Fixed a bug where Garage upgrade buttons could appear tappable but do nothing on careers that had already used their free trial upgrades in a previous version.

Manager Mode (preview): own a team, hire drivers, sign sponsors, and run practice weekends and full race weekends end-to-end. Switch between Pilot and Manager in onboarding. Includes FP1/FP2/FP3 sim with setup focuses (Balanced/Qualifying/Race), 8 manager achievements, sponsor pitch and payout flow.

A new look for your racing career. • Redesigned paddock, navigation and race preparation screens. • 3D car in the garage and 3D driver in your profile. • Six 3D circuit dioramas, with isolated 12-lap test races in 3D Lab. • Refined landscape layouts and race controls. • New app icon. Your saved career carries on where you left it.

v1.6.0 — VISUAL UPGRADE Every screen has been redrawn. Layered cards with subtle glow, podium colors for race positions (gold, silver, bronze), and a side rail that lights up as you move through the app. The driver profile, the garage, the calendar and the pre-race screen now feel like the pit wall. A career now starts where a real one does: fourteen years old, national karting, and a driver slower than the grid around him. RACE IN REAL TIME — the race runs lap by lap on a clock you control. Pause it, or push it to five times speed. Watch the whole field on the circuit map and talk to your driver while it matters: attack, hold, conserve the tyres, defend. WHEEL TO WHEEL — cars within a second now fight for position, and whether the move sticks depends on your overtaking, their defending and the circuit. TEAMS — eight two-car teams per category, each with its own machinery. You take a real seat, with a teammate to be measured against. CONTRACTS — no more automatic promotion. At the end of a season teams make offers, and you choose between a front-running car in the class you know and the back of the grid one rung higher. QUALIFYING YOU RUN — pick the tyre and when to go out. A late lap gets the rubbered-in track, and loses more than a second if the weather beats you to it. A CAREER THAT ENDS — seasons are recorded, and at forty you hang up the helmet and see everything you did. Also: sponsors, a weather forecast, and six languages.

Fixed: tapping a race on the calendar opened a black screen you could not get out of, and the race never started. The pre-race screen now opens normally. Thanks for reporting it.
