GT Manager News

The 4th update of GT Manager is coming in about a week.

This new update will offer major balancing improvements both at the team’s headquarter and during the race.
In Easy and Medium difficulty, the team now starts with a bigger budget and costs and earnings are better balanced, offering the opportunity to expand the HQ much faster in the first 2 seasons.

The experience points are also better distributed to offer more opportunities to train drivers and staff members. More Staff, Drivers and Equipments are also available in the early game. Finally, the Manufacturer’s cup are now available from season 1 and offer higher cash rewards.

During the race, the top view features more graphic details and many race elements have been rebalanced like the tire degradations, the mechanical failure sensitivity, the fuel consumption or the drivers’ fatigue. The race strategy now plays a much bigger role in the race result.
Stay tune for the complete list of improvements coming with the update #4.
