Dont find answer to this. If i have a driver over 85 in rookie and contract left, do i loose him anyway at the reset? Or is it only that i cant offer new contract?

IF you stay in rookie, you will lose him

IF you promote, then you can keep him


The only thing that rookie managers get to keep between the seasons is the driver if his overall does not exceed 85.

Just to clarify: that's "Rookie reset" and it's only for rookie to keep things more or less equal. It does not apply to other groups. In other group levels things do not get reset

Ok, then i dont train him this season, just started, only done one race, so i want to do at least one or two full seasons in rookie before trying to go up.

Train your driver and you will discover how different trainings affect your driver skills.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Rookie is the best place to learn about the game. It doesn't matter how many mistakes you make, those mistakes are cleared on the reset at the end of the season.

Once you are confident you have learnt enough to move forward, start playing to aim for promotion. In amateur, mistakes will punish you for sure.

Be careful because your driver can increase in OA even if you don't train him.

Ok, was thinking to keep him at 85 to next season and then test with training and stuff, so i get in to full season, but if he goes up, then i try to find a new one at the end of season.

Want a rookie advice? I just promoted to ama, so i remember rookie level pretty freshly :)

Why care about his OA? Why don't you go after a driver with 70-75 OA? Then you can train him and test this season, you will find some interesting things and you might just be able to keep him for the next one. OA doesn't give him speed by itself.

Well i dont care about OA was most thinking if i keep him next season. But decided to try out some training, if he goes up then i take another at the end of season. Tested technic and he go up in OA. I test something else after the race. Better to use even this season to test different things and then get new driver for next season.

Driver OA=85?

Motivation above 50?

You may have an alternative approach to keeping your driver.

Motivation is only 21.

Just make sure you log everything! The best way to learn about this game is simply saving your data and looking for patterns imo.

I don't understand ... I'm also in Rookies for my first seasson, I've got a driver on 90 and I know I am going to loose him at the end of the seasson. Where is the problem? It's only for learning, next seasson you'll have a new driver who can get over 85 in three or four races if you do things properly. Now you can train your driver and explore the beneffits you can obtain by doing it!

Okay, that's clear now, I only didn't understand why you had a problem loosing your driver at the end of the seasson.

You can hire hire a new driver before next race. Or after the reset, before the first race next season

After next race comes the reset, your money will be re set and you will be assigned a new random driver (i your has an OA above 85)

So to hire a new one with the money you got now, you have to do it before next race

Better get the new driver before next race. But make sure the drivers OA doesn't jump over the limit

no, not during this season

The next opportunity will come start of next season, market(s) before R1

How long the contract will be for the randomly assigned driver after the season reset?

Are you absolutely sure about that ?

Because AFAIK the random driver is assigned only to new account rookies. The rest have to sign their drivers themselves. Ofc there will be the option to sign a random (bad) driver if they don't get one from the market
