all,

ive been a bit baffled by the best method to train and race young riders.

ive got the best coaches....and race them liberally (say 35 races a year) but they dont seem to be improving that well.

also i have a couple that have lots stars beside their skill values in the training screen. Does one star mean one skill point improvement?

any help would be greatly recieved.

First of all, you should give your talents more than 35 racedays a year, I've heard that 60-80 is ideal.
How many points you get per star depends on how good your coaches are, but if they are good you should get at least 2-3 points per star.

You can race a rider up to 60 days before their form starts decreasing due to too many race days. As for stars:
1 star= 1-2 points of improvemnet
2 star= 3-4 points of improvement
3 star= 5-7 points of improvement
4 star= 8-10 points of improvement
5 star= 11-15 points of improvement
6 star= 16+ points of improvement

The stars are always the same. No matter if you have a trainer or not. There is a limit in the DB and this one won`t be changed with a trainer. But 2-3 per star is still correct.

Also I am pretty sure that there is no difference if he rides 20 or 100 races.

All the necessary information is defined in the DB. Every rider has several days every year, where he will make a development. Then it depends in which stats he already can improve. Otherwise he needs to wait for the next developing day.

Plus there is a general factor being different from rider to rider. Some improve very fast immediately. Others need some time without improving very much but then make a big improving after 2 seasons or so.
