Car parts reset

[_Patrick Swayze]

Dear all,

I'm not sure if this is mod related, as I'm using the Fire Fantasy 20 mod:

After 3 seasons the values get reset, which I understand is normal. What I find awkward is, that I was heavily investing in new parts and before the reset I had the 6th best car on the grid and also that last season before the reset I heavily invested in parts. Now after the reset, my car rating went down from 6th to 10th on the grid. It feels as if it almost completely reset my progression.

Anyone has had a similar experience when it comes to either this mod or the vanilla game?

Yearly Part Resets

Instead of having a part reset every 3-4 years, we now have part resets that happen every year. Their intensity is not as much in terms of reshuffling all teams and swapping bottom with top teams, but it is possible for the best teams to drop 3-4 spots, depending on how many other teams make serious progress in the pre season.
How good your car is will be calculated from last year’s car, that means if you struggle with a specific part, you will, most likely, not be able to overcome that. Sometimes your engineers are able to identify the problem and improve the part nevertheless, but you shouldn’t count on that.
This system will allow to play more seasons in a single career and extend playtime and fun while playing by a lot - since players will not be able to dominate as they used to. Every year can now be a challenge, critical car parts have more influence on a cars’ performance and pre-made plans can shift very quickly.
If you don’t like the reset, just reload a savegame from before building the chassis (season end not the autosave from pre-season start) and go through the process again. The reset will be different.

Its an feature, sometimes your lucky and get an better car.
Sometimes your unlucky and drop some places.
If you dislike what you got you can load an save from before the last season ended and hope it gives you something better.
