iGP Manager Version 3.0 is here!
It's the moment we've all been waiting for! I can finally announce with great pride that a series of major updates are now live in iGP Manager. Many of you will have been following the news about some of these updates for months, such as the new 2018 car shape. Although the car itself was finished some time ago, we decided to turn this in to one major update containing a raft of improvements.
What’s new in version 3.0?
The entire changelog is too long to list here, and is available on the forum. Here are the notable highlights:
- New 2018 car - with 5 new liveries and a massive graphical overhaul to the entire environment on all platforms, it is a visually stunning upgrade that raises the bar.
- New reminder notifications – never miss a thing as you can choose to be reminded (while outside of the app or website) of the practice lock deadline, race start, expiring driver/staff/sponsor contracts and HQ construction projects.
- Improved tyre performance and balance – all tyre compounds have been modified for better balance and to enable more strategies. Performance levels and wear rates have been adjusted, and wear is now scaled to race duration to achieve a universal consensus on tyres.
- New deep-linking system – all links to igpmanager.com/app will now open in-app on mobile phones and tablets, enabling easy sharing of profiles, leagues, driver auctions and more.
- New tutorials - with user-friendly step-by-step instructions and far more depth, it’s easier than ever to introduce your friends to iGP Manager.
- New rewarded video ads partner - increased availability of ads and stability of playback in all regions.
- In-app web browser – continue your account session on the forum with no need to login again, even launching external websites inside iGP Manager, before returning to the app effortlessly.
- Faster loading times - across the entire app, and particularly in the live race viewer, loading times have been greatly reduced, by utilising intelligent background loading and caching, so you shouldn’t miss a thing while anything loads.
- Greatly improved translations – our translation team have been armed with new and improved tools, making it easier for them to improve all translations on an ongoing basis.
- New translations – two new languages have been added in Catalan and Balkans region, and in-race commentary is, for the first time, translated in all languages as of this update.
Server migration
In August we took the bold move to migrate the entire service to a new hosting provider in search of better performance and stability. After a week or so of teething issues, the new setup has been more or less running like clockwork ever since. It has been a huge success, and opens the door for the future growth of iGP Manager while maintaining a high standard and quality of service.

Unfortunately, the 3.1 version is still unstable and I've lost the second race. Any chance to improve in the near future?
Now i may see my second car also. Thank you for your help and time solving this problem. One suggestion gear box has one thing more to ad in the setting. And CONGRATULATIONS Jack Basford and your team for this GREAT Game. All the best.
@Chris - It's normal. The car image will only update if you save it.
@Pooky - have you upgraded to version 3.1 of the app?
John / Demon King / Dana - We're investigating all of the things you are reporting and hoping to release an additional patch within a couple of days ironing out any potential causes we can find. Sadly, we can't reproduce the issues you are having at the moment and the vast majority of users are not having them, which makes it harder to pinpoint.
I'm ready for leaving this game all together
The game has frozen yet again. 3rd night in a row even after 3.1 update how post to win when can't even do race
I run in the 50 percent races and apart from Monaco the SS are a rarity to apply, at best after 5/6 laps the S are 1 second behind ... however I think that to solve these differences in the game, you have to proportion the petrol as it was made for the tires in the 50 75 100% races, always if this is applicable
I want it fixed very soon.
Hey your update has killed my race viewer.
Hi Jack, just curious. The new car model did not show up on my Cars/Standings pages until I upgraded my uploaded a new livery. Is that by design? I'm finding that consistent for other managers, too, as most cars on league standings still show the old car models.
