Strategy to Car Parts Development:
CFD Mau hours and Wind Tunnel hours:
The use of CFD Mau hours and Wind Tunnel hours improves the expertise of engineers around a specific part enabling them to make better pieces of that car part in the future. When you develop a new car part keep in mind that if you want develop X car parts for the month considered, Mau hours and Wind Tunnel Hours must be corresponded, for each car part, at about the total hours divided by X. For example, if you can develop 4 car parts for the month considered is recommended that you use about a quarter of total Mau hours and Wind Tunnel hours available for that month. Instead, if you want to develop 3 car parts you should use about one third of total Mau hours and Wind Tunnel hours.
Minimum Lifespan:
Minimum Lifespan is a key attribute which will affect how long the part is expected to last before it needs to be replaced. Considering that often you will build new car parts that will be better of the previous one is recommended set lifespan to about 4 races. Doing this you improve all stats of car performance and at the same time 4 races is nearly the time necessary to develop and produce a new car part better of the previous one that will replace the actual car part.
Approach:
Only for the very first design of a determinate car part, if you have enough money is recommended to use intense approach. The cost is sensibly higher but, in this way, all future projects of that determined car part will be greatly improved as stats. Rushed approach should be always avoided unless you are in trouble with car parts performance.
Number of engineers:
Is strongly recommended to use very available engineer for every set of car parts developed during the same period assigning more engineer to projects that requires more day to be completed. In this way engineer gains a little less experience but car parts will be ready in less time so you will be able to develop a new one early.
Strategy to manufacture:
For every car part you want to develop an improved equivalent later that will be better of the previous one, is important to produce only 4 pieces: one for the first car, one for the second car, and two as reserve (one for each car). In this way you avoid accumulating car parts that you will never use avoiding wasting money. At the same time doing this you will have more production availability to manufacture other car parts. Regarding the approach of manufactures, unless you are in trouble with car parts availability, is always better use normal approach
