F1 MANAGER 2000 PRICE UPGRADE
The board will ultimately decide if your team management, car and facility upgrade programmes and on-track performance are up to scratch. Do you spend cash on short-term car upgrades or wait for a new wind tunnel to be built and sacrifice a whole season? Keeping your bosses happy Nowhere is that truer than budgeting for long-term facility upgrades. It seems as if the core gameplay loop is balancing resources. You can’t make a powerful power unit with only a set of spanners and sockets. However, your team’s ability to implement successful upgrades also relies on the facilities it has at its disposal. It’s Enrico Cardile not ‘John Smith’ who send you an email about Ferrari’s aerodynamic updates, for example. In an added dash of authenticity, the team engineers match the real world. Similarly, it could take away engineering resources from other projects. Selecting an upgrade area may also impact others, such as enhancing drag reduction but reducing engine cooling. You don’t just simply select ‘improve car’, but specifically front wing, rear wing, sidepods or underfloor and you can see how improvements to each element affect car performance attributes. With this in mind, you can then commission research and development for car parts that may aid performance at that venue. Let’s say your car is struggling with high-speed corner grip, and Silverstone is approaching on the calendar.
You can also delve into track-specific performance. The same is true with items such as brake colling or dirty air cornering abilities.
Here, characteristics such as low, medium and high-speed cornering performance are measured in g-force and then compared to the grid average or a specific team of your choosing. The direction of a team’s car development rests squarely on your shoulders in F1 Manager 22 and is crucial to success.īefore you consider which upgrade path to pursue, you must first learn which performance parameters your current vehicle is a leader in, and which areas it lags behind the competition. Countless hours will be lost flipping between tabs, scrolling down options and making big decisions.
There’s one screen at the far left of the user interface that will provide you with snippers of information, or you can tab through dedicated areas for more detailed analysis. Yes, you will be able to watch races as they play out, but the core competence, and therefore where you will spend most of your time, is in the home menu. You’ll spend most of your time in a menu – as it should be You take over an existing team, and cannot create your own. The aim is to win championships, of course, but before then make sure the team is developing, progressing along an upward trajectory and staying solvent. So, it’s goodbye Toto Wolff, hello to you. You play as the Team Principal, not the drivers, of one existing real-world team.
This sits alongside any existing PC, console or mobile F1 games and is the first dedicated game of this ilk since Electronic Art’s F1 Manager from 2000. Before we dive in further, a management game is in many ways more about the off-track administration than it is the on-track racing.
