Staff (Grand Prix Story)

---

Your racing team is composed of two groups; drivers and mechanics. Each plays an important role in the garage. Mechanic's usefulness primarily comes in the form of the number you can have at once, while drivers not only act as a mechanic, but are also responsible for participating in the actual race.

Each of your staff can level up / train, although how they do this is different for each. Mechanics level up with the use of Research points. Drivers go through training which uses up their energy, their aura (if they have one), and costs money. On top of training, your mechanics have a random chance to obtain small random stat increases while they work.

Stats

• Pedal (driver only) - Increases vehicle top speed.
• Shift (driver only) - Increases vehicle acceleration.
• Steer (driver only) - Increases how well vehicles go around turns.
• IQ - Get more EXP. Aids in vehicle development.
• Appeal - Increases sponsor ad effect.
• Tech - Affects vehicle development and speeds up repairs.
• Analysis - Increases the amount of Research Data a vehicle accumulate in a race.

Drivers

You must train drivers to increase their stats.

List of Mechanics

Leveling up uses Research , and increase the mechanics stats. Stats can still start and end slightly different than listed.

?1. This is not taking into account random stats gain from working. This is found by hiring a mechanic, and immediately leveling them to level 5 to avoid random stat gains.

Trivia

• A group with high skills, or Tech, can sometimes get better performance than the plans indicate.
