About Team Principal: A Racing Manager

Welcome to Team Principal: A Racing Manager. Initially a passion project, this game has become much more for me. It is a completely customizable grand prix/motorsport manager game, with a simplistic top down 2d race view. Most of the game is in the in-depth management aspect. Some key features include:

- An ever-changing grid: Teams & engines can leave, go bankrupt, join, rebrand, get bought out, fluctuate season to season. No two seasons will ever be the same, with a virtually limitless grid size.
- Simplistic, yet in-depth race simulation complete with customizable temperature, weather, dirty air, tire wear, fuel consumption, safety cars, mechanical wear, and realistic results, with both simulated and non-simulated options available.- In-Depth finance system with stock, ownership, and ability to purchase stakes in rivals.- Completely in-depth academy pipe-line system with ability to pay to assign your rookie drivers in junior series teams, have them test for you, learn the ropes in rival junior teams you own, and eventually promote them to your team.- In-depth regulatory system that can change the environment of the game season to season.- In-depth negotiation system for tyres, parts, sponsorship, works engines, customer engines, and drivers. - Ability to build and sell your own engines through an engine plant, or partner with an existing engine supplier.- Extremely intelligent AI who are truly difficult to beat.- Fully fleshed out car attributes, driver attributes, staff attributes, headquarters, etc.- In-depth chassis, aero, engine, and tyre development.This game aims to be a simplistic, yet fully customizable racing management sandbox experience for racing in every era, with almost every aspect of the game able to be edited and changed. Team names, performance, dirty air, tire model, points model, anything one can think of can be edited to your liking.

This game is in active development & will receive extremely frequently updates. Please join the game's discord server, wherein I will share future plans, update timelines, provide bug support, as well as the track editor. This game is extremely mod friendly, and an open canvas for any situations one wishes to develop.

I have played a number of F1 manager games, including the recent F1 mangers, but this one is the most in-depth F1 management game since GPW. Here are some of the Reasons why this game is so good! - Modding (creates different start points, so 1999( best mod), 2015 etc etc) - Car development - Negotiations for sponsors and all parts - Title sponsor changes change the team names! - Great Young driver structure - Basic Relationship dashboard, which show rivalries between drivers - Each Season is fresh as new teams, drivers, engines, tyres etc can arrive or depart the game All in all a great game in early accees. The only real downside is the lack of visuals, but polish is coming with every update

Totally willing to change the review after more works been put into the game but the UI is just so unintuitive it literally makes my eyes hurt after a half an hour, theres definitly a deep managment sim under the hood but it's hard enough to learn without the poor UI and no guides whatsoever.

Rough around the edges but overall a very in depth, solid management game with many differing gameplay elements (Pre-season tests, engine and tyre manufacturer contracts, etc.) that add together to create a decent gameplay experience.

Very enjoyable game, reminds me of the old Grand prix World game. I imagine I will be spending quite a lot of time on this.

There might be a great management game in there somewhere, but it's buried under a lot of work that has to happen. As it is, it's full of Claudeisms with a general feeling of being not very well made. Blurry text, inconsistent and inadequate design, weirdly clunky navigation, no sound whatsoever... hopefully I will remember to check again in 2030
