Supplies!

On the 27th January iGP's suppliers will release revised engines, tyres and fuel. This will shake up the order and is aimed at creating variety in the choices people make in which suppliers they select in-game. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on the forum regarding this idea, we have taken in all your feedback and will be doing our best to balance the update in such a way that there is more than one supplier for each component that can be used while remaining competitive.

Originally when iGP was developed I had intended for new engines, tyres and fuel to be released on a cyclical basis. This idea was later scrapped when we completely rebuilt the supply system and car attributes for the version 2 update. Unfortunately the release of that update has been postponed several times due to unforeseen circumstances. We hope that early this year we will be able to refocus our efforts on that project and get it released, as it is very near to completion.

In in the interim, we are also looking at other possibilities to spice up strategies. One idea is to have more dry tyre compounds, which will allow for much broader strategic choices, and switching to a new in-house weather system, creating more weather variety all year round. I will update you once we have more news on those developments.

This announcement is just to give all managers some forewarning of the coming changes. Be prepared to switch suppliers on the 27th of January to keep a competitive edge!
