F1 Clash - Car Racing Manager 4+

Recently I saw a review about randomness in the game. More specifically with a matchmaking system (u can play with a rival who has 10-15% more team rank than u do, so it can be called an instant loss)
The thing is, game itself is fun and enjoyable, but rank system is not 😂
Playing duels u can get a opponent with much bigger team rank, and won’t be able to do anything with it. One way to win it, is to to hope that his strategy is gonna be changing tyres and pitting every single lap.
Why am I writing this? Cause I’m not the only one struggling with it. As I mentioned I saw a review dated more that a year ago, and a problem is still there.
To sum up:
Game is fun, and grind is enjoyable, but when it comes to duelling…
Either you up ranked the rival by 10-15%, or he’s, and little percentage of being more or less equal.
Of I could be honest, feels like game is more sort of “pay to win”, but it’s only my subjective opinion.

I’ve been playing this game for 3 seasons, saw plenty of updates and new functionalities, unfortunately, as the game is so random, I only play now the weekly events and not duels.
My main objectives:
• Team score matching with opponents (implemented to find opponent on a similar level) - having a team score at 1000 and being matched with a 1150pts rival cannot be considered as „similar level”, thats 15% difference.
• Random results of quali and race. It happened to me a couple of times that I’m matched with a rival about 50pts lower then myself, their positions in quali are 8-9, mine 13-14. After the race (I lost), check the brief and I can see that the rival had only the reliability higher then I (same drivers), yet he won without any problems.
• Idk if the lap times showed in the brief are relevant, but saw a couple of times that my rival has the best time on hards and my drivers were 2sec slower on softs (with pushing the whole lap), RIDICULOUS.
• What was the point in implementing 3 levels of each driver and then „forcing” people to use those who have 10-20% skill increase bc of the weekly event? Yeah, I know I don’t have to choose them but this increase of skill is not added to the team score so there is additional team score hidden from the rival, which makes this game even more non-transparent.

It’s not that I expect to be matched only with weaker rivals but it would be nice to have more opportunities to win with the strategy

Hello, thank you for your review :) A new Season started on May 9th and with it came a lot of changes. It might take some time to get used to those changes and adjust your strategy.

F1 Clash will require some time to gather all the resources and progress but it's not impossible and certainly enjoyable :) Check out our Discord for more help from our community!

Matchmaking in this game is a joke, you should either fix it or balance the game so you won’t feel the team gaps so much when u have better tactics. In that state the game is unplayable if u want to have some fun and play competitive because even if your opponent has the worst tactic ever he will win in 9 on 10 times just because he has a better team. You climb up like 3 wins and then lose 5 because suddenly your opponents become 50+ points stronger and it’s nearly impossible to overcome this gap in the race. You can’t even get better team yourself because u lose all the gold you have won so you are basically stuck in one point where the game wants you to just p2w and buy everything with your credit card witch I personally won’t do so I’m unable to play the game. Also the amount of gold you need to upgrade parts or drivers is just too much that’s why even if you drop something good you can’t upgrade and actually use it so again you are stuck in one point with your trash team

Thanks for your review! Who wins or loses is only determined once there's a result in the end, until then you can try reviewing your strategy and wisely manage the race in your favour. Remember that they both play a big part. Check out our Discord for more information and help from the community!
