I would like to get some feed back from a others who have played this game. I find the game extremely fun, but it is also extremely hard. I like to pick mid high to mid level teams. I am able to get the into the top six (4th) but always go bankrupt before coming close to winning the championship. Are their any key hints that could help me? I have the shareware version of this game, has anyone played the regular one from Wizards? If so do you recommend I shell out the $25 and order the registered version. I hear Microprose is coming out its own F1 team management game/ Hs anyone have any info on it? I would like to see a more graphical setup for a Manager game. On the Wizard game all the info can be overwhelming, a like graphics would be nice (i.e. tracks, pitstops, race action, building of cars, podeum finishes). Mouse control would be a lot more efficient too.

I have been playing Grand Prix Manager now for about a year now. I started just like you constantly going bankrupt. What you must do is donot go to win the championship in the first year. Build up to the championship. A further point also is that buy the best equipment but remember if you can get a good chassis for 76 (subaru 4) why pay to have anything less than good, and you must seriously think why you want to have a chassis which costs any higher. Also with regards to building your own parts. Concentrate on the important parts like the engine and transmission, since it is quite pointless building your own chassis, body and electric's since you can already get 2 point from the end by buying cheaper stuff. A final point would be to act like a proper manager, donot spend 500+ for senna or any other driver go for the cheapest best driver you can get. Because that 500+ is per race, so over 16 races you are forking out 8000. If you play the game right you can often pick up a genius driver for about 100-200 simply by hiring a very fast driver pre season. Donot develop a new car. Enter the very fast driver into the first race. All been well you should be able to finish within the top six or seven which will normally put you in the top 4 teams. At this point you hire a genius driver for this and next season, sack all your non good staff, and hire some good people for any vacant positions (hire A.Meyer as your mechanic he does pitstops of about 4.2 seconds) , aslo hire 60 mechanics. and then build your new car. Get it tested quickly, go all the way on test sessions and introduce the car somewhere arround jerez. After all this you will find that you will have a great driver for next season a good car in which to start the season, Hopefully you should have finished in the top 8 teams, this will give you the ability to build a ***y good new car. And if all goes to plan that should be your first winning season. Remember you may wish to high a second genius driver, but remember the true costs of employing that driver. I also normally hire 3 genius drivers, this goes on the assumption that what I have got my rivals cannot use. People may think all the above is bollocks but using the above tactics i can start as wizard and win the championship within 4 seasons, sometimes 3. After this i can normally win the double about 4 times in a row, at which point i start to get bored and start from the begining by hiring shite drivers and building a shite car the following year. This is like starting as wizard but having the finances of both Mclaren and williams put together, since you get about 1-2 million a race in both prizes and bonus's, plus about 13 million to start off each year. -:'.Viva la Compact Disc.':- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -:'Be Right to be right.':- coventry+ YOU MAY DISAGREE.
