During Early Access, we’ve introduced several driver-focused features to emphasize the importance of managing your driver lineup effectively in a motorsport team.
Overtaking mechanics have been improved to reflect the real-world complexity of passing on track. The Driver Overtaking stat now plays a key role—reducing the time needed to overtake and helping you avoid being held up by slower cars. Strategic use of limited Push-to-Pass boosts is also crucial, especially when battling through the midfield.
Endurance racing is less about individual talent and more about assembling the right driver lineup. As drivers complete lap after lap, their Stamina stat gradually decreases, directly affecting their Speed. This dynamic makes Driver Swaps a vital part of long-format races, rewarding well-balanced teams with better overall performance. When selecting your driver crew, it’s also important to factor in their Speed in Dry and Wet conditions, ensuring your team can adapt to changing weather across the race.
Choosing the right driver lineup is a core aspect of team management. In Early Access, we’ve added the ability to recruit and replace drivers mid-season based on your team’s results. As your team earns championship points, more drivers become available for signing. However, keep in mind that switching drivers mid-season comes with a termination fee for breaking an active contract, on top of potentially higher salaries for top-tier talent.
