We're thrilled to announce a new update for iGP Manager, featuring various improvements and fixes. In this developer blog, we'll provide an overview of the key changes and updates you can expect in the game.

Re-balanced Racing

We've made significant adjustments to enhance the balance of racing, focusing on tyre performance, ride height impact, and special abilities. These changes provide a more dynamic and strategic gameplay experience, where managers must consider a variety of factors when making decisions on and off the track.

Engine Manufacturer Updates

We've introduced new features for engine manufacturers, including a more interactive applicant system for engine customers and the ability to hide or show engine tuning attributes. These updates provide manufacturers with greater control over their contracts and engine information.

User Interface and Bug Fixes

We've improved the UI hover tooltip on star ratings for desktop users, now displaying Driver Special Abilities and Chief Designer Strength and Weakness. Additionally, we've fixed numerous bugs and UI issues, such as dynamic XP updates and problems related to engine manufacturers and grid positions in Quick Races.

Weather Data Provider Change

To provide a more accurate real-time weather simulation, we've switched our weather data provider from DarkSky to OpenWeather.

Legacy Youth Driver Removal

To streamline the youth academy roster, we've removed all legacy youth drivers from 2021 and earlier.

We're confident these changes will make iGP Manager even more enjoyable and immersive. Thank you for your continuous support, and we look forward to hearing your feedback on the new update.

Happy racing!
