Sorry - everyone seems to have ignored you

I'm assuming you've already signed up to play GPRO, and if you haven't already - sign up at our super secret forum here.

Then, (and I know this sounds boring) but try giving the newbie guide in our forum a read which will give you a good heads up on the major workings of the game. Finally, post your current driver stats in the driver forum section (or here), and we'll give you advice on whether you should keep him, or get rid and sign another driver before the season starts.

With all our help you should be able to promote to an amateur league this season, by which point you should have a very good idea of how the game works and start fighting with the big boys

Your driver has 60 stamina more than me and he's not faster.

Your driver is slightly lighter - has 65 more concentration, and the quali times say he is faster

He won't be much longer though, as he's 35 and his stats are dropping...

You both pay too much for your driver's anyway.

Oh - and the GPRO member list has been updated over on the other forum here.

I'm missing information for all the new registrations over the last couple of weeks, so if you need adding to the list - or you spot some other information that's incorrect, please post in the thread and I'll edit as necessary

At least our drivers kept us in Master though :p

...and $1.3mil salary is nothing compared to what others you see being handed out.

Your forgetting that I do not know my exact happy zones (owing to having a new TD) so haven't hit the perfect set-up, and that stamina points are worth more than conc points (and that I have a higher level car, but we'll brush that one aside )

I am willing to concede that aggression may not be as bad for your car wear as we once thought, but you only need to look at the most succesful drivers on the market to see that they have no aggression. Drivers with aggression invariably do a lot worse than their stats would otherwise suggest.

The conclusion is simply that aggression makes your driver slower. This may not be so in quali, based on the fact that I have never been a particularly fast qualifier in this game.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

and the clincher.....he's an alright driver but compare the next driver's career record with those above and then compare other stats...

Exhibit C

The evidence on this is overwhelming. Aggressive drivers get worse results

san

Humbug. Exhibit A disappeared

Nicely sidestepped

Exhibit A doesn't work

And unfortunately you obviously haven't looked at where exhibit B scored all his points. He scored 90% of them in season 3 and below where Torrezgomez was one of the most dominant managers (had money, the best car, TD and facilities.) If you look - the same driver has not performed very well, even when placed in the hands of good managers in later seasons (Heidi Koski for example?)

I will now scour the market for examples to backup my side of the argument

Exhibit A is the Guy i was considering signing up the top of the page btw ( you just have to delete the gibberish at the end of the linkage )

I'm not doing it for you all you bunch of lazy swines !
