Sweet racing game

EDIT: like 5-7 years later got this game again. Played nonstop beat it in 7 hours - maxed stats, 999 research points, beat Kairoland track, have 2 kairo kars. Game was too addictive so deleted it lol. But super fun and very well made. I love how much detail Kairo put into this. I mean they have successfully reached the hardcore race-fan crowd with this. Even in the animations during racing, the more you train your drivers the cleaner the apexes they take and the more they go WOT. Also the names are a hoot and cleverly done, like "Ireton Cena", "S. Bettel", "Lou Hampton", and the game just seems to pick fun at itself and not take itself to seriously as you play. Fun game, if you like and respect racing, you'll enjoy it. If you like simulation/management games, you'll enjoy it too.

It's Fun

I have played beastie bay and Game dev story, and I liked the way you play. It may get hard at a point (formula Asia) but it's still good. If you are in thought of how to play, you use money to upgrade the cars and research new ones, while hiring and training a crew. You aren't the driver, all you do is watch, but it's fun to cheer

Still love it

One of the few games that I've had on my phone since it came out. But can we please have a new one.

Stat won’t go up

Well I play this game since they released it and still play it till today. But there is a bug that never happened before. When I moved up to Formula Asia, I have 2 teams now. Normally when cars were fixed, the driver and crews’ status will go up randomly. But my 1st team stat got nothing, all I get is tech +0, pedal +0 and all +0. Do you know why this happened?

Great App

Well worth the purchase, one of the better Kairosoft games

Help !!!

Im at year 6 with tons of money and progress during the Grand Prix last race I sold my car & made a new one but i didn’t finish in time, I won & was prompted to the ceremony and a notification box pops on my screen with the following “an error occurred” and I can’t continue PLEASE HELP

Fun but it gets old

Fun but it gets old. There is almost no replay ability for this game

Kairospot creates another hit!

I haven't enjoyed a Kairosoft game this much since Game Dev Story, but that's because I am not a big fan of the space management and planning layouts. This game has gone back to the roots of purely hiring, upgrading, and researching for your racing team. I know some people may find it tedious to watch your racer participate in the races, but I find it exciting to see the races unless I'm losing for sure. Perhaps putting in an option to skip races would appease some of the unsatisfied customers. The only problem is to beware if you're playing on a 2nd generation iPod Touch. The training menu and the picture of your team is flickering which is quite annoying which give me headaches after prolonged periods of playing. I have heard of the case from a few people with 2nd gen iPod Touches and I hope Kairosoft fixes the problem because it is inhibiting the enjoyment of the game.

The company behind Game Dev Story has an entire library of addictive sims you need to play.
