One of the first things you’ll want to do is to start buying drivers and car parts, here is how it’s done.

Go to Contracts on the Navigation Menu and then choose the item you want to buy.

Let’s say you want a new driver, select Get New Driver.

This will take you to a page with a list of all drivers currently for sale.

Use the dropdown menu to select which driver you want to look at.

Once you have found the driver you want, select the amount of credits you want to bid and then click on Offer Contract.

For some drivers with no bids there’s an option to GET NOW. For others you will have to wait 2 or 3 days for all bids to be made before you discover if you have got the driver.

The process is the same for all team members and car parts.

Improve the value and stats of your team by making improvements. Simply select what areas you want to improve and the work happens automatically overnight.

The more improvement slots dedicated to one improvement, the faster the stat will rise. For example if all four slots are being used for Engine, this will improve twice as quickly as when two slots are dedicated to this improvement.

The effect of improvements will not be immediate so do not expect stats to rise daily. You can see how many development points are needed for the next stat increase by hovering your cursor over the stat in question.

Buying a CTO can help speed up improvements. When buying a CTO, look at the “improvements time” stat to see how much.

Improvements do not only work on your car, some also work for the people in your team. For example, choosing ‘engine’ will improve both your car engine stats and your AND driver’s speed stats.
Another example is: Choosing ‘pitstops’ will improve your driver’s communication stat as well as the pitcrew’s communication stat.

Today we discuss the page on which you can join competitions.

The DURATION of your session is the maximum time a practice and qualifying session lasts.

Choose from Turbo, Regular (24 hours), Long (48 Hours) and Longer (72 Hours).

Level Points help improve your ranking and allow you to progress up the levels of the game.

Select the TYPE of race you are looking for. This area only has Test sessions at present but it will expand to include full races and leagues later on in the beta test.

Pay Attention to the COUNTDOWN column, as this is the time left until the competition starts. Refresh the page and it will update.

Click the JOIN button to find out more info or join a competition.

Some competitions will not start until a certain number of drivers enter.

Hello and welcome to another update.

While all F1 teams are on their break, we’re still around beavering away in the garage.
There are mainly some bugfixes in this update, but there may be a few slight hiccups with laptimes this round


- Fixed a bug that allowed alliance and personal liveries to be sold on.

- Made some adjustments to the Manager Ranking algorithm so that your Equipment Level is taken into account when determining how well you performed. Also made an adjustment so that no-active managers are penalized for not racing.

These changes should help to remove the managers who are unjustly higher up the tables.



Race Development Adjustments

- Fixed issues with punctures selecting new tyres earmarked for a strategic pitstop later in the race.
- Adjusted the ability to race at over 100% pace if you want or just at beginning of race.
- Adjusted the wrong compound code slightly, so it’s a bit more clear if you are using the wrong compound.
- Adjusted the Yellow slider code so that it is more driver independent in most races, to stop some exploits.
- Adjusted the overtaking code AI to allow KERS-type function if needed.
- Lower mistake/crash percentages from overtaking errors.
- Storing more data about the setup of the car to help analyse race in more depth


Usually, the code adjustments are seamless and only manifest themselves in the next round of the competition, however there are some cases where this hasn’t gone as planned and you may see a increase in pace during the current round if you have.


If you have made runs and this has affected you, please contact us via feedback stating the competition and driver id and you will get your fast runs given back.

All affected competitions will have 24hrs added to their time for the current round

Today we discuss your Team page.

Halfway down this page you will find your objectives to reach the next level in the game. These may range from voting for PSB a certain amount of times, to negotiating a new contract, to improving a car part’s stats by a certain percentage.

When all objectives are complete you go up a level and new objectives will appear on this page.

My Latest Races shows you all of the competitions that you have recently been involved in and those that are still active. If the competition is active you will also see the countdown to when the next round starts/current round ends. There are also links to view the competitions.

By clicking on the flag next to your ‘country’ you will be taken to a league table of managers from the same country.

You need a CTO in order to manufacture very high level upgrades.

The level to which you can upgrade a part depends on your CTO. Look at his Basic Stats to see up to what level he can upgrade each part.

Don’t forget to choose your upgrades related to the cup you will join. Because some cups have restrictions, and some cups have level limits at some upgrades.

By purchasing a contract for an upgraded part, you won’t automatically improve your stats. Once production time has finished you can then enable the upgrades in the races, using the Configuration tab on your racing page.

Upgrades use the ‘slots’ on your chassis, you also get extra slots when you get a CTO, how many depends on your CTO.

The cost of upgrades may go up with depending on the amount of drivers you have.

Saving your setups is a good way to get a head start the next time you race at that track.

When you have a setup you’d like to reuse, on the monitor page of the competition, scroll down to ‘setup management’.

Give the setup a name and save it.
When you want to reuse it go to the same page, select it and load it.

Bear in mind that it won’t give you the same setup as you had last time, there are many variables, but it’s a good starting point.

You can save 40 setups if you’re not a Supporter and 400 if you are.

Remember to use your first few laps to get suggestions, don’t worry about doing fast laps at first, you want to get your % setup as high as possible first. Use approx 16 laps to get the most hints possible in this part of the session.

In order to do this put your pace down to 0 or just above. Also make sure you set it to do the maximum set of laps per run. This way you’ll get more suggestions when each run is finished.

Then, when you do want to do the fast laps (say, the last two runs) put up your driver pace to around 100 (above this is possible, but it’s more risky in terms of driver errors). Also reduce your laps. The fewer laps, the less fuel you carry and the faster you go, but you’ll need to heat up the tyres as well so you have to find a balance.

Look at your tyre page and use the Compount Temperture Charts at the bottom of the page to see how long they take to heat up to 100%.

Using this info, go on your fastest lap, making sure you’re using the best compound (hard, medium etc.) for the conditions.

There are several ways to get credits for free, although they can also be bought if you choose (see the Buy Credits page for details). Here’s a quick rundown of how you can get free credits with a minimum of fuss.

- Voting. You can see links to vote either at the top of each page or on the page Credits > Vote for Credits. Votes give varying amounts of credits and by getting us near the top of the vote lists we attract more new managers to the game. Please take the time to vote for PSB once you’ve clicked on the links.

- Referrals. By getting people to join via your referral link, whether it be something you’ve sent by email, a forum post/signature or even via a banner on your website, you bring new blood to the game and, once they reach level two, earn yourself 10,000 credits into the bargain. You can see your individual referral link at Credits > Referrals.

- Competitions. Some competitions have credit prizes. Read their Information tab under Championship Credits Prize Allocation to check. You also normally get a 2000 credits bonus for completing 90% of the rounds, regardless of where you finish.

- Selling Items. If you have an item that can be sold make sure that you sell it before you buy a replacement. When you get a new engine for example the old one will disappear and you won’t get any credits for it. So sell before you buy!

You can also earn credits by becoming a Factory or an Academy, but these are for the more advanced users. When you’ve reached a certain level of expertise in the game make sure you explore these options.
