So you’ve signed up, been accepted, logged in – and now you’re thinking “What the hell do I do now?” The initial temptation is to go straight into “Update Car” or “Facilities” and spend all your money on making your car instantly faster. This is a huge no-no. The Rookie league especially, is meant as an introduction to the game and to teach people how they will need to manage their finances if they wish to progress and be successful in this game. In Rookie your driver is your number one priority. He can very easily be the one factor that single-handedly changes your fortunes to finishing 1st instead of 20th. There may even be people who will dominate their leagues and earn promotion, simply because of their sensational driver without even bothering to upgrade their car. This of course is great, but extremely dangerous – as people who do this will be in for a rude awakening if they attack Amateur with a car 3+ levels lower than everyone else. By all means sign a fantastic driver – but please don’t let him earn promotion for you alone. Still continue to upgrade your car throughout the season (only when parts are worn out of course) and save cash whenever you can. In order to be able to progress in GPRO you will need to collect as much information as possible. Suggestions for data to be collected are the details from the Race Analysis Screen (this will give you your fuel usage and tyre wear information), your car part wear, your driver stats (from the Driver Training screen) and the race temperature (as this also affects tyre wear). Car part wear data will enable you to know when to replace different car parts while fuel and tyre data will enable you to plan better strategies for the races ahead. Before we move on to qualifying for the race we need to talk about getting your car setup sorted out. In setting your car up for a race you get 8 practice laps in order to find your 'perfect' car setup. This isn’t as easy as it may sound as your driver may actually be happy with the car setup even if it isn’t 'perfect'. So it's raining again, it might be Q1, Q2 or the race but it has suddenly gone all wet. So what? Well for a start you should think about putting some wet weather tyres on. The other main thing is that your car setup will be different in the wet to the dry. How much you would need to find for yourself for instance by comparing your setup from a dry testing session with your setup from a wet testing session. So you have done your two qualifying laps and now you need to specify your race setup and get your strategy sorted out. The race itself you get to just watch if you want to. By this point there is nothing you can do to affect the outcome, this means that the same result will come if you watch the whole race, watch bits of the race or if you miss the whole race. When you join the game you are given a sponsor for 10 races worth 1 Million per race. This is also the case in Rookie after a season reset. It is up to you to get additional sponsors in place. There are 8 different priorities that can be used when testing. When you do testing it will cost you $1mill and make your car parts wear. You will get 10 testing stints and a maximum of 100 laps over the 10 stints. Whilst in rookie the only things you may wish to upgrade are the Pit Stop Center & the Commercial center. The rest of these facilities relate to how testing points are converted into car character points. Comments are closed.
