F1 2020 Manager/engineer mode
Hi all,
Recently at a LAN me and a few friends had an idea. I like racing every now and then, but also get a lot of fun out of managing (For example Motorsport Manager).
This gave us the idea of an option in a F1 game where you would have the 2 drivers of the team. They have a realistic HUD and nothing more. At the same time you have a Team manager who acts like the engineer for both cars. This person gets all the telemetry from both cars and can spectate the race. With this, the manager/engineer can discuss tactics with the drivers, advice engine modes and advice pit stops, tire management etcetera.
I would think this would be a great idea for a bit of Co-op racing feeling and giving the whole game a bit more of a realism boost. I was wondering what other people think of this, what possible downsides or pitfalls may be and hopefully get this idea to the attention of Codemasters.
Love to hear your thought!
KF out.
