How Does Research Work - F1 Manager 24

[@Tob3s]

So funny that last night I was pondering how to do research as a new player and alas you provide the answers 🙏🏾

[@dilthanas]

vote for reg change before suzuka result after suzuka. in all versions of the game i have only done research when it becomes open no more design. my design finished weeks before. i dont move sliders unless its the 30/20/10 front wing type.

[@Wolf-king-forget]

Idk how to balance the design and research, like after the regs do you stop designing parts and fully go for research or do both and if i should do both how should i devide CFD and wind tunnel time??

[@HegeAddams]

Thanks a lot for your very informative videos, these helped me a lot to have a better team during my second playthrough (obviously i went bankrupt and got fired on the first one when i had zero experience and knowledge about the mechanics of the game) but i have some question in my mind i wasn't able to find any answer yet. I got it that i can upgrade my current year's car by designing new parts, but is it a strict rule to run researches only after finished designing the current year's car? Or can i do it simultaneously throughout the year after the regulation changes defined? It happens some time that i don't want to run any designing but i have free engineers so i ofter start researching even after 5-6 races. Is it an issue, do i get any disadvantage from it? Another thing is that by only researching can i get a great car next year even if the current year's car is a piece of crap since nothing has been designed throughout the year? I would like to know if the performance of the car is resetting at the end of each year and by designing something is only affecting that year's car or the next year's car is beneffiting from it as well. Thank you so much for your amazing support! Wishing you the best!

[@NeroBax]

You can do design or research at any time you wish. The calculation at the end of the year would be something like this (design gains - regulation change + research gains) there is nothing that is really stopping you from doing designs after the regulation change has been annouced except that you'd lose some of the expertise you gain from designing. (How much depends on % of regulation change). There is never any real disadvantage to researching. You gain expertise by designing and researching and lose it by regulation changes, when you go into your next season the calculation for that would be (current expertise - regulation change loss + research gains) there is no reset for you cars performance, it can seem that way but that is due to the basic car at the start of the year having all parts with balanced sliders, once you design new parts again you are most likely going to see an improvment over previous years. Thanks for the super! Appreciate it :) Hope I answered your questions.

[@HegeAddams]

@@NeroBax Thank you so much for your answer! One more question and i’m done. I’m at the end of my first season and i’m over the cap space so i’m unable to produce new parts from the latest designs and i’m using older ones (for example the 1st version of underfloor is installed to both cars but the best and the latest one is the 4th version). If i finish my season with the old parts installed will my next year’s car be worse than if the latest designed parts would be installed? I guess (and hope) not but i would like to plan to have the best possible car for the second year so if it’s needed i would produce the latest versions with an emergency production. Thanks again for your support mate!

[@tashakay1734]

looked at the thumbnail and you can tel why adrian newey isn't in the game is because stats can only go up to 100/100,,, newey would be over that :)

[@elliotjones3903]

yo can you do a driver development guide next in drivers like kimi antonelli? thanks

[@SRT302]

In one season where i created a really dominant car somehow, i poured all my cfd time and wind tunnel time into research from the halfway point, but i ended up with the 3rd best car the next season. How did this happen and how can i prevent this from happening again? Edited additional note: I think it may be my facilities, is it?

[@NeroBax]

There is a ceiling to expertise, as you get closer to it you get more. Sounds like you might have hit the upper edges of this ceiling and as such the AI might have caught up. Could also be facilites.

[@mikahmyers3319]

Quick question, would I be doing harm by making a speedy car as quick as possible while having low overall drivers?

[@ezcyberpup]

if your car is too fast for low overall drivers (if braking and cornering are low) they would run off the track from what ive seen

[@LOstere]

So research affects next years car right? Also do facility upgrades increase the ammounts that you can with each upgrade/research project done?

[@NeroBax]

Yes. Facilities has no effect on research.

[@deadzeon7156]

Whats the best way to deal with rules change that affect the car in 50% and for each part whats the best to research ?

[@NeroBax]

Just focus on what is getting hit by the regulation change, cornering is still going to be your best bet for performance next year.

[@kasushy_]

I wanted to know how to do an eficient research because on the 2nd year the regulation voting went to a -70% so I needed to make wonders to get the car to work. Thanks for the tutorial

[@ezcyberpup]

put 2 CFDs on the 70% and youll hit about 65%

[@j7stackz]

Video on how to maximise development for your drivers?

[@NeroBax]

There really isn't much to it when it comes to driver development. Keep mentality as high as you can as it gives a development boost, build team hub/race sim to max, perform well. That is about it.

[@SamMcGrath-oi1be]

Every year my car gets worse, even though I spend entire second half of season doing research. Does anyone why why?

[@lunaticgamer75]

You have to design those new parts after doing the research previous year to get benefits of research or else your car remains roughly the same to very negligible improvement next year

[@Noobmasta]

Is there any point to switch from design to research for parts that are unaffected by regulation changes? I don't plan on manufacturing new parts from the design anyways so should I just do research instead?

[@NeroBax]

I'd do research. You could do intense design if you have financial and cost cap avaliable.

[@frahman1963]

How should you divide up CFD time for research projects?

[@NeroBax]

I focus it into one part at a time for each period.

[@frahman1963]

@@NeroBax👍

[@chrisgachette266]

When I’m researching parts for the coming year, do I have to design a new part in order to obtain the research experience or will my research experience to be applied to the default parts the following season?

[@NeroBax]

The research experience gets applied to the default parts. The default parts get designed with everything in the middle though so it might feel like you aren't getting any big gains but they are there.

[@vincentlouis1084]

Great Video. Do you know if you will do an updated "Worst create a team" post update?

[@NeroBax]

Nothing has really changed for the worst create a team setup, AI will be developing a bit faster but my strategy is still the same.

[@luissheppard2342]

Can you do a video on how your head of aerodynamics affects your part attributes? Along with how your building levels affect attributes too please?

[@ezcyberpup]

he already did

[@luissheppard2342]

@@ezcyberpup I'll have a nose

[@NeroBax]

Staff is 1% boost per 20 stats. Meaning that a 100 rated head will give you a 5% performance boost. Buildings at their max level will account for about 5% with cooling being an exception at 10%.

[@ezcyberpup]

@NeroBax can you do a video on design progression? Once you complete one or 2 designs for any part then when you try to make another all the important stuff is all negative and can't gain even though it's not maxed out. Do you need to make a throw away part just to get that back in the green?

[@luissheppard2342]

@@ezcyberpup I suffered this already. Start of S3, designed 1 chassis, next one is all negative!

[@thenotoriousdawg]

Have you encounter a situation where your design and research sliders didnt work? I'm currently in the early stage of 3rd season, but for some reason everytime I want to do design or research and when I move the sliders, the stats didnt change. So basically its on balance preset despite sliders position already moved. Is it has to do with the expertise or its a bug or my game just happens to be broken?

[@NeroBax]

Never had this so dont know.

[@Varandil]

So if you design 2 Front Wings, for example, and put all your ATR in to the first one, then the 2nd design will be better than if you hadn't used the ATR. Right? Is there any similar application in research? Does putting ATR in to the first Front Wing research mean that I'll gain more out of researching it a 2nd time?

[@NeroBax]

The reason why you get a huge benefit from doing ATR on the first wing is that you get the big boost to your expertise at the end of the design. For research this doesn't matter since we get that boost directly on the first design. You won't gain anything from running a second research afterwards. The easiest way to see the difference is just to see how much better a research project becomes by using ATR on a research.

[@Varandil]

@@NeroBax Thank you 😁

[@blackredlion3943]

@@NeroBax i think you answered my question but just in case you didn't. Question: does research stack? example i choose to research a new front wing, i improve the slow speed cornering by 16 and +2 on high speed cornering, and i decide to research another front wing in the same season with high speed cornering +20 and slow speed cornering at +1, would the 2nd research overwrite my first research or will i get 17 on slow speed cornering and 22 on high speed cornering for my front wing research part?

[@NeroBax]

Yes. Research will stack and also take into account the gains of the previous research. If you start at 40% expertise and research up to 45% then your next project will start at 45% and so forth. You do not lose anything by doing several researches in a row with different sliders it all gets added to your expertise.

[@antonjanky681]

Should you only research the parts which have technical changes in the upcoming years or should i also research the other parts ?

[@NeroBax]

Research is the most efficient way of development so nothing wrong with researching other parts aswell.

[@kaustubh.tripathi]

In which order should parts be researched? Also should all the CFD time be given to one part in research too?

[@NeroBax]

No real particular order to be fair, I'd focus wings, underfloor, suspension but every part is somewhat important to research. I prefer to put all my CFD/Wind into one part prioritizing what gets hit the hardest and then going for the second hardest with the next period etc.

[@benjaminrowley3859]

I noticed that assigning 1 engineer instead of 6 is better for gains. The more engineers i added, the lower the G's became.

[@ezcyberpup]

because each engineer reduces the total time and expertise is based on how many days it is researched or designed so the lowest is always the most optimal

[@smxt_shxh]

Wish the game showed us how much expertise we gain/loose by having 1 or multiple engineers..

[@yungestKEV]

i started to do only research around belgium for the rest of the race with the fastest car and the next season we are the slowest car. Why? I think it's a bug maybe

[@rufatmalikzade3672]

Yea me too,idk how to solve this

[@ryanharrison400]

At what point would you say you should stop developing the current car and go into next years. Great video keep up the great work

[@NeroBax]

Probably around summer break for a regular season.

[@GamerKahn]

so im new to this game. im wondering how many different type of parts i would need?

[@NeroBax]

In terms of research, as many as you can.

[@charliecaunce4560]

i start with the worst of everything i am new but no matter how much research i do my car comes out worse it’s so frustrating i know i deffo put enough in i think it’s because i don’t use sliders so is there an easy way someone could help me

[@SamMcGrath-oi1be]

Do I need to do research if there are minor changes in regs? And if so how much

[@NeroBax]

Always worth to do enough research to cover the loss from regulations.

[@andrewnesbitt6475]

@@NeroBaxwhat if there’s no reg changes on a certain part?

[@NtodaV]

So should you research only in the very last month one time in each part why do it twice on a part isn’t that a waste

[@NeroBax]

Research is accumulative meaning you should do as many as possible.

[@Dr.Caligarii]

Thanks so much for this thorough guide on research! I just wanted to ask the timeline of such developments. Also, in a new video on designs you mentioned that it's best to pour all your MAU hours on one component. Given that you get a limited amount of ATR periods each year, how best to balance time between designing parts and research? Thanks again!

[@NeroBax]

I generally use the first 1-2 periods on design and the remaining 4 on research.
