Guide: Sprint Races — High-Speed Equal Battles

Racing Without Boundaries

Sprint races in Race Manager are a special dynamic format that runs parallel to the main league championship. They are the perfect place for those who want to earn extra cash and test their car setup skills under equal conditions.

Main Feature: Equal Opportunities

Unlike the league, where victory often depends on millions invested in engine or aero development, in Sprints all cars are identical.

• Your technological research does not apply here.
• Only two factors come to the forefront: your drivers skills and your strategy.

Participation Rules

Sprints happen frequently (every 30 minutes if participants are present), but have their own limitations:

1. Registration: No more than 10 teams can participate in a single race.
2. One Driver: Only one driver is registered from each team.
3. League Restriction: You cannot register for a Sprint if your main league race starts in less than 30 minutes or if the league race simulation is already in progress.

Preparation for the Start

The preparation process for a Sprint is time-compressed:

• Practice: You have 5 attempts (runs) available to find the perfect setup balance for the specific track.
• Strategy: You must pre-define your pit stop plan and tire types for the entire race distance.

Rewards and Consequences

Sprints are a great way to boost your teams budget, but they do not provide experience or research points.

Prize Pool:

• 1st Place: $500,000
• 2nd Place: $350,000
• 3rd Place: $250,000
• Places 4 to 10 also receive cash payouts ranging from $150,000 to $50,000.

Driver Impact: Participating in a Sprint exhausts the driver. Their Fitness (Endurance) will decrease by 5-8 points after the finish, unless they are currently undergoing a parallel training session at headquarters.

💡 Tip: Use Sprints as a testing ground for setups. If you find the "golden ratio" for a track in a Sprint, the same settings will work perfectly in your main league race on the same track!

Join the battle every half hour and prove you are the best strategist in the paddock!
