You are not in an active division so hire someone on the cheap as a test driver and stick them in the car until you find a 2nd driver. At least then you will get the prize money if he finishes the race.

All my drivers are technical all the quality of test drivers racing for my team since I am waiting on better drivers to arrive from other team and my youth program plus it saves me money while I am in a lower division.

Yes, One of the two drivers that I am waiting to arrive into my team plus he came at a decent price of $175,000 per week so how could I pass on him.

My main driver joins next season after waiting on him for two plus season being stuck in another team plus I have two youths that will make my team in a season or two as well so I have a lot of choices to make about my drivers line-up soon.

It is a nice situation to be in!!

I thought I was going to be in a similar situation this season. Turned out that one of them got stuck in a dead team and is now pig slow. The other likes doing donuts and sniffing the exhaust fumes of other cars.
