Hi Frank, just a heads up on a big pitwall glitch regarding sponsors. When a team loses them for not meeting race entries, it still registers as having them in their placeholder despite being dropped on screen. Like an invisible black marker.
It prevents signing another in its place, seems to be for the following seasons too. IE, I can't sign sponsor A as it thinks I already have a deal in place already, but was dropped. I tried to sign another brand in its place, sponsor B, despite being vacant on my list, it went to 100% and failed as it said it couldn't honour the start date (the invisible dropped sponsor A placeholder was still active).
Quite a big issue, would mean teams can't progress and are frozen out, especially bad if blocked for multi year terms!
Frank is investigating. I hope your team is okay mate, please don't give up, I'm sure Frank may be able to reinstate some sort of cost for the losses to stop you going under. It's the worst time of the year as well!
Thanks for reporting! It should be fixed with the fixes from this morning. How I will re-compensate will be hard to figure out, as it won't be easy to calculate how much everyone has lost.
Write me off, I am fine on losses. As for others, if there are only three or four cases, if it has badly affected their revenue, then what about giving them one weeks lost income based on last years values? Should be easy to trace back and fairest?
Hmm yes, but you understand that I can't go out and hand 40 million to every team. It's not the same for every team as some teams missed out lower tier sponsors to higher tier sponsors. My intention is to give something which is the same for everyone.
