Pegaso Driver Development Program - season 60 mid-season update

The second half of the season is a good time to take a moment to reflect on your driver's development. A long-term project in which you are always trying to make the best choices, make the best use of training sessions and choose the right series for your drivers.

With the ‘Pegaso Driver Development Program’ we try to provide you with a tool that can help you with that. A tool where you can compare the development of your own driver with that of your best friends: the drivers, shareholders and fans of your favorite F1 team. Maybe you are on your way to a seat at Escudería Pegaso?

Looking at the Hot Seat Score that connects all the other parameters, you'll notice that the PDDP is more than just a gimmick and can pretty accurately predict who our team manager nicorz, the hardest working man in MRC, will choose to eventually race the Pegaso car. Numbers 3 and 4 are our current drivers and numbers 1 and 2 are up next.

With Jan Bonmatí and John Cannon we seem to have a good follow-up, while somewhat further down we see a lot of potential. For example, this group with ages 23-24: Juan Barnard, David Montero and Nacer Gonza. Three promising Spanish drivers who are already achieving good results in strong series.

We use several parameters to get to our hot seat score. The first score is quite obvious, counts for 50% of the total and calculates how well your driver is on his way to becoming a 5x100 (+ in-race-adjustments) driver.

The next one calculates your driver’s potential, i.e. how fast he our she learns and gains skills. Using your driver's 18th birthday as a basis we calculate exactly how old your driver is and how well development is maximized. We do this gradually and understand that at the beginning and at the end of a career development is usually slower (courtesy of torbar4life in an earlier version of this list). That does mean that the picture can be a little bit distorted at younger ages when a manager decides not to train personal skills first, but other skills on
which you initially make more progress. The same goes for total skills, the score above.

Next, we take into account the rating of your driver. This not only gives a good picture of the overall development and choices made, it is also important for F1 team sponsors.

We also assess your driver's current choice of season series. It may be tempting to finally or again go for that victory in a lower ranked series. But sometimes it is better to step up, even if you will only be fighting for fifth. For your driver's development, it is important that you can keep raising your rating to the best of your ability.

Last but not least, we incorporate one more parameter into the stat: loyalty. We do this with your result in the Pegaso Open, if any, and with the total number of voting points you have already donated to Pegaso. Loyalty is very important at
Pegaso, a slightly inferior team player will always have priority over a better driver who has nothing to do with the team.

Everything counts in MRC. In the end it comes down to skills, so to training, so to money, so to sponsors, so to rating, so to good results in strong series, so to skills. Good luck with the development of your drivers. Hopefully this program can make a small contribution to that or confirm that you and your driver are doing well.
