I have just joined and after reading what to do, i created a chassis and im trying to develop the main parts, suspension / gearbox / fuel tank etc to be able to get a car out. I currently have 62 designers working on it yet the expectedcompletion says between 1-3 weeks for the parts, and i still have 7 other parts to deveop. So im not racing for another 5/6 weeks by the looks of it?
Surely this cant be correct as theirs no point in playing the game, waiting 2 months to race? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction?
Have you had any instant development parts? Go to R&D and then development, and check if there are any blueprints where you can see the weight. If so, the part is done and you can go to production and select the part and instant produce two of each!
If thats not the case, click on Frank (link above) and send a message.
EDIT: And dont give suppliers any sponsor slots, it will bankrupt your team. Go with normal supplier deals, no sponsor slots needed!
It depends what your Max Research Level is. Once your research on those parts reaches that it will say "Max level reached" therefore you can't improve them anymore.
When you design a part it has the chance to be +/- 2 levels of your research level for that part.
