I’ve been playing this game since it came out as F1 Manager. It use to be a fun and fair game that you could spend $2 here, $20 there. Its been my number 1 go to game for many years now. Over the years, the developers listened to it’s clients and improved the game as they hoped to make it a better experience for all. But I noticed that it began to favor paying players, which is ok, it’s a business for profit. I bought upgrades every once in a while. I love the game and it’s fair to pay for it. Unfortunately this last season it became impossible to play without paying. So if you’re new and plan on downloading this game, you will have a lot of fun at first, but as you progress, it’s going to cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to compete. (There are players spending hundreds of dollars per week!) As a example, in a effort to combat “sandbagging”, the developers redesigned matchmaking, But it became so unfair that unless you dump lots of $$ into to your team, you’ll never win! You’ll be racing at back of the pack and your opponent will comfortably run in the top 10. And often your opponent is a BOT! I’ve spend over $100 since the new season came out a few weeks ago. I’ve been on discord and learned how setup my team for different tracks, I’ve contact support, I’ve shout out to the community. The response is, $$$. With difficulty and some luck, I did progress, some. But without paying more, I’m stuck and it’s no longer fun. I guess I’ll give it a go from time to time as updates come out. Maybe they will change things.
