How it feels

A methodical management sim where you strategize car development and team hiring rather than directly driving.

What players say

Players compare it to Motorsport Manager and the classic Grand Prix Manager, calling it a promising but unpolished management sim. It lacks a tutorial and has a spreadsheet-like interface, bugs and crashes are common, and some worry that development has stalled with a sequel on the way. However, those who stick with it praise the responsive developer, mod support, and quick seasons.
