There was a bug where starting on hard tyres would affect your qualifying time, now fixed in the latest coming update. Hope you find the time to try the game again and enjoy it! ### 2/5 — Everything is hard to read *2026-07-18* Bad contrast, but cool idea ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2026-07-15* Good minimalist design. Let down by the core mechanic of the board of directors who get upset should you fall out of favour. Played as the Red Bull team, so I had to finish every race P1 (dull). Verstappen DNF’d in 2 of the 3 races before I was sacked for not meeting the requirements despite being on a B rating with the board as had been doing good with Perez. Feels like a slap after investing coins and building a team and then getting whacked. Tried Sauber and got fired after 2 races. Williams and fired after 2 races. Either hit the expected results or you’ll be gone quickly. **Developer response:** Hi Kinichie, Thanks for the detailed feedback, and glad the core presentation is landing well. The chairman system is one of our newest additions and is still being tuned. We’re working on a buffer when joining a new team to smooth out this kind of variance so board patience scales with the realistic rebuilding time a team, rather than punishing short-term bad luck. Appreciate you sticking with it through the frustration. Updates on this are coming and I hope this will improve your experience. ### 2/5 — Could be good but isn’t *2026-06-24* The progression is pretty bad, race strategy suggestions are pretty bad, the mini games for ur cats setup quality is pretty bad, it all could be better with some improvements and it definitely has potential but as of right now it’s not great. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. Since this review, a lot has changed: progression has been reworked with more meaningful pacing, and track complexity has been expanded to make race strategy feel more rewarding. New updates focused on track realism and chairman improvements are on the way. Hope the changes address what you ran into, and appreciate you giving it a shot. ### 3/5 — I like the game but it’s to difficult *2026-07-21* You add the chairmen and it doesn’t matter what I’m doing my dude can get first every single race but the second he gets 2nd I’m fired and that’s stupid I wanna keep playing this game cuz theirs nothing like it it just needs a lot of work ### 3/5 — Good Game Bugs Need Work *2026-06-25* Game is great and a lot of fun but there are some money bugs with penalties and some BIG BUGS where the game will show you finished a race give you the coins for finishing the race but display it as a DNF for points standings **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the feedback, we’re working on it. The issue you’re describing is tied to tyre compounds: if you don’t pit for a different compound during the race, the result is currently flagged as a disqualification even though you still cross the line and collect the coins. That distinction isn’t made clear right now, and we’re fixing both the messaging and the display so a compound violation shows correctly instead of appearing as a DNF. Appreciate you flagging it. ### 4/5 — Great game but.. *2026-07-28* Honestly great game, only concern is for some reason my drivers would dnf at the end everytime. I would finish the race and it would say dnf, don’t know why very frustrating. Besides that definitely would be cool seeing better updates for the games ### 4/5 — Fun game for early access, looking forward to more depth *2026-06-21* Fun time killer! The lack of SC during races, proper random events (other than get X money or pay X money after race) and proper driver development or stats makes things stale pretty quickly. I will happily come back in a couple months after more Features have been added! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback, glad you’re enjoying it so far. A safety car system and more meaningful random events along with deeper driver development and specifics stats for qualifying, consistency etc. are coming soon. Looking forward to having you back once these land, appreciate you giving it a shot. ### 5/5 — This game is amazing!! *2026-07-22* Over the past couple of weeks or so ive been looking for a fun 'motorsport manager' game and this here man....so fun. it did NOT take me anytime to buy the god mode. there is just one thing customization wise- some country flags dont show up- like argentina for example, also changing your team colors or the other teams colors..I also really love how the regs can get changed as time goes on AND driver moves/ retirements. Such a fun game and im glad I supported you!! ### 5/5 — It needs more work before it’s truly 5 stars but it’s very ambitious the only game of its type *2026-07-03* Very fun ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — offline fun *2026-06-27* a lot of fun. this is a great casual manager game. as a karting driver, have thought that this is very realistic for how simple it is. ### 5/5 — Great Offline Game *2026-06-26* I totally recommend this game. It’s easy to learn, addictive and no WiFi needed. I like the customizability ### 5/5 — Loads of fun *2026-06-02* A very laid back and enjoyable game I spend all my pastime playing. There’s nothing else like this currently available in the mobile gaming scene. Would recommend checking out god mode if you are a hardcore motorsport fan as it adds another level of customisation to the game, although the game is still bucketloads of fun without it! ### 5/5 — Great fast-paced offline game *2026-05-30* Very fun strategy, high pressure and easier to play than other racing games. This is exactly the kind of game I’ve been looking for. ### 5/5 — Game review *2026-05-20* Decent tbf --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
