Welcome to season one of the Race Department IndyCar Forum manager game.
Season One is a step into the unknown. With a vast range of upgrades, upgrading wisely will be extremely important. Do you upgrade your pit crew, your driver or your car. Do you want to be a road course expert, a speedway expert or a superspeedway expert (where double, even triple points are on offer)
