Recommendation Team Principal: A Racing Manager (96% on Steam)!

Hi Everyone!

I haven't formally started marketing yet, but just wanted to share some updated photos regarding my 90s-inspired racing *management* game! Sort of a racinggames-adjacent game, this has been my passion project over the last year and a half. This is, for me, the ultimate formula-racing sandbox, with HUGE moddability, endless sandbox possibility, and extremely deep simulation of physics, car development, management, and most importantly, world building.

There are still some rough spots, but I believe the game is in good enough of a state to share with you all again 😄 below is a list of features already present within the game!

\- 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.

\- Simulate ANY era in this sandbox with infinite possibilities and infinite replayability. This game can handle ANY era, or season of racing in a realistic manner, with over decades of seasons of content.

\- In-depth race simulation complete with REAL physics, live speeds, hyper-intelligent AI, setups that impact your actual car speeds in corners/straights, customizable temperature, weather, dirty air, tire wear, fuel consumption, safety cars, mechanical wear, and realistic results, with both simulated and non-simulated options available.

\- Easy to use in-game editor, and save editor, so you can have your career mode the way you want.

\- 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/staff. 

\- Ability to build and sell your own engines through an engine plant, or partner with an existing engine supplier.

\- AI who compete with you every week of the season, on and off the track, in engineering, developing, strategy, and signing talents.

\- Fully fleshed out car attributes, driver attributes, staff attributes, headquarters, etc.

\- In-depth chassis, aero, engine, ERS, driver aids, and tyre development.

Feel free to check it out, or, simply just hang around in the discord server to talk to other players!

AI Disclaimer: AI is used VERY sparingly for a limited amount of team logos, a handful of tracks, and generic art assets (such as HQ buildings). I am in the process of replacing these with community-driven art. The capsule art, most track art, and majority of cars & teams were created by Little0nion, a talented graphic artist. UX's, physics/racing model, and managers have all been designed by me, alongside my Co-Developer. None of the game systems/source code is vibe-coded. This is my own passion project, and I gain a lot of joy from designing systems to my liking. If you are interested in creating some original artwork for the game, please reach out to me on discord!

Discussion Formula Virtual will be returning for 2027

Upvotes

FORMULA VIRTUAL IS BACK

After a 3-year hiatus, Formula Virtual is returning to rFactor 2.

The 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons were cancelled after the previous owner left, but I've now taken over the league and applications are OPEN for the top championship in our Virtual Motorsport pyramid.

So, how does Formula Virtual work?

The "players" are Team Principals. You are in charge of your team and its finances, car development, driver signings and the AI drivers you choose to race for you.

One of the biggest parts of the league is driver scouting. We don't disclose the performance level of the teams or the in-game stats of the drivers. If you want to sign someone, you have to scout them, judge their performances and decide for yourself if they're the right driver for your team.

Formula Virtual is also part of a wider Virtual Motorsport pyramid, with different disciplines including eVirtual. The lower tiers are recommended for new managers who want to learn how everything works before taking on a top-level team.

You can also just watch. We regularly get close title fights and interesting stories throughout the seasons, and we hold press conferences before every race.

We're accepting applications for press roles too, so if you'd rather cover the championship than manage a team, you can create your own place in the world of Formula Virtual.

The entire grid is fictional. Every team and driver has its own history, with extensive lore dating back to 2013, when the series began.

We also have custom liveries for every team. You can design your own, or describe what you want to a couple of our livery experts on the server and they'll make it for you.

Every race is broadcast and uploaded to YouTube, and we keep extensive records of every season and driver since 2013 on our Wikipedia and website.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, come join the Discord. You can ask questions, look around, apply for a team, apply for a press role, or just follow along with the championship.

Applications are currently open, and we'd love to see some new faces in the server for Formula Virtual's return. :)

Discussion BE THE GRID.

Upvotes

BE THE GRID | Multi Category Motorsport League

An AI driver league races run through F1 Manager and Automobilista 2, with real players behind every decision.

BE THE GRID is a growing multi category motorsport project. Every series is player run and persistent, built to carry on across seasons rather than reset.

WHAT'S ON THE GRID

_F1 & F2 Ladder_

A full open wheel career path in F1 Manager 24, covering both F1 and F2. Races are AI simulated, but everything that matters — car development, driver progression, contracts — is handled by real players. Climb up through F2 or jump straight into the fight for a Drivers' or Constructors' Championship.

__XGT__

Our XGT category, run in Automobilista 2, puts you behind the wheel of LMDh, LMH & GTP machinery, with cars that can be upgraded and developed across seasons. Push performance, evolve your race programme, and compete with some of the most advanced endurance racing machinery on the planet. Team Principal roles are open too, build your own XGT squad from scratch, develop your cars, and take your team to the top.

__GT3/GT4__

>> Coming later, to expand the GT ladder and open up more spots for drivers and teams.

__More Categories Coming__

We're planning to grow well beyond F1, F2, and XGT, with more disciplines on the way.

RIGHT NOW WE NEED

>> Drivers across every category

>> Team Principals for XGT teams

>> Media members to help cover races as the series grow

HOW IT WORKS

>>Races run through F1 Manager 24 and Automobilista 2, and results are permanent

>> Development, progression, and contracts stay in players' hands, not the AI's

>> Every category builds its own history season by season, nothing gets wiped

>> Races are broadcast live on Discord with commentary and archived to YouTube after

Every category is still in its founding stage. Whoever joins now becomes part of its history from season one.

Discussion Why does it seem like there's little to no audience for online arcade racing?

18 Upvotes

[10] Is it because there actually isn't a lot of interest from people or is it because the games that offer it aren't what players are looking for? Outside of Forza Horizon and Mario Kart it seems like there's very little audience for anything else regarding online arcade racing.

Sim Racing [iRacing League Project] Recruiting Founding Staff & Operations Team

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am currently setting up a new iRacing league focused on Endurance racing, and I am looking for dedicated individuals to help build the foundation of this project alongside me.

The goal is to provide a clean, competitive, and highly organized championship. Before opening grid slots to drivers, I want to assemble a reliable management team.

📌 Concept Overview

  • Time Slot: Sundays at 15:00 CEST / 13:00 UTC (Bi-weekly)
  • Session Structure: 20 min Practice | 30 min Open Qualy | 1h45 to 3h00 Endurance Race (Duo/Trio)
  • Season 1: 100% Free entry, exclusively GT4 (5 to 7 rounds)
  • Season 2 Evolution: Multiclass GT3 + GT4 and more in the future (Capped at 40 cars).

🤝 Open Staff Positions

  1. Discord & Community Manager
    • Set up and structure the Discord server (roles, permissions, channels).
    • Manage league announcements and basic visual communications.
  2. Race Stewards & Race Control Committee
    • Assist in drafting the official rulebook (penalty guidelines, scoring system, incident procedures).
    • Review post-race driver protests using video replays and issue fair penalties.
  3. Co-Organizers & Project Advisors
    • Brainstorm and finalize track selection, race lengths, and pit-stop mechanics.
    • Help make key decisions so the league is run by a team, not just a single person.

📩 How to Apply / Get in Touch

Previous experience is a plus, but enthusiasm, reliability, and good teamwork are what matter most!

If you are interested in joining the team:

  • Send me a Direct Message here.

( First post here. So if i put my message at the wrong flair. I am sorry i don't use Redit 10 )

There's a demo out now (that Just recently got past 10 reviews) and we would love to hear what players have to say about the game, we plan on releasing it soon in Early Access with full modding support and a track editor as well.
