cool game

Great job man, well done! Congrats at putting this software together. Havent played it in depth now, but will definitely do.

it's buggy, it's nowhere near perfect, but it's outright comedy, had an absolute laugh while streaming it on discord

Honestly, I think is a good game. Considering has been developed by one person, it has very good potential. After the last patch is more playable. The Dev has done a great job balancing everything. Race strategy and next year development of the car seem to be well balanced. I like the cartoon style, and with the DLC mod it's easy to change drivers and team names. Would be great to have a strong mod community. PRO + Easy, indie good looking design + Good database of drivers and teams + Race is fun (I love comms) + Easy season progression CON + lack a bit of deep + you can only make 10 years career, would be nice to have sandbox and no limit career with new young drivers + No qualifying (maybe an option to have it?)

I really wanted to enjoy this game, I saw it posted online and the developer promoted it as an indie racing car management game. Unfortunately when I started the game I was disappointed. The graphics aren't bad, but they are an acquired taste, cartoony and bold, but lacking the sort of polish you would see in other indie games. The game initially is quite hard. There is a tutorial character but the advice they give isn't straight forward and they only explain about 50% of the game. It felt hard to get into, and more instructions would be helpful for new players The gameplay itself isn't amazing. You're limited in what you can do to your team and what can be done during the race. The race itself is basically some coloured dots going around an MS Paint racetrack until one wins or you crash and sit bored watching the rest of the dots go around. Being able to skip the race would be good here. Before each race is a spinning wheel bandit type thing, which adds some "fun" to the race, under a pseudonym of Bernie Eccles. This fun though is limited to wet race, long race, short race. This feature could be further explored, preferably with an option to turn it off for more serious management racers I have waited a while for the developer to update the game and perhaps some of my concerns might have been addressed. Unfortunately the first patch has taken 2 months and by now most of the initial "buzz" has gone. If the game was on a big discount it might be worth a look, but at full price I was disappointed. Overall the game feels like a late 1990s Flash racing game rather than a 2010s indie management sim. There are better games available for free on mobile, and a serious competitor to this game on PC which is well polished and goes on sale at a lower price
