Driver contract

I needed to post here, for some assistance, and possibly suggestions. I've been trying to hire a new driver, but I cannot sign them because despite offering them the position of Driver 1, I cannot raise the wage above 1,250,000, and because of this, they will not accept.

I admit that it's a ludicrous amount to pay for a driver, but I'm adamant on having this particular driver, and I'm wondering whether I can be helped with this, or whether I can suggest being able to increase the wage I can pay :)

Is there a reason given why he rejected?

Not wage related, but comment on him [assuming you have done this already] , you can then do it again after 5 races. I'm pretty sure theres "something" that checks where you are in the championship, as i've had drivers reject me for a number of reasons [wages, relationship with me, how competitive team is]

or pm me a link to him and i'll see if he rejects my contract as well :)

I'm pretty sure that he can only accept a contract from me, and the relationship doesn't matter in this particular case. The only thing that the driver says, is that he expects a better wage, which is something I can't give him if it limits it to that much :P

I'm trying not to give away too much information, because it may be able to give me a slight edge...although I doubt it xD

cant you just manually backspace the offer and type out something higher?

no there is an upper limit [1,250,000 i think] i assume it was to stop people exploiting etc, but looks like no1 has been high enough level for a driver to request more than that amount [until now]

Oh right, I wasn't aware of that. My bad.

Any news on this?

Can i please have a driver name?

What good would that do? :P

O just for the future, checking etc

Well, for now, I'm keeping the driver in question hidden, and I'm sure you'll understand why ;) - I'd be happy to send the driver information to Andrew or Jack obviously, if they need it to see where the problem lies.

That's been sent now, thanks Jack.

Fantastic - I think I'll try my hand at hiring this driver then, and see what happens :)

i know who it is i think LOL, secrets safe with me though

Well, you should tell me who you think it is - but it is about to be announced on Speed Series news :D

You sir, are a git :)

We don't stand a chance next season

That's the hope ;) lol - I still think I'll have some tough competition from a certain Mr. Brady though...

But Jack, a level 14 driver should ask more, somewhere above 2 million wage I reckon. Look at GPRO and their insane demands. Here, you simply can't waste money. Not to mention you can mock the system, if you have a lot of money. You can fire a driver and immediately rehire him.

And to Jamie's case. Why Davies accepted to race for him again, after being dumped ? He should have asked more ! I would.
