Yup. But some guys don't keep up with it. And I think Chris has pretty much dropped it.

But there are about 5 to 10 guys that still do it.

hmm shall i merge the threads of this topic then?

Chris Butcher · Jan 23, 2012

Shame really, this could be a useful tool if people actually used it (myself included)

Chris Butcher · Jan 23, 2012

Notes:

This race, due to subscription issues, is at 50% length, apologies. Round 6 will be 100% Length.

Thread open!

Chris Butcher · Jan 23, 2012

Right chaps - are you guys wanting to continue using the forum to discuss iGP or should we just close it?

Nick Deeley · Jan 23, 2012

So few people here use igp, probably because they're not aware of it or prefer to do the actual racing/driving.

Could be worth keeping open though, it might generate some interest over time.

Danny Asbury · Jan 23, 2012

Well, personally, I look forward to each race. But, yeah, not many people post on the forum...

David Carter · Jan 24, 2012

For some reason, the race length has changed to 50%. Im not fussed personally but I dont know what anyone else thinks of this?

EDIT - I've just read the reason why and it's no problem Chris

Chris Butcher · Jan 24, 2012

resolved for next weeks race though

Running a 2 car team in a league.
Wet race at Monza. 50% dist
Put 1 driver on Wets and 1 stop, he toook pole by 6 sec and won by 2 laps!
Driver 2 put on inters to check them, P2 in quali and 15 sec lead after 2 laps. Pitted her for wets and she was 30 sec down in P2. Gap to P3 90 sec.
Seems all other teams ran a soft tyre with an advanced strategy to go to inters. Theuy stayed with inters despite being lapped twice.
Man I felt like Eddie Jordan at his Spa 1-2.
Moral.
Check weather 30 mins B4 race. If "Rain" vs " Light rain" dont be afraid of wets
If running a 2 car team you can have 1 on wets and 1 on inters and see.

Sparkys will fall this week!!!!

Thank you for the great advice David

Mark Jameson · Jan 24, 2012

Never!

looking forward to the next race.

Also, i thought that the league stays at 100% race's till the end if your sub finish's before the league season does.

Chris Butcher · Jan 25, 2012

Yeah but I was stupid and edited the name of the league slightly, so in turn it edited the distance.

David Carter · Jan 25, 2012

Well my prediction for this week is that Sparkys will win but It will be extreamly close

David Carter · Jan 27, 2012

To anyone who has still got the original staff, I highly recommend getting the most experienced staff possible as you will get better stratergies, better development and fitter drivers.

I hope this helps

Have just been into the commerce facilty. You can enter and make changes to your commercial offerings.
Setting quality and markup levels by product category.
After a couple of races of trying different strategies within each product group we are now up from 400k per race to 520k per race profit from commerce (20 staff assigned).
So with a 10m investment we now have a 1 season payback. Not too bad I guess.

KERs, expensive but effective. Manual operation available to fight those critical battles. Leave some for the last lap!
