Small demo update


I have tweaked the demo today, mainly machine performance balancing and fixed a small issue with names in raceview, all saved games are unaffected when this is installed so give it a go !

Bought myself a new laptop, which means I can FINALLY play this game for a bit longer.


Well, I don't know how to play this game, so I just choose tyres and strategies at random in the hopes of it working somehow (which didn't, but oh well). Turns out, it's a bad idea. Until now, I still don't know how to properly play this game.

The game feels somewhat smoother than before (duh). Even then, performance issues still arise during races (particularly in Le Mans, for some reason) where lag spikes usually occur and sometimes races slow down and speed up periodically which kind of annoys me.

It's no longer possible for smaller teams to acquire good staff (so far) except for scouts, which is an improvement that I quite like. The date is now next to the CONTINUE button, which is also nice.


I still have a few other minor issues since the last version, including:

  • I can only scout one driver at a time which is still annoying.
  • Entering and exiting the start menu sometimes turns on the sound automatically.
  • Entering and exiting the rider setup menu resets the race speed.
  • Speaking of, I still think the available options for race speed (> and >>) is still a bit lacking, perhaps a >>> option would be a nice addition.
  • Speaking of, I also feel like the game is progressing a bit too slowly (because I'm used to fast-paced games) because I can't just skip race weekends and such, but that's not as big of an issue as eberything else, as far as I'm concerned.


I'm still quite excited on the future of this project, especially after the changes made in the latest demo.

Hello, thanks for your message, I am putting together a user guide so when this is done I will make this available. Race speed does reset to normal when leaving/returning to race view, it has to do this and can't really be changed unfortunately. 

I can take a look at an additional game speed option. Scouting is something that is set to scout one rider at a time, I may be able to increase this to 2/3, will see what I can do. As for game performance at the French GP - there is no reason for this as nothing special happens for this event, but will look into it.

Glad you like the changes to the demo though, I do listen to player feedback and make changes where I can - hopefully the full game isn't too far away from being completed.
