I've been curious about this for a while, but what exactly is the required rep. for Ferrari, McLaren, & Red Bull to offer you a contract? I would normally think this is a preset order with Red Bull being the first available with Ferrari and then McLaren last.
But, in the Codies forum, I've read about other people having said that they got contract offers from Ferrari & McLaren first. In my game, Red Bull threw me an offer at 25-27 rep. (IIRC), and it seems the other 2 will won't offer me a contract until I'm 32+. I do know you can check once they've started taking an interest in you, but until then, the required rep. isn't shown to sign with them.
So, are they random, or is my game right in its order of team availability? And if so, what do I need to reach to start getting Ferrari/McLaren even interested in me?
To give an example of different forums:
On Gamespot, a member ran 2 saves. After running for Lotus for the 1st season & winning every race, he got an offer with Ferrari at 31 rep. for Save #1 & HRT at 35, as driver #1 for Save #2. At the end of his 2nd season, he hopped to McLaren from Ferrari & to Virgin from HRT. After the 3rd season, he had the option to now join Red Bull from McLaren.
On the Codies forum, a member posted that 31 rep. was required for Renault. However, I've had an offer from them after my 2nd season before I was at 31.
At RaceDepartment, someone listed Mercedes GP at 36, RBR at 35, & Ferrari at 34. Again, I've had an offer with Mercedes GP for a while & accepted RBR's offer before I hit 30.
