F1 Clash - Car Racing Manager 4+

Post overtaking fix has provided a much more positive experience. There does seem to be some tracks which are near impossible to overtake which really shouldn’t be eg. Monza & Abu Dhabi. One feature I’m not a big fan of is there seems to be an RNG roll on how your drivers perform each race. How I seem to interpret it is if your driver has 70 overtaking, each race there will be a roll of 1-70 to determine how well you will overtake, same with defending etc. If true, from a realism view it makes sense, but it can be frustrating if you prioritise a certain stat for your race strategy. Eg you take Grosjean for his overtaking stat, meanwhile your rival uses Perez with much lower overtaking yet can slice & dice through the pack while you get stuck.
One feature that I think needs fixed quickly though his matchmaking with legacy teams. It’s ridiculous that you can have an instant loss just by seeing ‘2019 Team’. This seems to be a major issue & halts a lot of progression just by getting an unlucky match up. At the moment the comparison between the 2 years isn’t viable & should at least be a feature that players can choose to disable.

The gameplay is simple, addictive and enjoyable. At its best it feels like an F1 game that replicates high speed chess likeness of the sport, but at its worst it sometimes feels like your drivers are not responsive enough to you. I’ve encountered a few freeze frames and lagging in races but it hasn’t ever affected the gameplay so for me it’s a minor issue.

The real test of patience however comes in its luck-based rewards system; it gives you reasonable chances to get good stuff but at the same time does not give you rewards in any other way than opening loot boxes. As a result, your time in the game can feel flat and pointless because most of the time you are getting repeats for parts or drivers that you do not use. When you do get the parts and drivers you use though that is the incentive to keep going and see what you get, even if they put a minor contribution towards levelling up. This is especially annoying if you have epic drivers early on (like I was lucky enough to get), as your progression with them especially relies on luck rather than skill.

I think the game would be a lot better if the game rewarded you more for your time, as the loot system feels more vague and contrived to even the chances rather than being tuned to reward experience. If they switched their reward model to an EXP based system, so you could actually work towards things with every race you do, then I wouldn’t have as big of a problem with it.

First of all the game is great. I have played for 2 seasons. Very interactive customisation is great with the livery’s and car components and drivers. With the club feature being added it has made it more interesting with meeting people from all over the globe to play and compete with. This is where the greatness ends and the flaws begin. It’s very heavily paid to win. The top players with max out stats are allowed to heavily exploit match making with maxed out everything with 1 driver being so bad it matches then with someone who is midfield and they can wipe the floor with anyone with this exploitation. With these paid to win players and hutch allowing them to exploit the match making this heavily new players don’t really have much chance to learn the game and enjoy it with out getting drove through every race. Also game is manipulated so that you go on losing streaks when you win to much. When your stuck with a loosing streak it’s very difficult to break it unless the game decides to break it for you. When you finally get back to normal game play it’s only a matter of time before the game stick you back into a loosing streak or it will match you with someone way above your skill level or car/driver level. With all that said only you can draw you own conclusions by giving it a try. It’s a great game but the exploits of people dual devices and best/worst driver set up kill it in 2023. Hutch address these few things it will be the best game on mobile.

Thanks for your feedback! We're flattered to know you have been with us for so long now, and it is very important to us to know your thoughts on the game. Please note that in-app purchases are optional and you can progress in the game and have fun without it. While stats are indeed important, your strategy and how well you manage the race play a big part as well. The matchmaking will try to match you against a rival with a Team Score as close much as to yours but it can happen that your rival has more or less Team Score than you. However, we're aware of reports about some players who use exploits and therefore we have now introduced a new process to handle cheaters in the game. We appreciate you for taking your time to provide insights on the game and stay tuned for more to come :) Thank you - Hutch
