In late 2021, myself and some others wrote what, at the time, was the complete beginners guide to iGP. The forum mods pinned it, some new players read it and learned some things, and they avoided the common pitfalls of the rookie tier.

However, a recent update brought some major changes: a new UI and all the ensuing bugs, for sure, but a more significant change for the new player was the abolishment of the 'Rookie' tier of leagues and implementation of Sprint races, a new universal tutorial area where they would race exclusively until they reach level 10.

With that in mind, I've decided to rewrite this guide as a port of first call for newbies who haven't a clue what to do- just to give you a nudge in the right direction. This guide has been replaced, so I've removed the content - I suspect much of it would be misleading to a new player anyways. I hope you enjoy iGP manager!

Looks simple, but truly invaluable for new and old players alike.
Great stuff ?.

Now don’t be doing an advanced guide giving away all the tricks ??.

Don't worry, kept it basic enough they still have to learn (hopefully ?)

Now where is my shout-out for putting 3 messages in the chat??
Though I did mention the tyre wear which nobody else had at that point!

Can you take down the 2019 and 2020 editions of the iGP Guide as they are very outdated now?

Also delete my guide, it has been outdated as well... PS) Great guide guys! It certainly has remembered me several things that I forgot! ??Great work!!??

And guys if you wonder why are so many managers so fast, they don’t use cheats, they use spreadsheets ?

What exactly do the mental driver stats do? I understand experience and focus but what about the rest? Does feedback do anything at all? And does morale really impact the drivers pace?

On the whole they just impact the driver's consistency (and to a small degree pace)

It's hard to impossible to see exactly what each of them do as you cannot choose which stat (fast corners, focus etc) you train, only the category

I see. So its basically the fine tuning of the driver. Do you know what knowledge itself does? Because in your guide it says that it doesnt impact setups and that seems to be true. Surely it has to do something.

Also thank you for the quick answer! :)

Like I said, it's hard to see exactly what each stat does, but we can assume it is similar to the other stats and since you can't choose exactly what to train anyways there is no need to prioritize certain stats over others, only categories.

Hi, can you tell me, where i can find this spreadsheets?

He means stuff like the tire diagram in the guide and managers keeping track of their set ups, strategies and timings in notes / spreadsheets. What you can do easily is write down the set ups for each track (remember that they vary between drivers because of height and stats) and write them down in the notes section of the game (click on your manager icon in the upper right hand corner and then on notes).

Exactly.

For example, if one season I have a very handling-heavy car and I qualify well and the next I have an acceleration heavy car and qualify poorly I may want to note that handling is important at that track.
Over time these bits of knowledge, strategy ideas, setups, push levels etc will become far too much too just remember off the top of your head so having a little (or in some cases, not so little ?) store for them can be handy. I'm not saying you should document every race you race but if you are surprised by something it can be good to note it. The setup table above for instance, is from my spreadsheet so I never have to waste tokens buying ideal setup.

Lots of it is common sense: if a track has lots of slow speed corners handling will be more important. Long straights? Acceleration, and possibly braking (although braking is, as a rule, less important than Acc and Han)
(This is a subtle way of avoiding the question ?)

Hello,
I would like to know how the Design points works.
Does every point used do something, or do they work in stages?
For example, in Elite, if i use 20 points in braking, does all 20 points will make my car better or do i have to reach a certain number (like 50/200 for example) ?

Jeremy Lst

Design points work so every point applied improves that stat by one (mind blowing I know :P) some stats (like acceleration) are more important than others (reliability and cooling) so it's all about getting as many DP as possible in the places where they do the most good.

Hey, as 5 circuits are rescaled in the latest update, can you update the Wings/Ride data in these circuits? For example, China is not 15/10, it is 18/8 now.

James Richardson

Enough enough! This will get you top 5 in most leagues. Please don’t spill all the beans ??
