I saw that this game is coming out on Steam next week. I've been looking forward to a stock car sim game for years now and it looks like there might finally be one. Don't know much else about it yet except for this link. If it's customizable I might have to bring back the old interactive racing series I ran in a new format.

The developer here. Yes, the game is out, and has gotten good reviews so far. Features will be added at a decent clip, and my ultimate goal is OOTP for racing sims.

If anyone has any questions about it, feel free to ask.

Stock Car version of Motorsport Manager? I think that would be fun.

Yes, it will be a career mode sim. And you can just sim right now, but watching races will be coming soon as well.

Awesome. I just bought the Early Access version to mess around with it a bit.

I will definitely have to bring back the old interactive dynasty series once all of the features in this are set.

I played the one season that is available last night.
Took 18 year old Bob Cooper to a 2nd place finish in the standings.

What is the purpose of the research and development?
I used that and the car I developed was much worse than the car i had bought.

Im not sure how good my crew chief was at developing a car.

Another thing, i put 30 points, 30 points, 25 points and 15 points in the 4 slots. That was top to bottome of the 4 categories. But the bottom 2 came out much better than the top 2. Is that a result of my crew chief?

Will you make it more difficult to repair the car? Or add more negative events? That was just kind of a click and go aspect. I fixed up my car for the tons of money I had. It was just a minor thing and a couple button clicks. Will it be something different?

How do I get more than one race car in a race? Or is this going to be added in later? I hired another driver to drive my R&D car, but it wouldnt let me use both my drivers and cars. Or maybe I missed something. But I was hoping to use both at the same race.

I really like this already. Im hoping their will be more customization available. Like drivers and cars. And painting the car how I want.

Fun game.

tarcone:
R&D can vary greatly in results, but can sometimes produce much better than you can get in the normal garage, with special abilities as well. Your Crew Chief can influence this result at times too.

There will be random negative events as well to make things a little tougher. Some already exist, which would be displayed in the news section.

There is a fair amount of customization already, if you look at the forums. Some people have added different car paintings, and adjusted the drivers using the save game files. The various cities and race names and sponsors can be adjusted simply using the text files. You can change the race logos, and add pictures of drivers too. More customization is coming soon as well.

Thanks for trying it out!

Several patches released, including the addition of multiple seasons possible now. Lots of tweaks and fixes too.

New feature released - players can easily create their own leagues with whatever drivers they wish. From tracks to sponsors and more! It's now built into the game.

What's the in-race experience gonna be like? Am I just watching or do I have some control?

There will be points where you'll be offered decisions and such to make. And you'll set the "attitude" your driver will have: try to win it all, be aggressive, be conservative, etc. prior to the race.

Setups in race? Pit stop strategy? In car radio?

Bear in mind you're an owner, not a crew chief or driver. Your decisions will mainly be of the macro-management variety.

You can set an overall attitude, you may make a few key decisions during a race, and you can watch your decisions unfold lap by lap in real time. The little stuff is handled by your drivers and crew chief, which is where their more subtle ratings come in.
