MRC 101 - Part I

21.08.2013 - This week on Blazefp's Magazine we start off a new column called MRC 101 with the objective of helping young users understanding this game better and faster.

To kick off, we invited no more no less than the current most successful Portuguese manager in MyRacingCareer's history - Blazefp; and his famous miracle worker driver - Francisco Pires. They're both going to answer several questions which we hope will enlighten some of the new managers' doubts and help them evolve faster.


INTRODUCTION (first steps e driver)

Blazefp's Magazine: Good morning! First of all, thank you both for accepting our invitation to this interview.

Blazefp: Don't mention it, I myself had the idea, invited me and accepted it [forced laughs]

Francisco Pires: And I'd like to keep my job [giggles]


Blazefp's Magazine: So, starting off, what would you tell to a new manager in the system that's a bit lost?

Blazefp: Well, in the beginning he'll want to race as much as he can. The more experience he has, the more tracks he'll know and more data he'll have to compare strategies in the future. No one is going to be the best on their first season, hardly on the second too and only on the third season will they be able to begin to understand how to run a team here. Patience is a virtue. But it's still pretty easy to go up on the ranking list here.

Each manager recruits the employees he finds the most important, but you should always be sure you can pay them all otherwise they'll simply quit with no previous warning. You shouldn't have money for many in the beginning, that's normal.

Blazefp's Magazine: And what driver should they choose?

Blazefp: There are in fact several abilities we should care about more but before we're going into that I'd first determine whether I'm looking for a driver to improve over time on a long term basis or a driver that brings me success right here right now. The first option ends up on a much better driver on the peak of his career, however it'll take more time to get those results.

If you chose a long term driver, new and clever, I strongly advice you to focus on his training. You might not be able to finish many races in the beginning due to weak mechanics and engineers but if you're patient the driver should pay off pretty soon, achieving better results and bringing better sponsors with it, allowing you to complete your team with the missing employees. Public relationship managers are also necessary in this case even if a bit expensive.

If you chose a swifter way, with an older but faster driver, I advice you to invert that order, start by the engineers so you have productive practices, go by the PR managers to expand you pockets, followed by mechanics which take precious time on the pit-stops and only then the coaches.

Don't forget these paths aren't the only ones that drive you up the ranking list, they're just the ones I find more effective. Let nothing stop you from experimenting, you might even be more successful than this dork over here. If you're unlucky though, well, nothing better than learning from your own mistakes.

Francisco Pires: As the old man on the mountain once said: "Information learned is more valuable than information given". Don't ever forget this
