Last season it didn't get any better on the second DDD. The same mad amount of offers and people without drivers </BLOCKQUOTE>

Well true, the mad people who bid the min value on drivers with 20 offers keep bidding all the time.

I was on meaning that the drivers people used to get promoted will then filter into the driver market, as they'll sign new drivers.

Depends on which market you mean.

In Amateur, the market quietens dramatically after 2-3 races, so I'd be tempted to sign a cheapy for the first few.

In Rookie however, it remains crazy until after the first 10 races - therefore you'll have to pay over the odds for a decent driver in most circumstances - although waiting will reduce the competition slightly...

Chris that would be true if they hadn't expanded the number of groups so drastically.

Im expecting to see the whole rookie market being extremely competitive all season.

1. The second DDD will be before race 1.

2. IMM didn't quote anyone, so I decided he's giving advice to Rookies :p

3. A really good driver will always be wanted, with absolutely no relation to the timing he appears in the correct limits

I wasn't really giving advice to anyone, just stating what I would do

Giving advice though, i'd sign a cheap driver for both divisions. If you've just got promoted, you'll be nowhere initially, so its worth just saving money. If you are in rookie, some people will upgrade their cars way too fast and have risks too high and not be able to fix them later in the season, so there will be easy points later in the season.

The new rookie groups won't be effecting the market, new rookies start with a driver don't they? Just wait for next year when they do

[retired_tanuja]

Or alternatively, find a few really good drivers and offer them $3mil per race? Sorted

Snipe a driver. Literally no plus points to not doing it.

Who is Luciano Wood from Rookie - 10. They've applied to the team.

If you're OTF how the hell have you only got 13mil left already ?

me!

I have a habit of getting money irl and on game and just finding the best way to spend without saving. Car, driver and soon I will have 10 mil because of applying.

Is it bad to have only 8m at the start of Amateur? started with 8.5m and put a contract offer in...
