About
Welcome to Team Principal: A Racing Manager. Initially a passion project, this game has become much more for me. It is a completely customizable grand prix/motorsport manager game, with a simplistic top down 2d race view. Most of the game is in the in-depth management aspect. Some key features include:
- An ever-changing grid: Teams & engines can leave, go bankrupt, join, rebrand, get bought out, fluctuate season to season. No two seasons will ever be the same, with a virtually limitless grid size.
- Simulate ANY era in this sandbox with infinite possibilities and infinite replayability. This game can handle ANY era, or season of racing in a realistic manner, with over decades of seasons of content.
- In-depth race simulation complete with REAL physics, live speeds, hyper-intelligent AI, setups that impact your actual car speeds in corners/straights, customizable temperature, weather, dirty air, tire wear, fuel consumption, safety cars, mechanical wear, and realistic results, with both simulated and non-simulated options available.
- Easy to use in-game editor, and save editor, so you can have your career mode the way you want.
- In-Depth finance system with stock, ownership, and ability to purchase stakes in rivals.
- Completely in-depth academy pipe-line system with ability to pay to assign your rookie drivers in junior series teams, have them test for you, learn the ropes in rival junior teams you own, and eventually promote them to your team.
- In-depth regulatory system that can change the environment of the game season to season.
- In-depth negotiation system for tyres, parts, sponsorship, works engines, customer engines, and drivers/staff.
- Ability to build and sell your own engines through an engine plant, or partner with an existing engine supplier.
- AI who compete with you every week of the season, on and off the track, in engineering, developing, strategy, and signing talents.
- Fully fleshed out car attributes, driver attributes, staff attributes, headquarters, etc.
- In-depth chassis, aero, engine, ERS, driver aids, and tyre development.
This game aims to be a FULLY customizable racing management sandbox experience for racing in any era. Every aspect of the game able to be edited and changed. Team names, performance, dirty air, tire model, points model, anything one can think of can be edited to your liking.

el manager definitivo de motordeporte, gran potencial de modeo y personalizacion
This is fantastic, such a detailed management sim, if you needed football manager but for formula 1 (or oval) this is the game. join the discord for real season mods and enjoy
Function over form, the best way I can describe this game. It has the best depth of any motorsport manager game, and because of that, it really makes you feel like someone running a team in motorsport. The way you manage team assets, drivers and the race weekend, it all feels very authentic. I think there are some quirks to the game which will probably need ironing out (some have been addressed already during my short time playing), but for an early access game made by 1 developer, it is amazing. At first, the game is very overwhelming, but once you understand the systems, it's actually quite simple to understand. I'm so glad I came across this game. It is my favourite in the motorsport manager genre. Some of the UI elements need looking at, but I do believe the dev is aware of these and is making improvements with recent patches. But even in the current state, with so many season mods available, I would highly recommend this game to anyone interested in motorsport at a deeper level.

The game is amazing and has so much potential with mods and databases I don't remember the last time I lost track of time like this in a game
need to add scouts and more financial aspects, then it will become the best version of itself
Just had Eddie Irvine going from Ferrari to Forti for 1997 in the 1996 Mod xd so can recommend it :)
Good game, similar to FB Manager
great for customization. It's what video games need, wish more were like this
I've been playing this game since August 2025, when it was only available on itch.io. The game has evolved a lot since then and has improved drastically. The developer, Cookie (his name on the official Discord server), is always looking for ideas and works very closely with the community. He implements their ideas and suggestions and is always open to feedback on how to improve the game. With the mods available, you can play through every decade of the sport and even create custom championships. Manage a team or simply observe how teams rise and fall through the championship standings. This game is a huge sandbox for modders, and you can create awesome stories with it. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys F1 or motorsport management games from the ’90s and 2000s. The best part is that there’s still a lot more in the pipeline! If you're interested in learning more about the game, I recommend joining the Discord server.
I almost passed over this due to it's more simplistic visual style and I'm really glad that I didn't. I've played almost every motorsport management game I've found and this is really a great one. The depth of the management systems, the unique seasonal stories that unfold, the development process, all of it makes for a really great experience that it's easy to lose whole nights into.
