll about it later.
-I simulated all of the new colours on a colour blindness filter and it should be distinct for all types, I also changed the worn out colour to make it more distinct for green-weak. (@Millsy24 better?)
-I've added the effect of pace modes and SC under 2d and 2e in the first post.
-After this race I will show the chance of finishing % in the first post pictures, next to your engine

other than optimal and worn out (old) being exactly the same colour, its great!
What about Blue-Green-Yellow-Red-Black?
