Manufacturers
First job is you need is to pick a manufacturer. The next post will contain all the information you need to know about all the manufacturers you can choose from (apart from their precise budget, as only you and I will know that after you choose your manufacturer). Manufacturers will be picked on a first come, first served basis. There is a range of manufacturers with differing budgets, so you may choose a big manufacturer in order to achieve instant success, an iconic one which hasn't had the most success in the past few seasons, or a smaller one, and bring them to the top. These are the available manufacturers (More might be available depending on signups)
- Ford (TAKEN)
- Citroen (TAKEN)
- Hyundai
- Toyota (TAKEN)
- Volkswagen
- Mini (TAKEN)
- Skoda (TAKEN)
- Mitsubishi (TAKEN)
- Subaru (TAKEN)
- Peugeot (TAKEN)
- Renault (TAKEN)
- Opel (TAKEN)
- Suzuki (TAKEN)
- Honda (TAKEN)
- Seat (TAKEN)
- Proton
Driver Scouting
The driver database for this game is pretty big. There is, in total, 213 drivers you can sign. Lot's of drivers you probably have never heard off. Some may not even want a full time WRC contract, and may want to compete in one off events or even special events. This is why you have a free scouting round. You can scout 15 drivers (for free) and you will get a load of information of them. Their minimum wage, their expectations, full time, part time and so on or so forth.
Any other drivers you want to scout will cost you £50,000.
Car Building
WRC cars cost £800,000 to build. For a works team, you can build a maximum of four cars.
Rally Raid cars cost £500,000 to build. You can build a maximum of five cars for a works team.
Driver Signing/Special Events
Next up is to sign drivers. Now there is a few steps you need to follow.
1- Sign up to three full time drivers
Depending on how many cars you've built, you need up to sign three drivers who will compete full time in the championship (So if you built one WRC car, you can only sign one driver). You will make an offer on the drivers you want. They will automatically accept the highest bid. There may be a few rounds of signings until all works teams have filled their seats.
2- Sign part time drivers (only applicable if you built 4 cars)
If you have four cars, you can then sign drivers to race for you part time. They can't score championship points, but they can earn you some money. To place a bid, you need to do the following.
1- State the driver name
2- State for how many rallies they will compete in.
3- State which rallies they will compete in.
Part timers can only compete in seven rallies a season, but you can have more than one part time driver. You can't have two part timers competing in the same event. The wage they will receive depends on how many rallies you decide to offer them. If you offer them seven, then their wage will be 50% of the stated price. Drivers will pick the contract with the most rallies available to them.
3- Sign Special Event Drivers
Next up is your special event lineup. You can sign any one from the driver list, and you only pay 25% of their minimum wage for the three events if your signing them for Rally Raid. The two special rallies, you only need to pay 20% of their minimum wage. If more than one person bids for the same driver, then a bidding war will begin. You can sign up to five rally raid drivers and up to four special rally drivers.
You can enter your full time drivers into these events free of charge!
Tyre Manufacturers
The next job is to sign a deal with a tyre manufacturer. Each manufacturer will have different stats, but can only supply to four works teams. The tyre manufacturers are;
- Michelin
- DMACK
- Pirelli
- Bridgestone
- Goodyear
Their stats will remain hidden until the season start or if you sign with one of them.
They will have a minimum price, but you can bid as much as you want on them. Top three bids on each manufacturer will secure yourself a deal with them. Privateers will also get to use them as well.
Preseason/Testing
Before the season starts, you can do up to 10000KM of testing (each KM costing £200). You can split it into the following categories
- Snow Performance
- Gravel Performance
- Tarmac Performance
- Aero
- Durability
In between rallies, you can do 2000KM of testing (each KM costing £400)
For Rally Raid Cars, you can do 5000KM before each event (each KM costing £400). You can split it into the following categories
- Low Altitude Performance
- High Altitude Performance
- Durability
If you want to do rally raid testing between rally events, then you can use your 2000KM for Rally Raid instead.
You can also pick any of the drivers you have under contract to test for them. Better drivers may improve your car more, but you could use the miles to train your young driver
Privateers
Teams
Privateer teams will randomly select drivers that will compete for them, and they can compete in up to seven rounds of the championship. However, they will be looking for a car to race with. You can approach a team before season start, making an offer to supply them cars. This is a good way of making some profit. Once you make an offer, then the teams will evaluate all of their options. They will pick the cheapest offer. In the event of two manufacturers both offering the same, then a bidding war will begin, with the team that gives the lowest offer winning. If your offer is too high, then a team may reject and negotiate if it's the only offer they have.
Drivers
Before each event, there will be a list of drivers who want to make a solo entry. You will repeat the process with them. If they already have entered an event using your car, then they will use the same car for the next rally they compete in.
