About Formula Racing Manager
Design Philosophy
FRM offers a unique sandbox experience. The game focuses on bringing the management aspect of the motorsport world to life by providing a challenging simulation, where you steer a racing team in a dynamically changing racing world while respecting your time. Seasons are dynamic, quick, and exciting.
Dynamic
You take on one of ten teams in the most prestigious motorsport competition. Not only do you need to pick suppliers and secure new sponsors each season, but suppliers and sponsors will change over time. Even teams might decide to sell their team to suppliers and sponsors bringing new names into the competition.
Drivers and Staff will be the backbone of your team, but they also develop and hone their skills and will eventually retire. When they retire, you may choose a new name and nationality for the newcomers that will generate or choose to let their names be reincarnated into the talent pool.
Putting the Manager into the Manager Genre
You will not spend most of your time babysitting your drivers on the track. You are paying a race engineer to do that after all. Instead, you will plan the race weekend, and tell them what to focus on and what degree of risk you want them to take for the strategy.
This game is about car development, financial management, picking the right staff, and the right drivers, and planning to get your team to the top of the world.
In-Game Editor
The game has an In-Game Editor to offer all kinds of customization. Change Teams, Drivers, Sponsors, Suppliers and so on. Make the game yours and upload it to the workshop for others to experience!
What this is not!
I don't want to lie to you and I don't want to oversell my game. So here is a quick disclaimer telling you what this game is not:
- This game does not offer any modeled race simulation. They are done in the background and you will get the results. This is nothing that will be done during the life-time of this game. And if you want to see cars go fast, you need to look at Motorsport Manager or F1 Manager.
- This is not a detailed car simulation. The car stats and the car development are quite gamified. On the flip side this means that this game does not require any knowledge about aerodynamics, air resistance or how engine goes brrrrrr...
- This game is not AAA polished and if it where, it would be 6x as expensive. I am working solo, I am trying to realize my vision for my games to the best of my abilities.

A great, reasonably priced Formula racing simulation. In an age of graphics-first and spreadsheet management, it is somewhat refreshing to see a sandbox experience where you can plan more for the medium-long term than spending ages looking through menus or trying to understand over-complicated features. If you want to live the fantasy of being an F1 team manager and see a racing world unfold before you but don't have hours and hours to spend progress-grinding, this is the game for you. 100% recommend especially if/when it goes on offer. Congrats Rand.Exe Studios and keep up the good work, hopefully you find the time and encouragement from the community to keep upgrading the game.3 found this helpful
[h1] Fast paced F1 management done right [/h1] Formula Racing Manager isn't a game you'll spend hours looking through menu's trying to delicately fine tune your team or car, instead it's a fast paced game with a lot of depth in the back end. The most time you'll spend in menu's is the first half of the season where you'll be trying to figure out where to allocate your time with sponsors to try and find the best deal for next season while also figuring out the best part to upgrade. The racing is done in a few seconds and it's all simulated behind the scenes and it does a surprisingly good job at it! [h2] No Licence, No Problem [/h2] Now this is obviously not licensed so by default the game comes with it's own preset teams, staff etc etc BUT the game houses a really in depth editor which is really only missing a handful of features but it does allow you to customize almost every aspect from drivers ratings to their history to staff attributes to the individual aspects of a teams car to the sponsors on the cars etc etc it's really quite in depth and it all works really well. Now if you're someone who wants to play with said licenses then luckily this game comes with workshop suppo…1 found this helpful
Good game for the lovers of F1 Management games, you can see some inspiration I think from GPW and others. It's a different take as you can simulate seasons pretty fast and focus on long term rather then race by race as other simulators do. Being a small team, surely a positive review as the base it's pretty solid but with more development and resources (or maybe a sequel) it could really punch above its weight. Being a fan of the genre, kinda surprised I found it almost by chance, as steam never suggested it to me before1 found this helpful
Honestly quite an excellent game. It's not very complex, but sufficiently interesting. It does away with micromanagement in favour of a more macro strategy overall. It took me several years to start winning races with Haas, and some more to win a constructors'.
Awesome game! Very easy to learn with limitless entertainment :)
This was worth looking at. I hope the developer continues to improve. There are better out there but this still swims in its own lane.
