Racing Manager

Racing Manager puts you in charge of a motorsport team. You do not drive the cars; you recruit drivers and staff, manage finances and facilities, develop cars and make strategic decisions during race weekends. Your choices shape the team across multiple seasons as it competes for championships.

Build your team

Recruit and manage the people behind the cars, including the Team Principal, Technical Director, Head of Aerodynamics, Race Engineers, Chief Financial Officer, Head of Marketing and Sporting Director. Build the organization needed to compete now while preparing for future seasons.

The game features hundreds of drivers. Assess their abilities and recruit a line-up that fits your ambitions and budget: experienced drivers can deliver immediate performance, while younger prospects may become future stars. In endurance racing, multiple drivers share each car, making selection and race management especially important.

Compete across disciplines

You can build a career in several motorsport disciplines, each with its own challenges:

• World open wheels: develop your team and cars as you work through increasingly competitive championships.
• American open wheels: compete with its own teams, drivers and racing environment, adapting your strategy to a different style of open-wheel racing.
• Global Endurance Championship: manage multiple drivers per car, plan pit stops, and decide when to change drivers and tires while trying to complete the race.

Manage race weekends

When a race starts, monitor your drivers, tires and the race situation, then decide when to pit and change tires. In endurance events, you also manage driver changes and ensure each driver completes their required time behind the wheel. The timing of a stop can determine the outcome of a race.

Develop the team

Improve your cars throughout the season by choosing where to invest resources and gradually closing the gap to competitors. Car development, drivers, staff and facilities all draw on the team's finances, so you must balance performance with the cost of running the organization.

You can also invest in your headquarters and its infrastructure to strengthen the racing operation. Manage the team's expenses and choose whether to spend aggressively for immediate performance or build patiently for the future. Across seasons, you recruit talent, develop cars, strengthen staff, improve facilities and compete for championships.
