## What is American Speedway Manager?

American Speedway Manager is a racing strategy game. Manage your team, upgrade and configure your car to adapt to each race.
Compete in a championship of 16 stages and oval circuits of the nascar style, in cities of the United States.
California, Tennessee, Darlington, Florida, Dover, Madison, Carolina, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Arizona.


TOTAL CAR CONFIGURATION
Full configuration of car settings. Engine power adjustments, transmission adjustments, aerodynamics, and suspension adjustments.
These adjustments affect the behavior of the vehicle. Both in acceleration at top speed and in tire wear.
Try all kinds of settings to find the most suitable for each race.


IMPROVEMENTS
Upgrades increase the performance of the car.
It is necessary to make all these improvements since the other cars will also improve in each race.


DRAG
Get behind a faster car and take advantage of the DRAG to gain speed.
Approaching a car from behind creates an air bubble that drags you and equalizes the speeds of both vehicles.



CHANGING WEATHER
Changing weather during races. You can start the race in sunny weather and switch to rain. You will have to adapt and select the right tire for each circumstance.



TIRE SELECTION
The choice of tire is very important for the performance of the car.
A soft tire is faster than a harder tire but has more wear.
The selected drive and car settings change the tire degradation time.



DRIVERS
The drivers improve the car's performance thanks to their skills.
It is important to improve these skills with the experience gained in racing.



MAINTENANCE
During races the car suffers degradation of some of its components such as the engine, transmission etc.
It is very important to carry out maintenance to start each race with the car in optimum condition.



TEAM
Develop and upgrade your team to increase performance during races. A very important factor is the training of the mechanics to decrease the time of the pit stops.

### 2/5 — Massive Downgrade

*2026-08-06*

I used to play this game a long while ago, and it was a decent pastime. Now it is lazy slop with ads every time a button is pressed. Every car is also just number 12?? How can a game possibly get worse??

### 5/5 — Love the game just tired of having everyone as the number 12

*2026-07-29*

Now I love playing this game but I wish everyone was different numbers other than number 12 like the most recent version please bring back the different numbers cause I really hate this version where you’re not different numbers

### 5/5 — Sound

*2026-05-03, version 1.1.9*

Can I turn the motor noises off so I can listen to music while I play or just not have the engines blaring in my ear

### 3/5 — Great game but no option to take ads off

*2026-03-06, version 1.1.9*

Please let me pay to take ads off

### 5/5 — 3 easy things would make this game actually a 5 star

*2026-01-07*

To be clear I think in its current state this game is 3 stars, but because this game may still have developers working in it I’m giving 5 to boost the ratings. For those thinking about trying it out please do because it is very fun.

The first issue with the game is exiting the pit lane. At least 1-2 times a race I’m stuck in a position where I can’t avoid either hitting or getting hit at the pit exit. A simple brakes button would suffice or no collision for 10 seconds on exiting pit.

The second and third is a general lack of information and development. I should be able to see the stats the different ai cars have either before the race, after the race or in the season ranking section of the game. Currently there is no way to actually tell a difference in the upgrades and why you are winning or losing. 

To the devs or dev. I do freelance working on games in my spare time and I’m guessing the constant exiting pit collisions stems from a lack of non-developer testing. There’s little I can say about the lack of information given to players other than the game is great I’d just love more quality of life improvements. With a little better graphics, better ui during races and play testing this game could go a long way.

### 3/5 — 会闪退

*2025-12-17*

玩不了一点

### 3/5 — Need volume settings

*2025-12-04*

I would give a four star but I really would like volume settings because I don’t want to always have to listen to the menu music and other types of sounds that would be nice please and thank you

### 5/5 — Лучшее

*2025-10-01*

Да, игра не может дать вам графон, но она вам дает уникальный геймплей (для телефона точно). Рекомендую

### 3/5 — Update

*2025-09-25, version 1.1.9*

The update is good except for all the cars being number 12. That is stupid!!!!

### 4/5 — The new update isn’t the best

*2025-09-24*

I have had this game for about a month and I liked because of its immature gameplay and mechanics. But now it looks so professional. The cars are so much more smoother which I don’t like because I prefer the immature look. The UGI is so much more rounded and nicer and more modern. A good change is that when the AI crashes the other AI does as well and that all my progress saved.
