Shoestring Racing

A shoestring budget and no results to speak of. As owner and boss of this tiny racing team, take it around the world and fight your way to the top. Develop your drivers and your cars, win over sponsors, and plan a strategy to win. Once the lights go out, it's in your drivers' hands. Every call you make can lift a backmarker onto the podium, and all the way to the championship. But that is where the real challenge begins. Rivals closing in, rule changes every few years, other teams trying to poach your ace. Whether you can stay on top and build a dynasty that makes history is up to you. ■ Grow your drivers ・Driver stats grow with experience, including speed, consistency, tire management, overtaking, blocking, starts, and wet-weather skill ・Personalities and a different mood each race give every driver a style of their own. How your two drivers get along shows in the team's mood and stories ・Ranks from D to S, career stats, and a record of every team a driver has driven for ・Raise young talent from your junior academy and turn it into your ace ・Drivers you battle again and again become your nemesis, with a head-to-head record ■ Develop your car ・Improve the engine, chassis, aerodynamics, and suspension.

Choosing the right tires for the weather matters ・Watch the race on an overhead track map with a live standings board, the commentary log, and your team monitor. Speed it up, or go straight to the results ・Overtakes, contact, driver mistakes, car trouble, and pit-crew errors all happen ・Finish in the top three to stand on the podium, with confetti when it's your team ■ Run the team ・Negotiate sponsor deals with bonus clauses, sign drivers, and handle next-season talks and poaching offers ・Keep an eye on your budget.
