Hi all. Just been looking at my finances and im trying to figure out how bonuses are decided....

Each Driver/Staff Member will receive a win bonus if 1 car wins the race, however if the second car comes in on the podium would the Drivers/Staff also receive the bonus payment for that result too? Im hoping they dont all receive the bonus payments for a win, podium, and points when a race is won as that would be a bit daft.

Anyone clarify for me?

Cheers

i think it counts for both cars

looking at my bonus' paid, this week i paid 1M for a win. (one car failed to finish).

a few weeks ago when i had a 1-2 it was 1.5M. So the .5M had come from podium payments

Thanks Luke. I guess it makes sense that both cars results are taken into account, just means i might have to slow down one of my cars to finish off a podium and save some cash every now and then, cant afford for my bonuses to outweigh my prize money lol!

I've always understood, and never seen anything in my finances to disagree, that the staff bonus comes from the highest placed driver. Then the lower placed driver gets a bonus for where he finished, and the same applies to youth drivers.

So if your cars finish 1st and 4th...

Driver who finished first gets the win bonus, along with all staff.
Driver who finished 4th only gets a bonus for placing in the points, there is no extra staff bonuses paid out.

In short, staff can only receive one bonus a week

a good question for you all - championship bonus - is that for constructors or drivers? As id assume the drivers only get it if they actually win the drivers champ - but maybe they both get paid if the team win the constructors?
