F1 Clash - Car Racing Manager 4+

I throughly enjoy playing/grinding this game and while last year was fun and competitive, this year has become a bit more unbalanced, especially in the pit stops. It’s incredibly difficult to win when your pit stop time is 1-3s slower than your rival despite them having significantly worse stats in every other category (around a 10 or so difference in each). I’d rather see randomly generated pit stop times in a specific range as you move up series (ie 7-8s in series 1, 1.8-2.5 in series 7, etc) so the focus is more on drivers and your car’s stats. I do like the better balance among drivers this year so it’s not the same two drivers you end up running with by the time you are in series 12, but this pit stop time needs to be either weighted different on the car’s performance or given a strict time range so the focus is more on the actual driving and performance of your car/driver. I’d also like to see reliability come into play more where if your car “breaks down” its performance is hampered until you pit to force strategy changes instead of just pushing through as you can watch rival cars “breakdown” after they no longer need to pit.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. There has been a lot of improvements made and new features added to F1 Clash since our last season. We are sorry to read you didn't have a great experience at the time but we hope these changes made a positive impact :) If you ever need help from us or want to send us more suggestions, you can always contact us directly via Settings > Help & Support or support@hutchgames.com

First off, if nothing else, you absolutely MUST create a name system. I don't want to give away my full name and facebook profile picture to every single person I play, and this needs to be changed. This has got to be a privacy issue. There needs to be an emblem/picture system as well as a naming system in place so people can override their name and photo being used. Secondly, this game NEEDS statistics. You should be able to see a comprehensive view of race history as well as a full stat history somewhere in the main menu, it would not only be really helpful but cool and interesting to look at as well. Additionally, there really should be car presets available so I can save different specs on my car and try them out without having to remember each setup and manually switch each part every time. Lastly, I really think there needs to be another mode other than the clash and weekly events. Maybe it could be a full season, maybe it could be a full 10 person race, maybe it could be a tournament system, but the game still just feels bare right now. As an added bonus, I think there should be more player-player interaction - maybe some sort of clan system, friends, chats, all of the sort. Ultimately, this is a really fun game but it is missing key aspects of a great game that I continue to return to for a long while.

This game is actually very fun and enjoyable (at times) to play. It’s like a mix between clash royale and formula one. This is a game I could see myself pouring hours of my time into, except I won’t because of one thing: the matchmaking. Good god, the matchmaking is horrible. I’ve lost about 80 to 90 percent of the races I enter because the other person qualifies super far up the grid and I get stuck down around 20th, and from there I really can’t do anything. It also doesn’t help that the driving mechanics themselves are completely rng dependent. Basically, it’s completely random whether you win or lose a race, and the majority of the time you will lose because the matchmaker puts you up against someone with a much better car and drivers every single time. This is a problem because it costs money to enter races, and you don’t get any money back unless you win. Therefore I find myself playing for a few minutes until I run out of coins after losing four races in a row, then waiting four hours for a free crate just so I can get enough money to enter another couple of races, then I repeat that loop over and over again. It’s a shame, really, because this game has great potential. I really wish I could play it more, but I just can’t because the matchmaking is so terribly designed. If the developers were to fix the matchmaking, me and a lot more people would play the game a whole lot more.

Hi. Thank you for your constructive feedback. I understand your frustration with regards to the matchmakingwe look into the combined power level of the players’ equipped drivers and assets, not just by flag coun system. Our development team is always aware of the concerns about the functionality of the matchmaking mechanic and are trying to find ways to rebalance it, so that players such as yourself can enjoy more of F1 Manager. Throughout each update we push, we do everything we can to improve on the matchmaking in any way possible.

One thing to note when it comes to the matchmaking system, the way we match players with others is based on the combined power level of the players’ equipped drivers and assets, as well as the overall flag count earned throughout your time in F1 Manager. Unfortunately, you still may be pitted against players that are spenders, which can make things more difficult for non spenders. However. we have got a fair few non spenders that have ranked rather high on the leaderboard during their time on F1 Manager. I hope this helps. - Hutch
