What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Whilst there is a core experience that we will continue to deepen. We would like the game to evolve based on user feedback and suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain in early access for 6 months to a year. If this is likely to change we will update the community via dev log updates.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During early access the game will continue to evolve, with updates to features, UI, AI, systems and an editor expected during the early access period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The player will be able to choose a team and manage that team through multiple seasons across 16 tracks.

They will be able to improve their vehicle, contract staff, drivers and sponsors. Races can be spectated and influenced live, or a player can choose to simulate each race and focus on management only.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There are currently no plans to change the price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“During the playtest, we used discord for feedback and thanks to the community, we managed to fix some really hard-to-diagnose bugs, as well as make a number of improvements to the game. We will continue to collect feedback in this way and respond to it.”

This well-paced, strategic racing management game lets you take control of every aspect of your team's operations, from hiring drivers and engineers to designing and manufacturing cars. Make strategic decisions that will impact your team's performance, and stay ahead of the competition to achieve Formula 1 glory.

The Team Is Yours to Manage


As the manager, you hold the key to your team's destiny. Seek out sponsorships to develop a top-notch racing car that can conquer the tracks. Make smart decisions, build the perfect team, and strategize your way to victory in each season.

Witness the action unfold on the revamped 3D engine: analyze every move, overtake, and event to react with the right decision. Don't worry about micro-management; focus on the crucial choices that will make or break your team.

Build Your Racing Legacy


Choose your challenge: take your team from the bottom of the pack to champions or continue the winning streak of a top-tier team. Your choices matter, and the future of your team is in your hands. Negotiate contracts with drivers, staff, and sponsors, and watch as some drivers bring valuable sponsorships to boost your team's prospects. Manage your resources wisely, upgrade facilities, and fine-tune your car to excel on different tracks.

Laser-Focused Performance


Engage with the race action in multiple ways! Immerse yourself in the 3D Raceview, get a bird's-eye view with the 2D race view or simulate the race and go straight to the results. While the dynamic commentary will highlight crucial moments in the race.
