This Could Be You lot wrote:Equally yous may notice, this is a fatal flaw (one of many, really) of my Virtual BTCC series, which I've attempted to solve by gradually attempting to reduce funds (the "Gilt Sinks" method, as you put it), but this has had the opposite outcome and then while teams like CVR, Maxtreme and AFM (who all went backrupt in 2009) look like they'll get in into 2011 due to shrewd management, while Honda Team Dynamics, WSR and Triple Eight look sketchy to say the to the lowest degree, and are in massive debt.

While I think y'all're a little hard on your own series, it's clear you understand the problem, entirely :-P .

I've pondered this with my own series for quite a while, now. If I had to kickoff another series from scratch, I'd figure this bit out commencement...

A major stumbling block with this result, is that in that location is no incentive for someone deliquesce their squad in a virtual series, where as there are many reasons why an owner may practice that in existent life (retiring, selling the team for a profit, etc.). I had considered 'rewards' that could exist granted to team owners who willing dissolve their teams, such equally giving them 'priority condition' (ahead of everyone else) in the queue to join the serial (which would exist rather unfair), or even sending them actual coin in the post!

Sometimes, if the manager of a team wishes to leave the series - and the squad they manage should historically be gone by now (eastward.g. the Simtek team) - then the serial organizer may simply choose not to select a new manager for that team and let information technology disappear from the title; however, this could exist considered 'selectivity' on the part of the series organizer, since - if the team were a successful one (e.g. the McLaren team) they would insist on another user taking over the squad, for the sake of realism.

I think information technology could be argued that we serial organizers are too generous with sponsorship, possibly? A keen deal of of teams, in existent life, get nether considering they just take no available credit nor income, only there is always ample sponsorship and wealthy pay-drivers in virtual series'.

This upshot seems to be exacerbated by all major expenditure (i.due east. the blazon of expenditure that forces bankruptcy) existence deducted at the start of each season, which does not mirror reality at all, since a team's expenses are typically paid on monthly or per-race basis in real life. Considering the just costs to a squad are upgrades - which are fundamentally optional - it'due south effectively impossible for a team that has completed its initial motorcar construction and signing of drivers, sponsors and suppliers, to go bankrupt mid-season.

Ane mode I thought of solving the upshot, was by implementing a 'merge teams' functionality, just information technology has the problem of necessitating one histrion to give-up their squad, when neither may wish to.

'Surprise' costs, such as a team's headquarters burning downwards and having to pay for a new 1, etc could sink a team. However, the squad cannot suffer whatsoever kind of surprise event that affects only the cars, since any squad with a stable residuum would exist able to (in real life) build further cars.

'Elbow grease' - in the class of creative thinking - alone can solve this problem, but finding methods of amicably kicking teams out of a series is very difficult; some examples from real life might be, er... er~...:

The Toleman team being unable to compete in 1985, due to making enemies of all remaining tyre suppliers, afterward Michelin pulled-out.
Vic Lee getting his hatless butt thrown in the slammer, twice, for smuggling numberless of flour to Holland.
... I can't think of any more...

It could besides exist argued, that, it's preferable to have an ambitious approach and just boot people out when information technology's time for their squad to go, and the annoyance felt past that person is a victim of the enjoyment of the group (the stop justifying the ways).
