Guide: Headquarters and Pit Crew

The Heart of Your Empire

The headquarters in Race Manager is not just a screen with pretty buildings. It is the foundation of your technological and financial superiority. Base development requires time and massive investment, but each building level provides tangible bonuses.

Buildings and Their Purpose

All facilities are divided into two main groups:

Engineering Block

• Design Center: Increases the amount of research points gained and accelerates part development.
• Manufacturing: Reduces the cost of producing parts and shortens the time for their manufacture.
• Wind Tunnel: A key facility for aerodynamic testing. Provides a constant bonus to downforce.

Support Block

• Simulator: Allows drivers to train more effectively, reducing the cost and time of sessions.
• Marketing: Directly increases the number of Secondary Sponsor slots (1 slot per level) and the team's reputation.
• Scouting: Expands opportunities for finding new talent and increases the accuracy of assessing their skills.

Upgrades and Directors

The process of base modernization can be optimized by hiring experienced executives:

• Technical Director: Their skill is dual-purpose: it reduces both the cost and the time required to upgrade engineering buildings (by up to 50%).
• Sporting Director: Master of race operations. Directly influences the speed and reliability of your pit crew during the Grand Prix.

Critical Rules

• Team Level Limit: You cannot upgrade any building to a level higher than your current Team Level. Raise your team's prestige to unlock advanced infrastructure!
• One at a Time: You cannot build or upgrade two buildings simultaneously. Plan your schedule carefully.
• End of Season: Remember that the top 3 teams in the championship standings experience a "regression" — all their buildings lose 1 level to keep the next season competitive.
