More news about Formula 1!

Hi mates, this time we are going to present many features for you. Some of those features have been already launched and you are able to check them straight away but you can read also something about coming and planned features from this news.

First about drivers contracts. Now every team is able to create contracts for drivers and drivers are able to accept those contracts. Team managers can go to Manage Drivers screen and decide the contract details. Every contract is only for next season and that is the maximum length of one contract. On the contract selected signing bonus will be paid immediately and if the signing bonus is negative then drivers pays money to the team. There is also possibility for coins signing bonus. These coins are paid from the team's donated coins where owners of the team have donated coins. You can find your driver's contracts from the new window under the Formula 1 page which is called Offers.

You have been able to select suppliers for next season for some time. If you are team manager then go to the suppliers screen and click wanted supplier and you will see details of that part. Under of the details you can find the way to create deal with that supplier for the next season. If you don't have money enough to get all needed parts then you can still make a contract with the worst supplier to get those parts. You have to pay those parts too so team's budget may go to negative or if they balance is already negative then balance goes even lower and this is not the good thing. If you can't pay to the employees their wages then they will leave the team.

Team managers are also able to make their pit crew ready if they want. Of course this is not so important for now because races haven't start yet. First you need to select mechanics on Manage employees screen and then you are able to pick their positions on the pitstops. Both drivers will use the same team during the pitstops so that's why you can't create two pit crews.

Managers are also able to donate their voting points for the teams. Formula 1 teams can use these points to get more money for their budget for the next season. Maximum amount of money for the team is 3M. Teams cab decide on themselves how many voting points they want to use for the next season and how many points they want to save for later seasons. Managers can donate points on Promote the Game screen and there under Vote for Us! subsection. On that same screen you are able to get those voting points by voting us on the sites which are on the right side of that screen.

We are going to publish sponsors pretty soon, hope so during this weekend. There will be one general sponsor for the team which will give to the team around 40% of the all sponsors income. Then there will be two normal sponsors which will give to the team around 20% of all sponsors income. There will be also three small sponsors which will give to the team rest 20% of all sponsors income. So teams are going to get some more money soon from the signing bonuses from those sponsors. Teams are not going to get weekly payments from sponsors during this season.

We are also going to open feature to use drivers employees on the team. The maximum number of employees from owners/drivers will be still 10. However if team's driver is owner of other team already and some of the driver's employees are already used by the team which manager owns then those employees can't work for the team where the driver is driving.

Many of Formula 1 owners have asked to see who donated voting points to their team so this feature is almost done and will be published soon. Another asked feature was fan chat for the teams, we can tell to you that this feature is also coming soon.

We have received 8 applications for F1 commisioner place. DebiK will choose soon the best 4 of them and then team managers will vote for their favorite one. Just to remind you that the commisioner will handle all the weird scenarios during the season which may come.

That's all today, good luck! :)
