Spin · Draft · Race
Spin a real team and season, then take one piece of it: the engine, the chassis, a driver or the team principal. Five rounds build your car. Then race a 24-round season against nine historic teams. Win all 24 and you're perfect.
Chassis carries the most weight on twisty tracks, the engine on power tracks like Monza and Spa. Engine reliability sets your retirement rate.
Drivers count for about 15% of race pace, nearer a quarter on street circuits. The team principal adds pace, cuts retirements and develops the car through the season.
Engine and chassis from the same team-season gain a works bonus. Two star drivers clash unless the boss is strong enough to keep the peace.
