Game Overview
Swipe Manager: Formula Racing is a motorsport career management game with swipe-choice mechanics. Players take the role of a team principal, making decisions through card-based choices that affect five core stats. Build a dynasty across three divisions, manage drivers and staff, handle politics and rivalries, and chase the championship, one swipe at a time.
The game launches with two complete racing modes, Formula GP (the established championship) and Formula Femme (women's open-wheel racing), with four additional modes arriving as free post-launch updates.
