I sincerely don't understand that complain bitterly how a random has damaged completely their season and they have lost points due to it, when they are running 2 seconds slower that the guy in P8 and 3 seconds slower than the guy in P1 just before the random occurred. Almost 1 second slower than the guys in front of him.

Even with a one stop strategy versus the front runners 2 stops would not have been enough to compensate.

Granted that a the random has consequential effects on sponsors and driver's motivation and I agree that you can be mad about it, but blaming on not getting points when that would not have occurred is just inflating what it was not there

I would have only been blocked at most 13 laps. Im not even going to get into it. Anyone worth their own salt knows how brutal fuji is at blocking eduardo
Ive also not said my whole season is ruined. I was highlighting how bad a random can be. That being said ive had 4 in the last 27 races.

Anyways potato potato.

See you on the track.

No I didn't, just some mods might make me forget it, if it gets out of hand. ;)

For a large portion of the GPRO community, getting either a job or a girlfriend would be a true random.

Getting a good result after a random. I was 7 on the grid with one stop strategy. On lap 7 I was 8th but had to pit for a technical problem, exist the pit in 29th and finish the race in 8 place. I'm happy with this result since I probably lost only 2 or 3 positions considering the strategy of the others cars.

Just found the reason...very funny and it tooks 33 secondes to change it:
Your driver was not feeling well in his helmet and it had to be changed with a new one

TBH Jorge
In your position it might be a blessing to relegate so that you can rebuild in Amateur and train up a new driver.
Most of us need to do it from time to time then you bounce back stronger 😊
Good Luck whatever you decide

7 seasons were a good first pass by pro class ... to see the necessary level ... we will see what happens in the future ... anyway it is something that I had planned for a while ... it is almost impossible to make money in pro class if you do not promote ... I already imagine how it is in master or higher ... good luck in your management Mr Wilden

Suggestion:

Allow managers to deliberately run their cars into someone that is blocking them the whole race.
