Open Wheel Manager

Open Wheel Manager is a management sim for open-wheel racing. You develop a fast car, hire the right people and plan race strategy, using indirect control rather than micro-managing systems such as KERS or DRS during a race.

Manage your team

The game includes 12 championship teams, 40 drivers and 9 engine suppliers. You can negotiate contracts with drivers, key staff, sponsors and suppliers, while four engineering facilities support car development. Design and produce parts, then install them on your car.

Drivers’ statistics improve when they are young and regress with age. Their reputations change from season to season, and drivers move between teams accordingly.

Races and careers

Each race has a 2D visualization, which you can skip if you want to focus on management. You can keep multiple save files to run parallel careers.

Mods

You can edit driver and team names and performance parameters with a tool or in SQLite database format. SVG files can be used to change team logos, tracks and trajectories by adding them to the svg-images folder. When starting a new game, you can choose from workshop mods you have subscribed to.

Save your progress

The game has an autosave function to help preserve progress if bugs occur.
