Research and Development balance

Recommended Posts

Isn't the point of a career mode to leave the evolution of the sport in the player's hands? Surely it's not an issue if a Renault is fighting for wins a few seasons in?

Then why is it that the R&D upgrades aren't balanced? Upgrades should be more substantial for the worse cars. It would make sense that if two cars have all the available upgrades for a certain department, they would be equal in that respect - that's kinda the point of a career mode, progressing up the grid with your favourite team, and fight for championships?

Then why is it a fully-upgraded McLaren Honda engine will still be 10kmh down on a Ferrari engine without any upgrades at all? That makes absolutely no sense. Sauber, McLaren, Renault, Toro Rosso, and Red Bull will NEVER have an equal engine to Merc/Ferrari, even with all the upgrades for it? It's incredible that no-one in the studio thought this would be an issue? If you're in one of the worse cars, you're gonna have to defend your positions in a very unrealistic (and frankly, illegal) manner, no matter how much you try to improve your car - that's terrible...
