So then, the 50 million dollar question...

Say a chassis has reached its potential of Bad, when designing a brand new chassis is it best to base it on this bad chassis so that you dont lose what you have already put in? Will it improve this way?

Or is it best to start a new chassis completely from scratch even though it could potentially be terrible?

I guess if aomebody has a superb chassis then it's best to base any future chassis on that.

Start again. You can only polish a turd so much.

Besides, isn't starting a new chassis as much a gamble as basing it on a 'superb' chassis?

The next season base on the 'superb' can still end up 'terrible', though the % is less I guess.

If your chassis is only at Bad, then I would build a new one, because there's more room above Bad than there is below it.

I'd also be looking for a new designer or 2 ;)

if its stats are bad but potential is good - then base next one on this - however if potential is bad and you have now reached this it wont get any better

This is were I design 2 chassis; a new one & one based on the current chassis.

This way I don't drop or move backwards while I can see the new chassis development and see if its worth developing or starting a another new one!!

Cheers guys. I think im going to go down Roberts route if i get time and develop multiple chassis. Im worried about dropping to a really really bad chassis so by doing it this way i should be able to cover things.

Its funny as this season chassis is pretty bad but then again i did take a risk by going aggressive...

Designing two separate chassis at the same time can still be a waste, it all depends on what your stats and potential are like across the board. I work on whatever part(s) offer the most potential improvement or the most needed improvement.

Mind you I've made 5 chassis designs for this season so far, and I'm nowhere near finished yet. Haven't even thought about s3 yet :p as with RL Motorsport, you sit still then you go backwards.
