Lyon, France, July 16th 2024 - Strap yourself in; the chance to lead a championship-winning team in the world of GT racing arrives in September with the first endurance racing management game: GT Manager! Developed by The Tiny Digital Factory, an Indie studio specialising in racing and management games, GT Manager puts you in the hot seat as a team manager at the race track and at the factory. Featuring 5 racing categories from GT4 to Hypercars, 25 iconic racing cars from 16 world-renowned manufacturers, 40 official drivers, and 35 official Endurance teams, GT Manager is gearing up to take you on a whistle-stop tour of the world of motorsports!
Transform your fledgling GT4 squad into a dominant force in the world-renowned Hypercar championship. In GT Manager, you’ll build your dream driver lineup, assemble an elite team of mechanics to ensure smooth operations in the pit lane and secure lucrative sponsorships to fuel your rise to the top and maximise your car’s performance.
As head honcho, every decision is crucial! Will you recruit a hotshot driver or prioritise car upgrades? Will you squeeze out raw speed or focus on generating greater traction through the corners? Push the boundaries with aggressive fuel strategies, knowing extra pit stops could cost you the win; it's your team, so the buck stops with you!
Your journey begins in the competitive, talent-rich world of GT4. As you climb the ladder of racing categories, new challenges and strategic decisions will test your leadership at every turn. GT Manager's extensive progression system ensures a steady stream of fresh content and strategic dilemmas, keeping rookie and veteran racing managers alike on the edge of their seats.
"As you progress, the game evolves, revealing layers of complexity and strategic depth across its five distinct categories. It's a journey that starts with accessible fun and grows into a rich, multifaceted challenge that will test players’ management skills to the fullest.", said Stéphane Baudet, Creative Director at The Tiny Digital Factory.
Back in February, The Tiny Digital Factory revved up excitement for GT Manager at Steam Next Fest, aiming to gather valuable feedback from the community. Fueled by the insights of these enthusiastic players, the team, a bunch of self-proclaimed petrolheads, has been diligently refining the game's mechanics, focusing on both the team factory management and the racing experience.
