Sneak Peek – Update 3.3.0

TL;DR:
The next update (v3.3.0) is coming in early November and will introduce Turning Points, interactive in-game events where your choices have real consequences. It will also include a complete redesign of the Attributes panel, various UI polish improvements, and updated Patreon tier structure. The redesigned Teams window and new editor themes will likely arrive in a smaller patch shortly after.

Hey everyone,

Until now I’ve mostly shared sneak peeks on Discord, but since not all patrons are there, I wanted to make a proper post here to show what’s coming next.

Turning Points

Turning Points are interactive events that appear as special news items during your save. You’ll be able to decide how to react:

• Click the check to approve it and trigger the described outcome.

• Click the cross to reject it.

• Click the question mark to leave it to chance — the result will be random.

These events bring more unpredictability and realism to the game, adding moments that don’t normally happen in F1 Manager.
For example:

• A mid-season driver transfer between teams.

• A double disqualification for a team after post-race inspection due to a technical infringement.

Here you can see examples of 2 news related to turning points:

The first batch of Turning Points is now complete, and I’ll be testing them throughout this week. If everything goes well, version 3.3.0 should be ready for release in early November.

Planned for Early November

• Update 3.3.0 featuring Turning Points

• Supporter tier ($5) → renamed to Insider ($6)

• Separate Patreon keys for Backer and Insider tiers

• Redesigned Attributes panel

• UI polish and improved visual hierarchy

About the redesigns

I’ve been meaning to refresh the editor’s visuals for a while. The redesigned Attributes panel will be part of version 3.3.0, while the Teams window (facilities, budget, etc.) and new visual themes will likely come in a small follow-up patch soon after.

You’ll find below a preview of a PROTOTYPE I have done in preparation of the redesign of the attributes tab.

Looking ahead – v3.4 and beyond

The plan for update 3.4 includes:

• Adding a Championship Rules tab.

• Expanding team renaming options.

• Implementing automatic news translation (likely AI-powered).

• Allowing saving news from past seasons.

All of these ideas actually came from Patreon members on Discord, so if you have suggestions or features you’d love to see in the future, feel free to join the server and share your thoughts.

After the early November update, I’ll likely take a short 1–2 week break, unless any urgent bugs appear — which I’ll obviously fix right away.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
