Parts take a hit each season when the rules change for them. You just don't see the full details of what has been restricted on a chassis or what those areas of the chassis are like.

How do you mean Adam? If there are rule changes they should all be clear and concise, no place for hidden rules.

Interesting if true. Do we know which parts saw a big change between S3 to S4? There doesn't seem to be anyway to view the previous rules? (they're not visible in the Rulebook under 'Championship';)

Its odd how the parts with many restrictions seem to be my best this season...

I found diffusers and exhausts to be my holy grail this season

Perhaps it's when restrictions are removed that suddenly there's more room for development and current values go down?

This is effectively what happened in the old PW1 development script, if you were unlucky you'd get a double drop.

@Tom: All the restrictions are on the Development page. You can see next season's from when they are announced which is before the end of the current season.

What I meant about not seeing the full details is you don't see where you can have winglets on a front wing for example, likewise, you don't know where you have winglets. You can apply things like this to all the other parts.

Ok the research system has changed again , its not following any logic. I've been investing in parts, which went up after dropping, but then dipped a level after going up. All whilst keeping the same research staff. Things just don't make sense, I officially give in, there's no point working it out when the goalposts change and there isn't an answer!

It's done that to me since day 1 of the system, I remember ranting about my steering system at the beginning of last season...
