indeed its possible. But probably not advisable but not outside the realms of possibility
|

Yes, it's possible. But you may want to make sure to plan certain aspects of qualifying properly beforehand.
I would say it's a good idea considering that your current driver has high motivation.

If your current driver has very low talent and the one you will sign has very high talent, then it might be advisable for the next race. But there are more stats that may affect the pace of each one driver. What Kyle answered stands for most of the cases in my opinion.

Possible? Yes! Adviseable as some suggest above? Well, that depends on your own skills & possibly tools, although a high talented driver as George suggested certainly helps ;) (but as he said as well, there's more driver attributes that affect pace... )

you can, up to Q2 and new driver !!!!! more important is what is your idea?
ok, I looked ....
do Q2 too, and refine the setup, for the new one.

Okay this triggered me again and I looked too.
You are currently top of your league with no option to avoid promotion unless to go negative (which will result in relegation so no option either) and a 1 race driver contract (without possibility to extend).
1st of all poor, no really poor, no piss poor planning! Which is key in this game.But I think you figured that out by now ;)
2nd What do you want for near future? Promote & relegate immediately to prepare a driver to do better again is a totally acceptable strategy; Velske won his 1st Elite title with something simular ;) OR a driver to continue current season which you have to replace eventually next season at whatever given time, to make you sustain in Pro next season??

Lauren Earnest, responding objectively: it is possible. However, I think it should only be recommended if you have any tools to adjust the car settings for the new driver.

@Jay De Snoo (P11) indeed , it is poor plan . 2- promotion is guaranteed by now , so just a driver to finish the season. 3- it didn’t work with the same driver from Rookie to AMATEUR ( the overall under control ) but another attributes are not . i assume, it is not impossible to sign new driver in PRO and sustain. i have seen many many manager doing that . for example check ( PRO 4 ) the lead manager ger Gommans .

Mr. Gommans is on a crazy strategy tbh. Not the best example to follow, nor easy to pull off without a great deal of precise planning. (Used to consider him a rival back in S76, now he is too far ahead. T_T )
But yes, with the right driver it is possible and since finances are not an issue for you, I think there's plenty of time to prepare a driver by end of S80.
Anyway, it's just an opinion of someone who hasn't even been to Pro yet. There might be others who can help way better. :D

I've twice won a pro race with a driver fresh off the marketplace.
S76 R1 and S78 R1.

@George Togas (P8) to be good manager is not to pay people what they deserve, but to take from them the best they can .

I signed a new driver in pro for 17+17 many years back and promoted to master in the 2nd season many years back.

why exactly it is wrong.
For all the "reasons" and precautions described above. I have no idea because I'm always doing wrong things, like hiring the "wrong" driver in the "wrong" moment. But no regrets.
There is only one "right" way to play this game. Ask any veteran or any of the faithful followers..

Yes, and that is to listen to advice, not to be stubborn, not to complain that any aspect of the game you don't like is 'broken', and not to assume that successful players exist solely to persecute new ones.
