An Idea for Career (Driver Switches)

Recommended Posts

So i know a lot of people are trying to get the FOM to allow Retired Drivers and Rookie (New drivers) to come in to the championship during your season... but thats not happening any time soon... a way we could get around it is using the teams Test Drivers and having them race full time (Take Vandoorne For Ex) and we could also have like lower ranked racers come up and compete in the F1 Championship (Under the team that they race for in lower leagues)... And maybe if a racer has problems the test driver can come in to race for them! Just a whole lot of ideas!!!  :)

They can't because of the formula 1 licence.
Aarava explain it in his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3vF-K3FmGg
It starts from 8min.
He knows it because he directly asked codemaster, from what he says.

Yes! I would think it's a great idea to also add reserve drivers to the game. For sure with a 10 season career it would be more realistic if some current drivers retired and be replaced by rookies at some time in career.

agreed it could happen in th future perhapos if the FOM loosen the noose around the r4estrictions but right now however it's a no go.

I know i follow aarava... i saw this entire vid... but he never mentioned test drivers though...
In his video he talks about driver transfers not allowed in game. What you propose is  clearly included in it, sorry :/

Yeah I just modded 2015 to add my own name in and change drivers around then kept it as s spreadsheet so I could do a sort-of career mode.

Edit: didn't finish my thought, you would just have to use the ELE editor tools and mod it if you wanted that.

In 10 years is Max Verstappen just 28 years old. 

Raikoinnen and Button 46 years old.  hmm that is old for an f1 driver

You can't include ANY driver switches because of FOM.

There was so much that could not be in the game because of FOM when F1 2010 that is now in the game. Surely test drivers could be added. It's just a bunch of extra resources that don't add anything trivial to the game as most people will not play 10 seasons.

What about just adding the reserve drivers helmets to the helmet selection screen in the creation menu? I get that Codies can't have driver swaps in career mode but what if you wanted to play as Ocon or Gasly or any of the young guys on the fringe of getting in and simulate their career?
