Thanks everyone. It's a real shame this stuff isn't documented. I've had a super busy week so haven't had a chance to reply to your posts but I'm just not convinced there's a drawback from shutting down a factory if there are no developments in progress for that department. I do know it doesn't affect morale - I have my reasons for this beyond just a guess, may explain why later. However, I do feel it's harder to accumulate resource points (dev points... the points that allow you to buy car development) than F1 2109. I'll try running a few races not closing any factories and we'll see what happens. FWIW, I chose Loop as my main sponsor. I didn't realize that by playing fairly I wouldn't be able to get 5 points finishes for the season when I chose them, with my team being 2nd or 3rd worse in performance. So, 19-20 or 17-18th place depending on track. So to get my bonus I lowered the AI at the end of the season and did get my big bonus. I chose aero and the Merc engine as my focus preseason FWIW.

Thank you for the response. Interesting that you say it's negligible, all I know is I never have enough money to do what I want. Said another way, unless you were somehow given a billion dollars, then you have to wait race after race, month after month to get your facilities upgraded. So it seems like saving money would help me upgrade the facilities sooner.

I don't see any questions about My Team mode; crazy! I have a bunch but only seem to remember them while in game and of course without the game in front of me I'll struggle to remember enough details. But let me start with at least one. 1. for Facilities upgrades, if I "upgrade" the 2nd driver facility to improve 2nd drivers stats, does this remain with only my current 2nd driver or any future 2nd drivers too? 2. What's going on with tires in 2020 vs 2019. When I select balanced, if I don't run a hard and soft in both P1 and P2, I end up with only softs in P3. This is silly. I have no need or interest in running softs in P1 because I'm using my older engine anyway. So, I'm guessing they switched out a medium for a soft for the balanced set? 3. Shutting down factories. At this point, it seems like one can save money by shutting them down and you only need to leave open a factory if there's a part in development? Does anyone know of a page or walkthrough for this and maybe just My Team in general? TIA!

Does anyone know if CM has a thread or section for bug reports or feature requests? Maybe I just couldn't find it?

You say "no more". Are you saying there is now already a tab in there that has the sectors now? Or just don't fix it that way. I did first think to have it on the timings screen but there doesn't seem to be any room for it.

I don't remember seeing that but it isn't what I'm hoping for anyway. I do use the mini map but don't remember seeing the sectors. Does that show up on the pause screen? I'm looking for a sector map when I'm back in the pit, comparing my lap times to other drivers. When I see I'm faster or slower in a sector I'd like to click a tab (Overview tab) and just go straight to it. It would be such a simple thing for them to do. They've got a track map there already, just put the damned sectors on it. 🙂 It just seems like such a stupid thing to overlook on their part. There's a reason for sector times and as it is now, I have to Alt Tab out of the game to utilize this information.

Sorry, I looked for a sticky for this but couldn't find it. Also, I used search to see if this had been requested but again, nothing. I'd REALLY REALLY love to see the game show track sectors. Like, I'm in career mode, looking at lap times for other drivers, comparing my sector times to theirs but I have to Alt tab out of the game to go download a picture of the track's sectors. Seems REALLY easy to do and I just don't get how this was overlooked. Thanks!

Yep, I was so happy about my progress with my iRacing license (about 8 years ago), but in the end I just couldn't take it anymore, being crashed out by some moron behind me late in a race. I tried online with the NBA 2k games years ago, just have a bunch of 3 point spammers that exploit some weakness in the game. A month ago, for the first time I tried F1 2019 online and raced about 8 races (ranked/unranked lobbies, can't remember) and in every one I was crashed out by some a hole from behind. I had a few races where I was about to finish on the podium but nope, somewhere on the last lap a holes come along and torpedo me. I was SO FURIOUS words can't describe it. Let's just say I injured my hand in my fury. Done. NO MORE ONLINE anything ever. Well, first person shooters like Battlefield work okay online but I just don't have interest in playing them these days.
