Hi Jack,

Just a weird, Can we have some concept where if a Manager is having multiple teams (Profile) then he can make a group of those teams.
Further looking forward they can swap the Drivers internally (of course you can keep some penalty) within the team like RedBull & Toto Roso did in case of Maxxi & Kvyat , if required can help another team with Parts, Engine, (not mandatory), the one actually i'm looking for Finances.
I'm having 2 teams out of those 2 one is financially established, but another team is struggling financially to sustain in competition by the means of development of HQ n all.

I agree this must be huge to ask, but just initiating an idea for the future ;)

This would leave the game wide open to abuse and make finance/the transfer market redundant imo.

A driver in a team which isn't in a league doesn't age and doesn't draw a salary, with a connected 'training team' you can always have available a fully trained young driver. Even with some sort of penalty it would still be tempting.

As for transfer of finance, what would stop someone creating throwaway teams and transfering the credits as many times as they want?

I am with IB here - i think its an idea that is open to huge abuse and goes against most of what this game is about. That said, the idea of being able to 'short cut' from team to team on the same login screen might be useful for those who are running more than 1 team. I just wouldn't want to see driver transfer/fund transfer/token transfer as an option.

This is why we never allowed trading in the old iGP and why it's still restricted to something which costs tokens but doesn't award tokens in transfers in the new iGP. Any kind of marketplace on accounts will be open to abuse, and before we can add any such features there will need to be strong regulations and checks in place. It's a bit of an engineering nightmare, so it's not on our list at the moment.

If allowing multiple teams under one account were to be permissible...

The only way it should be allowed is by allowing the creation of up to two teams under one account. No merging/grouping accounts business. Whether or not finances could be transferred would still be an issue. Perhaps if both teams were in the same league, for at least one season. (Now that's messy)

If finances are a huge issue, there's only two free options:

1) start over with a new account

or

2) let all driver and staff contracts expire, allow the system to auto-sign the cheapest staff, and switch to the cheapest suppliers. Sign with the correct sponsors. Then drop the account into an every day league and allow the account to recover its financial losses and move into a nice profit margin.

Of course, this is obvious, but this is for anybody else who feels like mentioning merging accounts or transferring cash/tokens between them.

I agree with answers here and I think this is not a good idea, however we are a lot of managers with 2-3 teams and that would be great to virtually link our teams without all kind of bonuses Sandeep listed. That would be in the same way we can see followers of a twitter account, for example :

PS : Of course we would be able to show or hide our related teams.
