99% of drivers with 5 star potential ??

[Ventra]

I have been playing on one save for over 230 hours after the game launch...
with almost everything achieved, I plan to start a new game with the FIRE mod from F3

Although I don't think this has anything to do with the mod, I would like to know if anyone is also seeing almost all the drivers in the pool have 5 star potential?

I have scouted on all drivers up to age 22 and ALL OF THEM are with 5 star potential, strange.

when I scroll down the list (with no age limit), only a couple of drivers have no potential (current # of star = potential # of star)

shed some light anyone please? thanks!!

a silly system like that is the reason i don't go near these types of mods, no realism on the part of the drivers skill and it is further cloaked behind the ability of the design team on the car meaning you can't positively identify how good a racer is. Lets look at it: Mark Webber and Giancarlo Fisichella for example from preivous years, both had tremendous skill, ability and talent but at best they were in a cut below the truly outstanding drivers like Fernando Alonso or Sebastien Vettel and on occasion these two drivers were capable of matching or bettering their team mates, but only occasionally.

It is usually hard to gauge talent of drivers who drive a different car from another driver, but between team mates in the same car and spec, it is clear to see that some drivers are limited in their drivers talent and potential. This is the same for so many drivers i can list down the last 20 years in formula one. Besides the two mentioned:

Jarno Trulli, David Coulthard, Heikki Kovalainen,Takuma Sato, Narain Karthikeyan, Pastor Maldonado, Jolyan Palmer, Sebastien Bourdais, Esteban Gutierrez, Nelson Piquet Jr., Felipe Massa, Daniil Kvyat, Vitaly Petrov, Sakon Yamamoto, Christian Klien, Kazuki Nakajima... the list goes on.

So yes, a change to the arbitrary all 5 star talent of drivers should most certainly be considered more seriously.

You try making a mod this extensive yourself.... personally the fact that they COULD get to 5 stars...any one of them...makes it slightly more of a challenge. It also shows with the right facilities and training, any driver could become a star.
