This game is an absolute vag of shite, I’ve managed my OA and had to lose 450 points in tonight’s race, bearing in mind I los 50+ points last race, I started worse of admittedly but finished a shed load of Laos behind the leader but didn’t lose enough when I clearly should of. This is an absolute fooking joke and has just cost you a loyal supporter and competitor

Relax, go to bed, maybe have a quick five finger shuffle if you need to - it will not seem so bad in the morning :)

you had to lose 450 points of what? I suspect someone may be drunker than me which is both an achievement and a problem. finishing that much Laos behind the leader is also an achievement and probably an indication of far too much consumption. I hope you wake in the morning with a clear Vietnam, and decide to continue with your Korea (pun intended) in gpro. good luck!

Other factors feed into moti loss (or lack thereof). Sometimes, no matter how many southeast-Asian countries you finish behind the leader, those other elements will give you a concurrent boost.

Not so loyal then?

Jesus christ, so you lost a long term driver.
Just push next race and get a new driver then... you act like it's the worst thing that ever happened to you Andy
|

I was in the exact same boat Andy. Lost a long term driver by 1OA and spoilt my whole plan. But i dug deep, got a new driver, promoted the season after, after pretty much dominating my pro group
There is always a positive to a bad situation. There is loads of great pro drivers on the market

ROFL!!!
Not sure who is running the oscars for S63 but this deserves a quote of the season nomination!!

I doubt you needed to lose 450 moti ;) However, if you have left it to try and lose 95 moti in 2 races, it was an ambitious attempt. Sorry it didn't work out, we have all done it mate.
Time to regroup, make a new plan :)

Nope, but we should really talk about the time you got out of AMA handicaped with only 51M in your pockets and win an Elite race 3 seasons after ;)

Driver OA is 140. You didn't miss this by just a small amount. That's like ~50 Motivations.
I mean, it'd be annoying if you were just a few short... but this is a botch, mate, not a game problem.

Because this whole philosophy of needing 100m to survive its baloney :P It helps yes, but so long as you are positive you have more than enough :P
And i don't even think its possible to lose 250 motivation in 2 races. Reckon 4 is the minimum, there are ways of doing it in less, but yeah, it was doomed to fail before you started

Quote ( Kyle Morris @ February 7th 2018,01:16:32 ) And i don't even think its possible to lose 250 motivation in 2 races. Reckon 4 is the minimum, He started last season, as a matter of fact. He used R 15, 16 & 17 last season and got p22, p18, p25 respectively. BUT, he got pole on the 3 of those (Andy, attend that BUT because it does have a point)
This season again he got a pole R1, 2nd row for R2. And race results 38th and 36th.
I am not surprised he did not succeed to drop the full 250 motivations points his driver had. Maybe Andy might want to do some benchmarking and check my S34 and 35, where I could successfully drop all driver motivation. Paid a price for that, too.

Its what happens when i don't do the research ;) but yeah, main problem is qualifying too high

I've lost already 4 drivers for over-training before promo season, or before extend his contract, instead of giving him a proper development while building wealth. I'm clear now training and MOT drop has to be carefully planned, and to expect big drops in MOT and OA you have to take some gambles, be patient and even "stink" a while in races.
My former drivers have become good options and gave high rewards for other guys, by the way. So I've learned and keep going.
Of course, if you fail, start over again and do it better next time, if loyalty and love for the game is really that high.

Oops, bit embarrassing :O Oh please let this be true! Not only is it utterly hilarious but also he gets to keep his driver, win win for everyone who reads this thread :D

Well, 136 to 140 in a few minutes can only be product of a re-sign :D

I must admit I had had a couple of sherberts when I posted my initial comment, hence the over use of fat fingers, particularly the 450 figure, extra 0 inserted and the reference to Laos.
Now I've read it, it is actually quite funny and does deserve the mickey taking it got 😁
I also did realise I could train down to 135 but the chance of a 2nd re-sign is very, very unlikely and it looks like a shed load of development is now down the tubes.
The only differences between race 1 and race 2 were I didn't start from pole and I finished 35th and not 38th, which I don't believe should have effected the anticipated Moti loss that much, it was 20 points less than race 1.

This topic is gold :)
I'd say this is a learning curve Andy. I'd have heart palpitations if I left myself 1 race to drop 45moti when I've had a driver for 4+ seasons etc.
I'm sure you're fully aware of the motivation changes in this game but certain things will certainly assist you in losing 45moti.
Just a tip for future don't have a holiday is asia and decide to start on pole lol.
Onwards and upwards. You'll be able to try and pick him up again in 3 race or so. Bring in a driver with FTs. Laughing.
Hold on. You've done a re-sign? Then no need to worry my friend. Get that moti down in next 2 races. Piece of piss lad.

Come on Andy - you should know by now that all these problems are actually Mark Wright's fault - make sure you tell him so in the strongest possible terms in the VP team forum ;)

I must admit when I read some of the comments I couldn't help but raise a smile.
Michael, I got the re-sign but I wanted another one, looks like i'll just have to promote this season instead of next, hmmm like that's going to happen.
And Mr Goodey you are correct, it must be Mark's fault and he will most certainly be told :-)

Why though? How close to the OA limit are you?
You can lose that 50 moti in 2 races. Easy promo next season .

Quote ( Michael Keeney @ February 7th 2018,14:39:50 ) Why though? How close to the OA limit are you? Awfully close. Had he dropped OA down to 135 after driver training and he was meant to avoid it. But now, due to that 1 training session, even if he drops all the moti next race, OA might still be a smidgen over the 135 mark due to the additional 2 agro points he'll gain.
It's the R16 last season that's done it, Andy should've finished at the rear of the pack instead of the p18 he got.
Not all is lost yet. ;)
