Now, as manager of a factory team, the player can now choose the area of ongoing R&D during the season and also the long-term R&D goals for next seasons machine.
If managing a satellite team, that team will receive any upgrades shortly after the respective factory team has received them.
This adds a more tactical aspect to the game, as if the player is managing a factory team, they can now guide R&D any way they like to improve the performance of the bikes.
After each test, pre-season or during the season, there will be a report from the factory teams technical team which will give an insight into the performance of the machines, and highlight any areas that would benefit from improvements. These suggestions do not need to be accepted, and any area of the machine can be researched.
Also, the quality of the factory teams test rider will have an impact on the quality and subsequent improvement to the machines of any new upgrades fitted.
If no option is selected during the season then no mid season development will take place. If no specific r&d area is selected for long term development, then work on next season's machine will still be done by the factory, but this will not be focused on improving a specific issue with the bikes.
