We have just published the new version of TopRacers F1 Manager with the improvements we mentioned a few days ago an a good surprise… we have made some adjustments to the driver’s Artificial Intelligence. They are now much better using the gearbox, so they will take advantage of all existing gears.
Some managers may find that their known gearbox setups must be slightly fixed to take full control of the car.
We almost have the next version of TopRacers F1 Manager ready. It will be brought up to date this week. This new version finally incorporates the new 2D Viewer, but we have also made some improvements in access to screens from the competition menu and in some other screens.
Competition Menu in TopRacers F1 Manager
Starting now, we will have 4 new options on the menu:
The new options “Train,” “Qualify,” and “Race” take us to the corresponding event setup screen. This screen has undergone some changes to facilitate the most common TopRacers F1 Manager tasks.
Setup Screen to See Broadcast Delay from TopRacers F1 Manager
The car selector now allows you to see the state of both cars at the same time, so it is easy to see if one is lacking in configuration. You can click on the cars and the right side of the screen will update.
Once a round is completed, in the “Results” and “Details” tabs you can see how the setting worked for the selected pilot. This allows you to compare settings and results without switching screens.
Finally, in the upper left-hand corner we have added a small command box that allows you to take action on the round. You can select the round that you want to see and launch it immediately or see it in delay (if you have an active 2D Viewer).
The league screen has been slightly modified to allow managers with the 2D Viewer active to see the rounds delayed.

This new update also incorporates the new 2D Viewer, currently for the active professional accounts. Managers with a professional account can exclusively try out the new visor and be the first to send us suggestions and comments on how to improve or correct this first version.
Starting now, we are working on the next update in which we will try to also improve some other screens to facilitate easy access to the most common screens.
We hope you enjoy this update.
This last sunday (November, 16th 2009) TopRacers F1 Manager gave us more good news, the game appeared in the newspaper, yes those made of paper.
In the motor section of “El Períodico” called Airbag appeared a little article about the new site of Circuit de Catalunya. In it our game, TopRacers F1 Manager, was mentioned as the online game of site. We attach the scanned article as a proof :D.

We would have loved to insert a link to the digital version of the article but this section has no digital version :(.
