Thanks for the advice. Season 2 was a bit lacklustre, with no real improvements made, however I managed to invest in a test track end of season 2, and then in season 3 I produced a couple of risky engines/gearbox which I didn't use to carry over good stats into season 4 which has started quite well. Though I did dip down to 4.8M in the red for a while at the end of season 3. Points for the top 8 only got voted in, despite me voting x3, however it seems to be working to my advantage as I promised 6th place for the season and after 3 races with 2 podiums and both (highly marketable) drivers in the points in all 3 races I am currently lying 2nd. Marketability is currently at 4 stars and I have a pay reserve driver. All bodes well for a decent finish in season 4 and then hopefully push for promotion season 5.
