Yes. It's mentioned a lot on this site already(*hint* Forum search *hint* ), but that feature isn't in PCM 13. Why? Well, in real life, riders get the money instead of the team.
To compensate, the sponsor now pays you a 13th month of salary at the end of the year, and you can negotiate sponsor goals to get more money.
Oh, and welcome at the forum Edited by Jesleyh on 04-07-2013 14:42
Just got the game and found myself in some difficulty due to this fact.
Any ideas would be a huge help...
I have run a few careers and normally go into the red in June or July (horrible timing for resigning your riders). The reason is because I like to get the BEST staff available (not realistic, I know).
I have even tried to do it realistically, but still have a defecit of $75k per month that runs me dry.
How do they expect you to equip your team, get decent staff, and resign riders without any 'bonus' for winning races.

you'd probably have to negotiate harder sposor goals in the first year to get more money, then every year after that you should have a little surplus rolled over from the previous year.
that or simply resign your current team early, like Jan or Feb, and try to lower their saleries if possible, then only bring in new riders in the first year if you can then afford them.

That makes sense. I think the plan will be to keep staff minimal in year one, set some really high goals, and try to survive long enough to resign my team.
One more question - related, but slightly off topic -- does equipment make ANY difference? I simulate a lot, so I figure it plays a role on the simulations.
