There are 8 different components to your car, and you'll need suppliers for all of them.
Chassis
Chassis can be expensive to buy in, so why not use your own? A good Designer will build a better chassis than a Locost pretty quickly anyway.
Engine
After your chassis, the Engine is the single most important part of your car, so don't scrimp here!
Tyres
Tyres are very important. Take extra care with the 'reliability' trait of Tyres, as this also denotes how quickly the tyre will degrade during a race. A tyre with higher reliability will fall apart slower so you'll keep more speed over a stint.
Fuel
The best Engines require the best fuel!
Gearbox
Still quite an important component of a winning race car, you can get some bargains too!
Suspension, Brakes & Electronics
These parts of the car have the least effect on performance, however they're just as likely to break as any other part, so don't ignore them.
New suppliers
New suppliers will become available when you do well in races, so be sure to check back here often.
