Parts, Effect, Transferred, next years cars

[Shane]

how does the effect of your designed parts filter onto the following seasons cars ?

because one of my cars is no where near the same kinda of improvement levels as the other after season 1, and i didnt have any of the parts attached to any of the cars when the first season ended

Your two best parts in each category are carried over to your new car (+base stats based on construction parts).

As an example, at the end of season 1 you have an engine A (100 performance) and an engine B (70 performance). Your season 2 cars start with A = 100 performance + base and B = 70 + base.

Sorry, just to be completely clear do 2 of the best parts of each category carry over? So in addition to engine A and B do your 2 best gearboxes, 2 best brakes etc carry over as well?

To say 2 best parts carry over isn't actually true. 2 highest basic performance parts carry over. As you can have 3rd part that has like -10 performance compared to 2nd part, but has +40 performance to race (making it the better part). This part wouldn't get transferred over.

Yep, thats right. Was a bit sloppy on that one ;)

Exactly, in each category your two highest performance items. 2 engines, 2 brakes, 2 gearboxes and so on.
Also worth mentioning: as long as an part isn't banned it's valid for your new car - even if it's a "high risk" part.

Only if you are promoted in a new season you have to restart from scratch.

Well now the new parts also have your lead designers revelant stat also added to value too.

Thank you for the answer. Also I know you kind of already answered it but just to be sure, nothing at all related to your car carries over when you get promoted?

Correct, after promotion to a new series (e.g. from ERS to APS) your new cars are just adjusted to match the lower teams in the next season, even if your parts in the previous series were actually better than that. Only within the same series the performance of your parts are carried over.
