Golden Lap

Golden Lap is a motorsport management game set at the start of the open-wheel racing era’s golden age. As a team head, you make decisions that shape your drivers’ futures and your cars’ performance, balancing the budget across drivers, support staff, car development and sponsorships. Racing is unpredictable: safety measures are improving, technology is advancing, and accidents can happen, so victory is never guaranteed.

Lead your team

Each season gives you a chance to build a back-marker team into a championship contender or maintain a dynasty. Between races and championships, you hire crew, develop cars, meet sponsors’ goals and manage your finances. On race day, you make the calls that affect your team’s results.

Your team includes drivers, a head engineer and a crew chief. Each hire has personality traits that can affect finances, car performance and driving skill. A driver with wealthy parents may contribute money but could arrive tired after partying, while a grumpy engineer may affect the rest of the team despite being highly skilled with a wrench. You decide which traits are worth the trade-offs.

Strategy and presentation

Golden Lap uses a minimalist interface that shows essential information and explains the consequences of decisions. It reduces micromanagement so you can focus on the big picture, while retaining depth in key areas of team management.

Mod your racing world

You can customize teams and drivers, adjust crew skills and traits, add sponsors and create car designs. The modding features also let you build custom championships and share your creations or take on those made by others.
