i know its complicated, but the teacher in me always wants to at least try to make things easier to understand.
so i thought i'd take a moment to attempt to clarify for those interested.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
on the DAMAGES link there are "REPORTS" of damage....
those are NOT how many KOINS to repair!
reports of contacts, may be minor, medium or severe, and are used to find a total for each race.
Minor-Med-Sev each have a weighted number 'value'. (1-3-4)
that TOTAL number of "reports" then only defines the level of damage the car received.
we're still not talking about a KOIN total.
the amount of damage reports determines the level of repair needed... Light-Medium-Heavy-Extreme or Destroyed.
so a BRM that cost 12 to buy NEW, would cost 1/3 (4 KOINS) if it suffered Medium damage (arrived thru the total based on the reports) for example: Andrew Hutchinson, had 1 minor (1) and 2 severe (4 ea=8) reports.. for a total of 9
in the same race a driver suffered "only" a blown engine, but blown engines cost 8 to replace.. and that is also a medium level COST to fix.
as the lines above the results each show, Light damages are when your reports total is between 4 and 7
Medium repairs are between 8 and 12 ... so another drivers BRM (9) and the first drivers engine (8) both fall in that spacing.
the BRM medium then costs 1/3 of 12 or 4 KOINS to repair but the Ferrari
(based on original car cost of 42) will cost 1/3 of 42 or 14 KOINS.
Some KOINS earned in season will carry over to the next. drivers leaving oAo and returning later or missing a season, will start as new drivers with regard to KOIN totals.
At end of each season team drivers share KOINS the team has remaining. each
driver getting shares based on races attended.
Economic System of oAo
chart explaining how damage is assessed and the effect on finances.
drivers may still race, but are limited in car type and qualifying.
how drivers can increase their KOIN totals
GAINING KOINS (see Table Below)
all new drivers, and drivers returning that
didn't race previous season will start with zero KOINS.
What car can they race?
They can buy any car they have enough KOINS for, or use a loaner the choice is
theirs.
For TEAM drivers:
This means if a team has enough for 2 cars they must buy them before getting a
loaner.
If not enough for a 2d car, they can use the loaner.
A loaner car must be returned in race ready condition, before a
team can buy another car.
Without enough KOINS to buy a chassis:
Drivers can race a loner car.
A LONER Car can be the /Cooper/Honda or BRM chassis.
There is no cost to loan a car. However damages must be repaired!
if not immediately - then before season ends.
when enough KOINS are accumulated to buy a car (12 for BRM/Honda) the loaner
must be returned.
Failing to pay back any damages to the loan by the end of the season will deduct 1 Point for each KOIN owed.
LOSING KOINS
KOINS can be lost thru penalty, or when a chassis is Damaged (level of damage determines cost)
KOINS can be lost for a damaged (-3 in D1, -2 in D2) or blown engine (-6 in D1 or D2)
Teams will be formed by the Team Leaders during the break between season. Each driver has the potential for an amount of KOINS from the prior season.
KOINS determine the amount of buying power or repair damages each Team/Privateer has.
Cars
are categorized in 7 groups (as listed) and have a value (see
below)
Replacing a destroyed car need not be of same type lost.
Additional cars may be purchased to hold in reserve, or be sold to anyone for an agreed on price.
Each team will have drivers in each Division and they may drive any combination of cars
in their garage, as long as the cars are in race condition. Drivers may switch cars between themselves that the
team owns, from race to race.
TL's AND privateers, MUST check your garage before & after each race for availability and STATUS of cars.
New drivers as Privateers will start with zero KOINS and may may race a loaner till he gains enough KOINS to buy chassis of his choice
