Last season was a completely different kettle of fish.

I realised I had no chance of stying up with my initial driver and figured my best shot was to get a new driver for the last four races. Therefore i deliberately stopped upgrading all car parts (even though I could have afforded it) for a good half of the year. I had about $60m with 4 races left and spent ~$85M on upgrades

You just replace it with the same level part in the dropdown box.

Hang on, I presumed we were taking this into account....I've upgraded and trained every single season (this one included)

Sorry - I'm not following what you mean?

So should newly promoted Rookies that have not secured their status upgrade any facilities? If so which ones

retired_tanuja

Still not sure what you're getting at?

I never upgraded any other facilities apart from lvl2 pitstop and commercial until last season. After deciding to embark on a testing mission, I decided to upgrade many of my other facilities, so saved up and spent the money there instead of on my car. PLUS, I can't really promote to elite with no facilities can I?

ffs

I mean I think I probably could have finished every race if i hadn't been upgrading facilities / training staff and drivers along the way

(except for commercial which is just plain vital).

Until you're certain that you won't be returning to rookie, I probably wouldn't spend money on any facilities whatsoever, as this would be wasted money that could've spent on trying to maintain your status instead.

Once you know you're staying in amateur or above, then most people recommend pitstop and commercial facilities first until you decide to do any testing. Personally I haven't seen any change whatsoever from having a pitstop facility, as I think it's the training level of your staff that affect pit times tbh...

personally i think car level means too little in this game, its aaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllll about the driver
