Found any good regens?

[Ohayoghurt]

There was a highly marketable 17 year old with 5 star potential that showed up in the 2017 pre-season of my Panther game. Starting skills are a bit on the low side, especially braking, but her weekly improvement rate is incredible;

It will probably be a while before Lucy Bowker makes my main roster if at all however. Zoe Sharp aka rule 63 Ricciardo is bloody brilliant, and De Graaf had a falling out with the team who originally had him for 2017 allowing me to sign him for cheap on a long deal...

Has anyone found a similar or even better regen driver in their game?

This one is the best regen in my game so far:

I found him as 18 y.o. regen with about 2 stars and picked him up as my reserve driver. Gave him two seasons until he reached about 4 stars before I set him up as my 2nd driver. He did great and ended up 2nd in the championship, behind my 1st driver who won the driver title. I'm still kicking myself for not getting him to extend his contract. Offered him up to 800k in the second attempt (he got 150k before), but he rejected and went to Rossini. And now with a rule change which removed qualify and added reverse grid start, he's competing against his former teammate for the driver championship in the new season...

This is season 2028 btw...

Would I be correct in assuming a regen is an original driver that retires and regen-erates as a youth?

I've De Graaf with 26 y/o and he is awesome.

I'm not 100% sure but I think football manager players use the word "regens" for any newly generated player. It's possible that retired drivers are regenerating but it doesn't seem to be like the game is so static as to just cycle the exact same drivers through each time they retire.

This is the original defenition of the word regen yes. In this case I believe Lucy could be a regen of Jenny North as she retired in 2016 on this save.

However the term 'regen' could also be reasonably applied to any generated drivers or staff that don't exist at the start of the game, as it's their job to 'regenerate' the pool of available drivers and staff as the original generation retires and is phased out of the game.

Further study is needed to see if all new drivers that the game makes are 'full regens', or only some.
