Description:

Raceplan is a simulation of Formula One Motor Racing. You control your own
F1 team as if you were a team boss, making decisions over designing and
developing your cars, signing drivers, recruiting sponsors and instructing
your drivers on tactics for testing, practice and race days.

In Raceplan we try to make the game work the same way as in real life,
with realistic decisions and strategies. The choices you make are the same
as you�d have to make in real life. Sometimes you�ll have to make tough
decisions, whether to hire better drivers, or develop your cars, or invest
in sponsors to improve your future income.

Just as in real life, the best combination of car and drivers in Raceplan
will not always win. You�ll need to find a balance between going as
quickly as possible (or as quickly as necessary) without breaking the car
or crashing, and your judgement of the tactics and performances of your
drivers and your competitors will be critical when you decide what risks
you need to take during the race to win.
