2020 Engine Development - Week V
Posted: 02 Feb 2018, 05:55
As you know, each engine has three performance factors:
Engine Power, which is the performance output of your electric motor (Caterham has maxed out this stat
Qualifying Mode, which is the performance boost your engine can produce over a single lap
Reliability, which is the likelihood of your engine to fail
Each point costs €1,000,000 and for any value you are limited to ten points. For the first year, each works team has been given 20 million to account for these costs. From 2020 onwards, the works teams finance developing their engines with their engine contracts: the works team gets 10 percent of the price a customer team pays. This value rises to 20 percent if a team has been with the same manufacturer for three or more consecutive seasons (in the hydrogen era).
As the phrase above implies, teams can from this point on agree on engine supply contracts with the three manufacturers mentioned above. Toyota will start with a maxed-out engine, but cannot sign customers in 2020. Agreements can be made freely with a maximum price of €40,000,000 being the sole limitations. You can add any clauses or agreements you desire. To confirm an engine contract, both sides must inform me of their agreement.
DemocalypseNow, Wizzie and kevinbotz, please post the following formula each week of the process.
You are free to write fluff articles if you wish, but note that these articles will affect nothing inside gameplay.[/quote]
