I have a suggestion for a new addition to GPRO.

If you have a female driver, you should have to pay a small fee (say maybe $10,000 a race) to cover the costs of birth control, or else face a small chance that your driver can get pregnant (the exact odds of this can be FOBY).

Now if your driver does get pregnant, there are a few disadvantages. The most immediate of which is the increase of your driver's weight progressively throughout the season, perhaps by 2kg per race or something like that. The next disadvantage is an increase in the chance of a "sick in the helmet" random. You also must pay full compensation to your driver for the remainder of their contract if you release them due to their pregnancy.

Now the season following your driver's pregnancy you would get a message along the lines of Your driver is taking the season off to be with her new child. Please find a new driver." Now for that season you would have to that driver maternity leave as well, say 50% of their previous salary.

Now while your driver is pregnant if they happen to have a startcrash they could have a miscarriage, and this would result in the driver dropping to 0 moti for the remainder of the season.

I think this would add further strategic and financial management aspects to the game.

Aggressiveness should go up to 250 and then go down to 0 between races (maybe even during races).

Charisma should slightly increase when she gets her pregnancy boobs but then it should decrease a lot.

How about - your driver has been caught being a naughty boy with one of the pit babes, his partner is not happy and his motivation drops to zero!

Surely this would raise serious legal questions regarding your liability as an employer. Did you even consider this, or this another half-baked attempt at "improving" the game without thinking twice about the potential consequences?

George, this sounds to me like a very sad attempt at a joke on April fools. And in poor taste too, if I may add.

Why do women have to be your target by attacking their ability to give life and then going even further and suggesting that the female driver "could have a miscarriage" during a start accident.

Have a little bit of empathy next time please. This is a very sensitive subject to many people.

Thanks and STAY CLASSY GPRO. ;-)

No Kevin, there are no limits to comedy, you either find it funny or you don't. If you were not allowed to joke about something that SOMEONE may find offensive there would be no such thing as comedy.


Max agg for an abortion sounds funny to me, sorry/not sorry.

in contrary to pregnancy for female drivers, you might add marriage for male drivers. once the get married, you hace to pay a single fee of 2.000.000, for 2 seasons (the wife wants a wedding on maldives), their moti gets immediately to 250. but their moti will sink every race, first -2, second race -3, third race -4. after 2 seasons they get divorced and they get +100 moti boost (for living in freedom again) and +150 aggro (they have to pay the ex-wife), plus their salary increases +100.000 as they are not able to pay the wife by themselves.

No no no, let's bring back the good old tradition where it's the bride's family that has to pay the dowry. :)

Sheesh.... Sam, that's just weird. or as Kirsty would say... Blurgh

I'm sure she would 'enjoy' this topic. :)

However, Sam that would raise her motivation, not having to race with a belly full of baby or feeding at the race start.

You're not a divorce lawyer are you, Martin?

i would want - stats for if the driver is a believer or atheit. While an atheist driver have more motivation, a Believer does receive a random boost from time to time.

How 'bout we can give small donations to charity and in return we may/or not have a boost in charisma?

Spiritual random acts of Gpro racing? This whole idea is way too expensive in the end.

Like real life you lose and you lose and... yeah, you lose it all. She drives off with the BMW bearing the licence plate WAS-HIS and you pay the alimony.

I say lets do this. But, if we gonna do this then the guys must get an even biiger bonus because when they (we) divorce the barefooted and pregnant female and she gets that one male hatting attorney and gets child and alimony we'll need that bonus to survive.
