Didn't manage to sign a new driver and the random driver game selected was the bad one bellow. Fine up to that point. But take a look at his price, 1. 805. 514 salary and additional 2.585.514 signing fee!!!!
For a driver of his attributes???
Is that called a bug or what???

Not a bug. That guy has temper issues, man. ;)
On a serious note, you signed a driver out of the blue. It's expected that the offers may be different to what you usually do. You made your Hülkenberg run to the track to race for you - now pay.

Vladimir he raised my temper to the limits also!!! 🤯😀
Sébastien I wish I knew that last advice of yours before press choose a bad driver for one race.
Although I insist wages to that selection should follow the abilities of the selected bad driver and not be insane!!!
Not signing a driver and race with one so bad already costs too much, no need to blow up someone's economics further more

IF you didn't sign him but instead skipped a race, it would cost even more

Really ? So instead of paying the high sounding salary, you're saying it would've been better to pay more than ~$7,500,000 ??
Some "advice" isn't necessarily advice

Mikko what I am posting as a potential bug is the insane high salary compared to his attributes.
Do you disagree with that point of view?
It is not I was lazy and didn't logged in so I didn't got prepared, I tried sign 2 drivers but my bids were overcomed. So next race I will race it with a bad driver that's OK and fair enough.
I find however wrong estimated service of that driver cost 4.400.000 for just one race.
Ps take into account not only the cost of him and the car parts wear of that lost race but also the damage to my supporters status not only the ones I have but also the others I am dealing with....
In a few words not agreeing with a preferable driver could blow up a whole season-strategy which seems too harsh to mee

You could of bid on say a worse driver than you were hoping but was unlikely to attract bids as a back up to avoid this situation or bid change your driver before it expired to also avoid this situation :)
You were left in a bind, think of it like going to a theme park they have you other a barrel for food and drinks so they can charge you what they want. this driver was your last resort, so also had you over a barrel

I think the goal of this is more that you see that the random driver you got is NOT TO KEEP and as you saw correctly, his salary is way too high for his ability!

Ricardo game indicates that you will sign a BAD driver and I have already wrote is fair enough, so my goal isn't protest that a bad driver isn't a driver I cannot keep. Once more his salary seems too problematic. Am I the only one see it that way?
Peter it is the first time faced with a situation like that and such economic concequinces are not written at any guide. If I knew I would have act the way you suggest above.
So by my posts firstly administrations could exam if the wage of a bad driver for one race can reach that high and secondly reading that posts may help anyone else not to deal same situation

I think you've gotten such responses because you posted in the bug forum (which isn't wrong since you hadn't dealt with this situation before). The responses indicated that it is not a bug and gave some reasons why it works like that. Discussion about whether this is how it should be fits better in the suggestions forum in my opinion. :)

Kosta,part of what makes a driver bad, is the high salary.
You've learned your lesson now.
Next time,save an offer for a bad driver in case your other offers are outbidded and make sure this bad driver will get a contract for 1 race but his salary will be very low.

Considering the 4.3M spend on this driver, and having to spend another 1-1,5M on the next driver (if able to sign), the expenditure could be labelled as excessive, I can see your POV @Konstantinos Ouzounis (P2). But there's always a but ...
His contract was running out and there would have been ample options to sign a follow-up driver, over let's say the last 3 GPs, for instance. Also another "back-up" bid is a valid option to at least be able to dodge such a signing. Such a back-up bid could be the cheapest driver possible, just to get you through the races in which you will be on the hunt for a driver to your liking.
I understand your pain from this, but it's not the first time such a thing has been posted on the Forum. If this is your first experience on this, it surely wasn't the first time this happened in the game.
In short, yes, the expense is hefty maybe even too much, but it's not a bug. For future reference, there are plenty of options available to not get into this situation. Best to keep them in mind ...

Richard, George, Niels thank you all for your reply posts.
Agree with Richard that should move for further discussion on suggestion forum

Peter useful indeed. Contract won't be beneficial isn't clear though. Cause 4.400.000 for a single race doesn't get paid even the elite champion driver! Even half of those would considered much. So argue about abnormal wage to such situation for the bad driver you get remains to my fairness point of view if I can call it that way...
Having a bad driver-"burn" one race disappoint supporters are already fair enough consequences doesn't need add one more so unrealistic.
I am open to read anyone's opinion about my position whether I am wrong about that or not.

Kosta,check your financial analysis.
I am not sure if you paid the signing on fee.
|
|
|
|
What George says, doesn't look like you pay a signing fee for a random sucky driver.
At least not the last time i had one (S64)
Edit: scratch that, just my own books that were cooked (cataloged the sign fee under 'other' rather than 'driver' tsk tsk)
E2: Konstantinos was faster ;)

No need for a screenshot.
I wasn't sure and I don't remember what happened once I had to sign a bad driver.

Would recommend continuing any discussion in an appropriate thread. It isn't a bug so this isn't the best place for it, but there is certainly a debate to be had if a random driver should be as expensive or not - but don't want that debate lost in the bug forum, or bugs being missed due to a discussion on random drivers :)

Looks more like you missed the deadline and therefore called a driver for emergency service.

Do you disagree with that point of view?
Kind'a yeah. If I get called to work for emergency duty I do get triple pay + a fixed sum for taking the call.

I'm guessing he made new offers already, since he didn't get a driver in the previous market.

Quote ( Keith Partridge @ November 23rd 2020,12:15:31 ) Not critical but the same has happened again as we have lost 2 Amateur groups. If you click the right arrow from Amateur 89 you go to Elite not Rookie 1
Same thing again..... From Amateur 87 this time
Again not critical

Hello y'all
I wasn't sure if I was gonna post this but after yet another race of it occurring, thought I'd double check it with everyone here.
So every race this season, my driver has constantly made a mistake the lap after his pitstop at least once. I understand it happening once or twice in a season but not every damned race! I'm using minimum to no risks in these races (0 in fact in the last one and it still happened), virtually 0 aggression and it isn't on a boost lap. This never happened last season when I was in rookie and didn't the season before when I was in Am with the same driver. Happens on a 1, 2 or 3 stop race as well and yeah, just made me think surely it can't be THIS unlucky?!
Could it be a weird bug or is it just absolutely sickening luck? I've never had this before and I just think it looks a little strange is all.
Edit: I hope this is in the right place, didn't know what kind of topic to post it in :D

This is what i call a Cold wheels driver mistake, I have had drivers like that and they improve based on their attributes, if you get those three attributes to an adequate level they will diminish.
IMHO it is not a bug

Well unfortunately not entirely, but it certainly will be lowered.
