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.

Since the update, I can only see the track with one driver, when I swap to the other the screen just goes black, makes it difficult to follow the race and use boost etc.
Same issue in the livery page.
Last two races frooze but I've updated it today so will see tonight if it freezes again
Sloooooooooow loading and freezing during race , no doubt this will be ironed out ……..Yes?
@Assur B: The fuel weight calculation is spot on. Changing it would make it less realistic, and introduce new problems.
-H now is just too slow because its major and only benefit is it can do great laps from 25th to 40th of the stint but going over 25 laps makes the weight of the fuel be so high that will lose tons of seconds from lap 1st to 24th of the stint.
I guess a simple way to balance all tyres in 100% would be just reducing the impact of fuel weight has on overall race performance. this way M compound can affectively race for 25-30 laps and H for 35-40 laps. Wont lose anything trying that for 17 days
-S became now an all-conditions compound hard to beat. Able to run fast on P1 when its 30ºC and push P4 in some circuits when its 10º for an even better pace with long duration.
-M now is finally an acceptable choice but very hard to use properly , very usefull when the high temperture + circuit tyre wear make the S forced to run at P1 all the time, in that case M can go P2 and P3 and get a better overall stint but quite hard to put this in practice.
Thanks for your anwer Jack, let me tell you my feedback about tyres on 100% races.
-SS now are quite fast first 8-10 laps then S become faster for 12-14 laps stints. Only usefull aplication to SS are using them to get a better grid position at start, meaning "gaining" 1-4 seconds to S just from the start, AND using SS in a short final stint about 6-8 laps. Besides Monaco that will always be SS that is the actual use for this compound.
Regarding issues during the race, please make sure you update to version 3.1 which was released earlier tonight.
Also, thanks for the feedback on the tyres.
I can't see my second driver in live race. It's a black screen. Please fix that. Thank you
Yea jack it needs changing in 75%. Like tonight in Hungary usually super softs only after a few laps the Softa was faster so no use at all to use super soft or hards
