How to Propose a New Contract
Now comes the main part, proposing the contract to a driver. There are four basic measures that you can choose:
- Driver Position: you can decide the position like lead driver, second driver or reserve driver.
- Salary: decide the salary for the season.
- Contract Length: for much time (how many seasons actually)
- Starting Bonus: the amount of money you are willing to pay right at the beginning.
The values for these measures are set automatically to a rough estimate but you can alter them if you like.
Before proposing the contract, there are some other things about driver as well that you need to consider:
- Patience: it determines how many times you can propose a contract.
- Negotiation Attitude: if the driver has a good attitude, your offer will most likely be accepted. If not, you need to have a super exciting deal.
- Morale: this is how the driver is feeling in the current team.
Now that you have selected your offer, just click on propose contract. If the contract is accepted, you will have a new screen notifying you about the new driver hired. Or if the driver declines the proposal, you will have a different color of lighting on the measures that you have set.
For instance, if the driver is unhappy with the salary, it will be orange. If he is just okay with it, it will be yellow. If he is happy, it will be green.
So if the offer is declined, just change the orange measures and propose again. But keep in mind that each time you pitch your proposal, the patience of the driver goes down. If you do this repeatedly, you won’t be able to hire the driver.
However, if you are content with your current team of drivers and want to extend the contract, just go to the driver’s menu and select the ‘scout drivers’ option. And from there just repeat all the steps that we have told you to hire a new driver.
