You've failed to add a reason why.

Isn't it fairly obvious when they are. I have my driver's favourite track etched into my memory.

Could do. It's easy enough to spot them though. Would be more useful to have the favourite tracks of your competitors shown for easy reference.

You just need a pop-up for mouseover, like with the stars next to your picture.

It's not like it couldn't be done, but it takes 5 seconds to check and then you're good for the season :)

Now this would be awesome. Maybe just an indication on the Managers' Staff page, just to see who's got a fav track for the upcoming race.

At first i agreed with this but shouldt it be so easy to know the competitors fav tracks? Yes it can be found by the normal way but it takes more effort and thats the way it should be imo.

I kind of agree. But then again - I felt the same way about displaying managers' tyre manufacturer, but the change to do so was a good one in hindsight.

I like this idea, although it can always change if a manager changes their driver. So while I would be for this change, I would also think a highlight on the manager's staff page for a driver (or TD) that has been signed since the last staff market would be useful to notice any changes as you could then quickly check favourite tracks at the start of the season thanks to Andrew's suggestion, but then make sure you keep an eye on the staff page to make sure you are aware of any changes throughout the season.

EDIT - No actual need for my suggestion as you can just check latest market transfers and search for your group after each staff market. :)

I've been updating a simple excel sheet with this kind of info for my personal information, I prefer the old way of doing some research and plan the season along with it.

This addition it's helpfull indeed for those who don't want to do this research from themselves, but perhaps it would be even more interesting if it's included in the Q1 & Q2 page with some colour, there you can spot any favourite track manager straight in the page we all check the most before a race rather than in the Manager's staff.

I`m sure this is not the intention, or ability of this implimentation. As far as I understand, this is just a quick reference feature for each manager to see his own favourite tracks with a quick glance at the Calendar, to remind him when they are due.

Nice feature.... doesn`t add much to the game, but has a use as a reminder. So I like it.

Thanks Admin people.

EDIT: Maybe it can be expanded to the main screen, and show the track name in a different colour if it is your favourite track too.

Really helpful thing, great idea and great quick implementation. Just one little thing to fix: the explanation text below table should read "Drivername = Next race is this driver's favourite track" :)
