The time zone thing has been discussed often, and I can see how that can be an issue for some. I personally never bid near the deadline at all. If you really want to fix the deadline issue the most fair solution is to keep bids hidden, but imo that takes away a bit of the fun as well as a FOBY method to learn what might be a good driver.
More slots would simply attract more bids, that doesn't help the madness.
Captchas are horrible pieces of crap.

Captchas on market bidding will be hella fun. Try and make that deadline now, humans.
Are there seriously tools around that do bids and sponsor negotiations? I wouldn't even entrust that task to a bot of my own making! Let alone some free-ass malware found online :P

@mikko in which case perhaps driver skills should degrade slightly faster than they do atm so that you go a whole season without any good ones coming available (which is the different strategy you allude to and very much one I hoped/planned to adopt) and then the all end up in the R1 market because of the end of season driver adjustments.
I agree that there is a way of avoiding R1 market madness but not sure that enough good drivers become available at different times. Obviously this would only need a tweak (eg losing 2pts per race rather than 1) rather than an overhaul

On the Latest Market Transfers page /gb/LastTransfers.asp include a filter for your team so that you can view teammate staff changes in one screen.

Obviously this would only need a tweak (eg losing 2pts per race rather than 1) rather than an overhaul Or keeping the losses between seasons the same but increasing the losses when not in a contract, both by race and by season. Which would be promoting longer term driver management as well as making short term drivers more readily available for lower groups.

At the beginning of each season the group votes to determine the era of cars that will be used by all managers. It would be fun to see periods from the '60s , '70s and '80s

Idea for a silly and harmless statistic: 'Season Standings if Qualifying was the Race" -calculates points using the same 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-10 system based on top 8 qualifying positions each race.
If we want to get crazy, maybe even small season bonus for top 10 qualifiers in each group (although I doubt this would be much different than the regular standings)

the Cars of our Friends that we follow on Race would be visible on our Race too on shadow like form. they just pass through everyone on the track and do what he is just doing on their own race... nothing will be affected on our side. it would be nice if we can identify them by their name and see how many laps have they done.

I really like this idea, I don't know if it would be possible to implement but I think this would be a real stand out addition, right up there with the introduction of the live race screen in my opinion. It would definitely go some way towards giving you the feeling that you are racing against your friends even though that isn't actually the case. Maybe limit it to site supporters and only 1 or 2 ghost cars per race to lessen the strain on the servers? Excellent suggestion.

Yeah, I'd also like to select the ability to have Ghosts or not. Ability to select which Teammates/Friends could appear as " Greyed out/seethrough ghosts" on my live race screen in my own group. Sort of your own selection "One big race" type of thing. I'd love it even if it was limited to just a few teammates.

Would be great if a team can be expanded and have a sister team under the one team umbrella matrix.
Or the ability to be able to message both teams under one mail.

Scripts of races are generated 1.5 hours before the actual showing in on Live Screen, so I believe, the server wont be strained too much by importing some Manager's scripts in someone's race. Non supports would enjoy having it too, and would love to see my friends race with me too even in a limited number of 1 to 3, supporters can enjoy it to the a larger number. But thats just what I think.. It will be in no doubt an excellent addition to the game.

There are 293 groups with potential for 11720 managers. IF all of them are fed 3 additional cars in the race that's 35160 additional sets of data to process and transfer
Note: I'm not advocating for or against he suggestion, just noting that 3 might be a bit more than 3 :)

I am not familiar with this kind of concept... But it is really good if we can have two Teams come into agreement of gathering their members to form a bigger one in exchange of Team collected $$$ and/or Supporters Credit on both sides,but will still have the same separate info and list members, seperate Team forums but do have joint forum. In addition to this... It would be good if they can exchange members between end of the Season the first race of the Next Season, to strategically form an "Attacking Team" and "development" Team. It would raise the competition. But all this move should be done in a mutual manner by adding "I acceot" or " and/or "Confirm" bottons to everyone who will be involve in decision and transfers.

You are right! I havent have thought about the potential of those numbers... Thank you for pointing it out, but I strongly believe the 1.5 hours of script generating time would still be enough to process all of these. and again these is just what I believe... Our friends live info can be viewed already in sync with our live race... this will just be an addition to that... make it in to animation.

Interesting Question! I honestly am not familiar with the existing in game calculation that we can base upon or use as a reference... Thank you for asking... Please feel free to voice out your suggestion/ recommanation/addition to it, so that we can form something that will be good and balance to all... including for those who choose to not join a Team.

How if $250,000.00 to gain random driver's hair model also increase 2 motivation and 1 charisma.

I think this is not a question of what needs to be pre-generated before race time but what is needed to be transferred from the server at viewing time. As I see it most of this is already available. We have our team and friends list with the needed lap time already, or add a new ghost list, these can be used to get information how to plot ghost cars. It could be a minor modification.

Sorry that my answer is not based on that idea @Tibor Szuromi. I honestly dont know how much... But I would love it if we atleast can have 1 for free and the next would be fair enough to bought.
but if you are referring to the Formation Team Unions: it would be great if you or someone else can fill us this info. How about near enough to what one manager can get right now from being a member of a team and what points he gives to the team or something that will be fair to all would be very much preferred and appreciated.

It would also be helpful if we can use this to decrease the Points in Charisma and Motivation? like intentionaly irrirate our drivers and destroy their Public appeal, by giving them hairstyles that personally hate and also by the public.

If it would lower my Driver's Motivation by -10 and Charisma by -7... id probably buy it between 400k to 550k.
