## What is Pit Lane Tycoon?

Most idle games reset you to the same game with bigger numbers. This one changes what you actually do.

You start in a karting garage with nothing but a car and your thumb. Tap for laps, hire a mechanic, then a chief mechanic, and watch the money start to run itself.

Then you close your first season, and the game hands you a different job.

BUILD THE LINE
Season points buy an assembly chain: engine, gearbox, aero. Each stage eats the output of the one before it, so your throughput is whatever your slowest stage is, and everything above it is wasted. You are not buying the most expensive part you can afford. You are balancing a flow.

RUN THE TEAM
Promotion brings engineers, split across three departments that feed three things you cannot trade for one another: production makes money, R&D widens the line, the race bay earns licences. Licences buy your next class, and nothing else does.

RACE EVERY SEASON
A season is a ten-round championship. Rounds resolve on their own, including while the app is closed, so coming back means reading a result instead of only collecting cash. Your pace comes from how well balanced your line is, not from how much you spent. Your first season is a rookie season, and you will lose it.

CLIMB THE LADDER
Karting, then the junior single-seaters, then the top class, then works-team status. The silhouette in your garage changes with every promotion, and so does the speedometer.

ALSO IN THE GARAGE
- Progress while you are away, with a cap you can raise
- Three daily goals and a streak worth protecting
- 31 named goals across the garage, the line, the crew and the track
- Team colours and patterns that paint your car, your helmet and your home screen icon
- No account and no sign-in

Free to play. Ads are optional and never interrupt a run.
