Notice the bets and bonus question. Should make this a more interesting exercise than in years past.

The Broker Fee should help keep people in it to the end also.

Team Scotracer is also in this F1 manager, with a team name-change to Bawjaws Engineering.
I'm a bit confused over it though, it's very similar but different from www.f1manager.info which unfortunately isn't up yet.

What about the one we've been in the last few years?

Are you going to start an Atlas League, when possible?

F1manager was nice and simple, but in the last third of every season there is no way to catch up with the leaders or make inroads because they reach a plateau.
This looks good as it features a couple of variables, and you can earn more money/points by predictions etc.

Yeah pretty much. Or you can lump the majority of your budget on a decent driver, engine etc.

Think you get more money if the parts and drivers u got do good, then you can upgrade, not sure about that though lol

But that's what makes it so good. Its all about the planning and the studying. You can catch up at the end with a clever gamble as i did in 08 (i then messed it up again). But it makes it all the more real for me.
Too many variables and it loses any sense of skill. but i'll need to give it a look see. just don't have much time this week! eek.

I think this one is better. Too many update and scoring tech glitches at the other one.
Besides, this one is the same basic system with a couple of more variables.

Well from what I can gather (unless I'm missing something), it's mathematically impossible to have any one of the top 6-8 drivers in your team for the first race as it doesn't leave you enough money for even the cheapest second driver, chassis, engine and fuel. Which seems a bit of an odd set up.

Looks like this is the case to me, as you must have a complete set-up to earn points. I guess the idea is to build up funds over several races to then switch to better drivers

best F1 game on the net.
Zauber made it all the way up to 9th last year, my first year, thanks to Toyota's early performance.
Money does seem a little tight this year

No. Hence my question earlier.

I did find it a bit odd that you the dearest driver you could afford was something from Renault or Williams, and that meant going with Campos in all other slots. But this model perhaps is better for longevity. We'll see how it pans out!

Yup! Driver line up features youth and experience but no Chandhok!

The site is bloody slow mind!!!
Okay been looking at how to 'make' a team and it is clear the points are weighted massively in flavour in drivers, not sure how you guys have/are planning your teams, but to me it seems the best way is to skip the drivers for the start and obtain points on engine/chassis, ditch senna and Chandhok once you have enough money for the $70 mil drivers?
