Still can't get the car to be as quick as it should be... got a driver with 100% on the passing, wet weather, aggression and experience too... im thinking i need a better chassis.

If they find out they will cancel both accounts. They do not like multi accounts by the same user.

MH Motorsports is also building Engines :

The MHM1 will be ready in 10 races:

(696 BHP)(17,052 RPM)(107 kg)(43%)

Costs: not determined yet, but expected to be around 300k each race.

Maybe not as fast as the Hickspeed, but lighter and more reliable (i hope).

Ran with the Mercey last season, but that engine was not reliable at all. Decided to switch to Ferrenzi for this season and hoping for better results this year

a 2 star engine plant costs 3,5 million. My engine dept. manager 125k each race and 100 assistants cost 100k each race.

I don't and can't use my engines yet because they are still 10 races away from completion. Besides i have enough budget to buy a better engine until my own engine is good enough to be competitive in my own league.

I think just as long as you, i just started my 4th season.

Currently running on Renren Chassis, Ferrenzi engine and Streetstone Tyres. So quite a good combination. Now i need to work on keeping the cashflow and expanding the factory.

Default BIG MISTAKE can I undo it??

Hi

As the title says I have made a big mistake in my season! OK 1st race I won which was my 1st win :disco: Then I had enough for a new engine so I bought it! I then realised I needed a 2nd driver so I put my engine back to the 1st one, but the money counted an extra £32000 for the engine I started with meaning I am in debt and cant repay it without getting rid of everything!! Is there any way I can undo those last sales so I can get my money back???

Thnx, (A worried) Ross Balfour
